I am so excited to share with you that Timber Trail has received two awards from the state of Colorado for our spring CMAS results. This year we have received both the John Irwin Award and the Governor's Distinguished Improvement Award.
"The Governor’s Distinguished Improvement Awards are given to schools that demonstrate excellent student growth. On the School Performance Framework used by the state to evaluate schools, these schools “exceed” expectations on the indicator related to longitudinal academic growth over three years. In 2019, 99 Colorado schools earned this award, including nine in DCSD."
"The John Irwin Awards are given to schools that demonstrate excellent academic achievement. On the School Performance Framework, these schools “exceed” expectations on the indicator for academic achievement over three years. In 2019, 174 Colorado schools earned this award, including 21 in DCSD."
Timber Trail is one of only five Douglas County schools, including Rock Canyon High School that received both awards this year. While we know that standardized test results are not the end all and be all, they are a nice recognition and confirmation of the work, time, dedication and care that our staff and students have put in over the year. We also want to thank our families for their support and helping Timber Trail be the school "where hearts and minds connect."
