Each month Book Trust offers $12 a month for all students in ECE through 5th grade in order to purchase Scholastic Reading Club books. This generally equates to 2-3 books each month. At the end of a 9-month school year, students will have chosen 20-30 books to add to their personal home libraries generating an excitement for reading and learning, improving literacy skills, and increasing family and parental engagement in reading at home!
Safe From the Start
DCAC’s Safe from the Start prevention program focuses on safety and child sexual abuse prevention. We use a curriculum from the nationally renowned Committee for Children, especially designed for the prevention of childhood sexual abuse.
Safe from the Start offers a curriculum to grades ECE-5th. The program consists of 5 lessons that are 15-20 minutes long. We can also teach the lessons in Spanish and we provide training to school staff and parents on safety, prevention, and child abuse. Licensed professionals facilitate these trainings.
We have an extensive partnership with Denver Parks and Recreation.
Our Kinder-5th graders participate in many outdoor activities that are sponsored by Denver Parks and Rec staff including snowshoeing, fishing, and skiing.
This will include a big field day team-building kickoff at the beginning of each school year featuring our portable climbing wall and then two programs per year per grade with us that are tied to the Colorado Academic Standards
