    • Academics and Extended Spring Break
      To prevent the spread of COVID-19, Governor Polis, along with support from superintendants
      across Colorado, have made the decision to extend school closures through April 30th, 2020.
      Penrose is excited to work with our students on Distance Learning learning opportunities.

      which will be LIVE by April 7th!

    • Why Project Based Learning?

      Project Based Learning (PBL) is an  instructional approach that  focuses on inquiry. Given an essential question, students work collaboratively on projects to address issues specific to our community.

      A Message from District 11 Superintendent Dr. Michael Thomas
      School Closures Extended Until April 30th, 2020

      Dear D11 Families,

      Earlier today, during a press conference, Colorado Governor Jared Polis announced the suspension of in-person learning across our state through April 30, 2020. This order aligns with the President’s guidelines announced earlier this week.

      Our district will continue our current path of conducting distance learning. At this time, we do not know if we will return after April 30, 2020, or if the suspension of in-person learning will continue.  Please know, we continue to work closely
      with the Governor and are following the recommendations of state and regional health professionals. As we learn more, we will share updates.


      Yours in Partnership,

      Dr. Michael J. Thomas, Superintendent
      Colorado Springs School District 11
