Check out the many reasons families love Shelton!

Family Engagement

The Family Engagement committee is an additional support to our liaison, Megan Goodpaster, to provide resources and supplies to meet all of our family and student needs at Shelton.  Golden has a number of resources that Megan can direct families to for help with rent/mortgage assistance, help getting glasses, help with groceries, gas, clothing, and more.  Reach out to Megan at megan.goodpaster@jeffco.k12.co.us or (303) 982-3462 if you or someone you know could use help.   All help is confidential.
 
How can you help?  By donating gift cards to local grocery stores like King Soopers, Target, or Wal-Mart in amounts less than $50.  Gift cards can be mailed to the school or dropped off: c/o Family Engagement, 420 Crawford St, Golden, CO, 80401.  Also watch for sign-ups in Konstella to provide healthy snacks to support our students. Thank you so much for your support!
