8th Grade Boston and New York Trip Information
“8th graders, do you want to travel? There are a few spots remaining on the Boston and New York trip. Don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime trip! If 5 more students enroll, Mr. Bourland gets to join us! All that is due upon registration is the $95 enrollment deposit. If you need support with the cost, there are opportunities provided through EF to help make it more affordable, but these are only accessible once your student is registered.
You can enroll for the trip and save your spot here: www.efexploreamerica.com/2794420AY
If you have questions or want to see pictures from when Ms. Rajnowski went on this trip in 8th grade, stop by her room (148)!”

Hello Blevins Families,
I hope the new school year is starting well for you and your child! We have seen so much positivity and engagement from our students, which has created a fantastic atmosphere for learning.
As you know, Blevins is dedicated to the academic success of our students and our own continuous improvement as a school. A significant measure of progress comes each spring during CMAS testing (Colorado Measures of Academic Success). The results have now been released and our students achieved and grew at incredible levels!
Here are some of our successes:
- Students increased or maintained their achievement levels in all grades of Language Arts.
- Overall, our students increased their achievement levels in Math by 3%.
- Our achievement was higher than state average in 8th Grade Language Arts and all three grades in Math.
- In 8th grade Science, our achievement was higher than pre-pandemic levels and higher than state average.
- Math students grew at a higher rate than PSD averages in all three grade levels.
- Our 8th grade Language Arts students grew at a higher rate than PSD average by 14.0 points and state by 18.0 points.
- Students with IEPs grew at a higher rate than PSD average in Math and Language Arts, and grew at a higher rate than state average in Math.
- Gifted students grew at a higher rate than PSD and state average in Math and Language Arts.
I share these successes because we are proud of our students and families, and to reiterate that we are committed to the success of every student who walks through our doors.
You may recall last school year that Blevins was given a Colorado performance framework rating of "Priority Improvement" for CMAS results in spring of '22. As a school, we assessed ourselves and made further commitments to ensure we are supporting students in the best way that we can. We implemented common strategies in every classroom, provided universal access to IXL to provide individualized student learning, and we sought ways to uniquely engage our students and make sure all feel they belong. While we are committed to doing even more to continue our growth this year, I'm excited to share that we have received a new performance framework rating from Colorado: We have been given the designation of "Performance", which is the highest rating!
Thank you for your partnership and support. We believe in every Bruin and couldn't be more proud of their accomplishments last year. We are thrilled for what is ahead with our students this year as well!
Let's go, Bruins!
