Trailblazer Elementary is now in it’s twelfth year. Built in 1998
against the foothills in northwest Colorado Springs, it is a
school-community that shares a common vision; where students and
teachers are the heartbeat of our success. At Trailblazer, we
provide an environment that encourages students to be
successful, and feel valued and accepted. Our school is a place
where everyone comes together to promote learning.
The focus of our dedicated Trailblazer Staff is to bring
students together to build a learning community, to bring the
curriculum together to achieve coherence, and to bring resources
together to enrich our climate so that our students become
knowledgeable, successful and socially responsible citizens.
Trailblazer is a great place to be! Please come visit, we
welcome you!
Successory Cards
The
Successory Card contains your students’ name and space for a
personal message from you. The message can be of a personal,
academic, or social nature rewarding and praising your child for
a job or deed well done. The principal will announce your
child’s name during morning announcements, as being a
“Successory Card” receiver, and then personally delivers the
message you have written to your child.
The Cards are located in the office, and can be purchased for 50
cents apiece. Please stop by and fill out a card or two.
Thank you for participating in and supporting such a wonderful
program designed to bolster confidence and reward successful
events in your child’s life!

Safety Policies
Safety is on all of our minds, and we ask that
you remember to follow these policies. They are in place for the
protection of all our students, staff, and visitors.
#
ALL visitors/volunteers must check in at the office before
proceeding to a classroom.
# ALL
visitors/volunteers must wear an identification sticker while in
our school. These stickers must be visible at all times.
# We
welcome all volunteers. We do ask, however, that you do not
bring younger siblings when volunteering as it is a distraction
to our instructional time and a safety issue for the younger
sibling.
#
When taking a student out of school early, you must come into
the office and sign them out. At that time, the student will be
called to the office and released from school. No student will
be released from the classroom unless the teacher has received
notification from the office.
#
Students are not to be dropped off before 7:45 a.m., unless they
are involved in a school-sponsored activity. There is no outside
supervision until 7:45 a.m.
# If
parents come to school to get their student(s) at regular
dismissal time, we ask that you wait outside your student’s exit
door and not in the pods or corridors.
# For
the safety of our students, staff, and visitors, the front doors
are locked 24 hours, 7 days a week. Easy-to-follow directions on
how to gain access into the building, during school hours,are
posted on the front door.
As a staff, we will continue to reassure our students
that our school is a safe place to be. Please observe our
policies and help us keep our children safe and secure!
Parking Lot Safety Issues
Upon entering the parking lot, PLEASE observe all posted signs
and marked parking spaces. Note that the curb area in front of
the kindergarten playground is a drop off point only. It is
strictly a NO PARKING AREA, which means the driver may not leave
the vehicle or remain in this space for any length of time.
Also, please do not leave small children in your vehicle if you
leave it to take your child to their classroom.
Toys and Other Personal Items at School
Students are not allowed to bring toys, of
any kind, to school as they distract from the educational
process. Cell phones must turned off and remain in the student’s
backpack during the day. Any toys or other personal items
brought to school will be taken from the student and returned
only to the student’s parent by the principal.
Yellow Flag Procedure
Trailblazer will have a yellow flag procedure in place on days
when the wind chill temperature is below 20 degrees, or when
there is heavy precipitation.
At the front and side entrances there will be yellow
flags to indicate to students that they may go into their
classrooms at 7:45 a.m. Students may use the front entrance to
enter the building on yellow flag days only. Teachers will be in
their classrooms to supervise.
