Principal’s Newsletter

March/April, 2023

Dear Bluedevil Community,

A reminder from the February newsletter that there have been some changes in the main office here at Fort Lupton High School. Marisol Zito, former attendance secretary, is now our new athletics secretary. She started her new position in January. We interviewed some strong candidates for the new attendance secretary position and were lucky to have hired Genieva Sanchez. She was the previous attendance secretary at Prospect Ridge. She speaks both English and Spanish and brings a wealth of attendance experience to the position. 

Our counselors, Maribel Marquez and Erik Padilla, were hard at work in March completing the last student registrations for the 23-24 school year. Please reach out to the counselor, Maribel Marquez (alpha M-Z) and Erik Padilla (alpha A-L), if you have any questions regarding class offerings.

State testing will be taking place in April here at the high school. Assistant Principal Nate Jacobson is the school assessment coordinator and has put together a schedule for testing. We will have adjusted schedules for PSAT/SAT testing days. CMAS testing will NOT have an adjusted schedule, our regular bell schedule will be followed. 

Mr. Jacobson will also be sending out various communications, to both you and your students, regarding testing schedules, materials, opt-out options, etc. Below is quick information about each test and dates of testing. Please reach out to Mr. Jacobson, here at the high school, if you have any questions regarding testing.
