Resources for Students & Parents
At Circle Rock Charter, we want to help you and your children be prepared. Below you can find links to online resources, downloadable forms, and other documents.
School Resources
The Parent Student Handbook will tell you what you can expect at the Catalyst Schools Circle Rock Charter School. It will also tell you what the school will expect of you as a parent or student.
The Student Code of Conduct provides information about the school's expectations for student behavior and the consequences for inappropriate behavior. Catalyst Circle Rock Charter School has a culture of calm and respect. Everyone at the school is expected to treat others as they would want to be treated.
The application is a simple form that must be completed before a child is admitted to the school.
The Mission Orientation Packet is given to each new teacher. It is an expression of how Catalyst Staff is called to live the schools' mission.
School Bells provided information about uniforms for our website and your convenience. Check out the latest about uniforms here.
This document will tell you about the mission and the vision of the Catalyst School.
At the Catalyst Schools, assessment is important. We believe the parents of our children want to know more about the academic progress being made throughout the year. The NWEA measures academic progress (MAP) and is used three times each year. This link will take you to the NWEA site that hosts the NWEA PARENT TOOL KIT.
