Medication at School
MEDICATION AT SCHOOL:
Whenever possible, children should be given medication at home. HA encourages parents to work with their doctors to prescribe dosages that can be given at home rather than at school. However, if a child must be given medication during the school day, it must be given by a registered nurse, or someone under the direction and supervision of a registered nurse.
The State Board of Nursing requires certain procedures be adhered to when a child must take medication at school, whether it is prescription or non prescription medication. Only middle and high school aged students may carry and self administer their own medication if authorized in writing to do so by the physician, and their parents, and have submitted a written request to the school nurse. The school nurse must concur that the child can safely self administer his or her own medication.
The school must have a signed DPS medication form that clearly states the name of the medication and the exact time it is to be administered at school. The school must also have the physician's signed medication form, which matches instructions on the medicine container. This requirement applies to both prescription and non prescription medication. Prescription medication must be in its original pharmacy labeled container, which clearly shows the name of the prescribing physician, the child’s name, the name of the medication, the time it is to be administered, and dosage. Over the counter medication including Ibrupefen, Tylenol, and cough drops are not allowed to be carried by any student without proper paperwork in the health office. Non prescription medication must also be in its original container. Dosages, which require a tablet or pill to be split, must be split by the pharmacist. School staff may not split tablets or pills. If the dosage requirement changes, a new medication form must be completed and the medication container label must match the new instructions.
REMINDER - Immunization Letters to Parents
By February 15, per Colorado Board of Health rule 6 CCR 1009-2, schools and child care centers are required to directly distribute the Annual Parent Letter to the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of every enrolled student.
Schools and child cares are required to include the school's specific immunization and exemption rates for the MMR vaccine for the school's enrolled student population from the prior school year (2022-23)
School and child cares may include the school's specific immunization and exemption rates for other school-required vaccines for the school's enrolled student population from the prior school year (2022-23)
Rates from the 2022-23 school year are located on the Department’s public immunization data dashboard.
The Annual Parent Letters are available on the Department’s website in English, Spanish, Amharic, Arabic, Burmese, Cambodian, Chinese, French, Karen, Korean, Russian, Somali, Thai, and Vietnamese.

Gifted and Talented Program
Highline Academy Northeast Programming Plan 2023-2024
At Highline Academy Northeast, we are committed to fostering a diverse and equitable community of youth and adults, striving together for academic, personal, and civic excellence. We are dedicated to the continuous development of our Gifted and Talented programming and talent pool, in order to create a community of self-motivated learners who not only REACH IN and develop the skills necessary to achieve their social and emotional goals but also REACH UP to meet their individual academic goals. These students are able to REACH OUT and lead by example in our school family as well as the community at large. Students identified as gifted or highly gifted will have specific academic and social-emotional goals outlined in their Advance Learning Plans while students in the talent pool work toward full identification.
We work together to foster an environment of acceptance and belonging that encourages students to take academic risks, express their authentic nature, and develop their unique skill sets and interests. Students are provided with both in-class differentiated instruction and small-group instruction in weekly cohort meetings. We work collaboratively with grade-level educators and provide multiple professional development opportunities over the course of the year. We work with our students’ families, communicating through Talking Points and updates in the Highline newsletter. We strive to challenge, support and encourage students to become their best selves and positively impact their communities.
If you have any additional questions about our Northeast campus Gifted and Talented program, please contact Ms. Leah Gerig at LGerig@HighlineAcademy.org.
Special Education Information
Highline Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, transgender status, religion, national origin, immigration/citizenship status, ancestry, age, marital status, pregnancy status, veteran status, disability, genetic information, or any other basis on which discrimination is prohibited by law. Highline Academy serves students with disabilities and multilingual learners and provides services to students as required by state and federal law. Highline Academy participates in the Denver Public Schools SchoolChoice system and we encourage all students to apply.
Like all charter schools, Highline Academy is a public school. Highline Academy serves students with disabilities and multilingual learners and provides services to students as required by state and federal law. Charter schools are subject to all federal and state laws and constitutional provisions prohibiting discrimination. Laws applicable to students with disabilities include the individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Our charter contract with Denver Public Schools prohibits discrimination based on race, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, transgender status, religion, national origin, immigration/citizenship status, ancestry, age, marital status, pregnancy status, veteran status, disability, genetic information, or any other basis on which discrimination is prohibited by law.
In most cases, the services required by a student with disabilities can be provided at Highline Academy. As a part of Denver Public Schools, we participate in a district-wide system of center-based programs. Each student's IEP team is responsible for determining the student's special education placement, including services and educational setting; in some cases, the services and setting determined by the student's IEP team may only be available in a center-based program on a different campus, in which case the district may determine that the IEP should be implemented in an alternate location. Under IDEA and Section 504, students with disabilities are entitled to a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). The services a student requires under IDEA are described in an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Under Colorado law (Exceptional Children’s Educational Act), the provision of FAPE and specific services required by a student’s IEP are a joint responsibility of the charter school and their authorizer, in our case, Denver Public Schools.
