Frequently Asked Questions | Preguntas frecuentes1. What does it mean to be an “EL” or “Expeditionary Learning” school?
Being an EL school means we are part of the EL network of schools that embraces the philosophy of Expeditionary Learning. We strive to make learning real, engaging, and challenging for students.

Click here to visit our curriculum page! Our rigorous curriculum thoroughly covers English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics (Up to Algebra I), Science, Social Studies, Religion, Art, Music, Technology, and Physical Education & Health, as well as a thorough early childhood curriculum. Through this curriculum, we are committed to providing engaging and challenging educational programs to all students which expand their minds, sharpen their intellects, build their characters, and nurture their souls. 3. Do students at Annunciation take Standardized Tests? Like all accredited schools, our students take nationally standardized tests once a year to hold us accountable to expectations for student growth and assist our school in improving instruction. However, unlike our counterparts in the public school system, we do place an emphasis on standardized testing preparation or results, but on celebrating student learning and growth. We believe testing data is one piece of evidence we can use to learn more student learning and growth, but it is not the only piece nor the most important piece of evidence. The data we use to monitor student progress is the Renaissance STAR 360 Assessment Suite (Grades K-8) which includes Fall, Winter, & Spring benchmark assessments in Math & English Language Arts. Additionally, some teachers use a nationally normed benchmarking and strategic monitoring system called AIMSweb with students and parents to track student growth in ELA and Math over the course of each year. 4. Do we need to be Catholic to attend a Catholic school? Of course not. We value diverse faith backgrounds in our school community, and we also believe that the power of an excellent Catholic education should be available to anyone who desires it. 5. Is there a registration fee? Yes. The registration fee holds a spot for your child in a class (It is not an “application fee”). The registration fee is non-refundable and applies to all grade levels. The registration fee is $100.00 per new family ($50.00 for returning families), and is due with your registration packet. For returning families, if the fee is turned in after the due date, there is an additional $50 late fee. 6. What if I need Financial Aid, Tuition Assistance, Scholarships, or help with Fees? We appreciate the financial commitments and sacrifices made by families so that their children can receive a high-quality Catholic education. To make the cost more manageable for families, we offer tuition assistance for all students and families who are unable to pay full tuition, as well as families who are registered parishioners of Annunciation or another Catholic Parish. We will never turn a family away that truly wants a Catholic education because of the ability to pay. The Financial Aid / Tuition Assistance application is part of the Registration Packet, or you can apply online here. Click here to learn more on our “Financial Aid & Scholarships” Page. 7. Do I need to be a Registered Catholic and what does that mean? You do not need to be a Registered Catholic in order to attend Annunciation. But being a registered member of a Catholic parish qualifies you for a tuition discounts. According to Archdiocesan Guidelines, being a “Registered Catholic” means... A. Family must be registered with a parish for six months. B. Verifiably (through use of offertory envelopes or online giving contributes on a regular basis for the financial support of the parish. C. Family attends mass regularly and is involved in the activities, organization, or programs of the parish. 8. What is “Safe Environment Training,” and do I need it? Ensuring a safe environment for children and young people is a top priority, and it takes continuous effort. The Archdiocese pledges to continue its efforts and work toward identifying areas where we can be more effective. To ensure this safe school environment, all employees, parents, volunteers of the parish/school who are involved with children, youths, and vulnerable adults are required to attend a Safe Environment Training with the Archdiocese of Denver. If you need safe environment training, please see http://archden.org/child-protection/ for classes. |
