Dear Great Work Montessori School Community,

It is with an extremely heavy heart that we inform you that we will be relinquishing Great Work’s charter to the Jeffco School Board effective at the end of this school year. This means that our school will be winding down.

Our focus now, in collaboration with Jeffco, is providing stability and acting in the best educational interests of our students. Jeffco has agreed to provide three substitutes to support our staffing challenges so that all students can return to school by Tuesday, April 25.

We recognize that many of you are currently enrolled at Great Work for the 2023-24 school year. We encourage you to visit the Jeffco enrollment and registration webpage to select a school for next year. This webpage can help you enroll in your neighborhood boundary school if you live in Jeffco or use the EnrollJeffco process to enroll in a school of your choice.

Please know that we have received your messages. This has been an incredibly difficult and disruptive time for our school community. We recognize that as a Board, we have struggled to effectively respond and proactively communicate and that has felt frustrating to our community. We apologize.

As we turn our efforts toward a strong finish to the year, Jeffco has offered to have Community Superintendent, Tom McMillen, support us in fielding your questions. You can reach Tom at [email protected]. We ask for your support and partnership as we work together to serve students through the remainder of the school year.

Sincerely,

Great Work Montessori Board
