Family Engagement

New in 2020-21 is our family engagement team. The Family Engagement committee is an additional support to our liaison, Terri Pankey, to provide resources and supplies to meet all of our family and student needs at Shelton.  Golden has a number of resources that Terri can direct families to for help with rent/mortgage assistance, help getting glasses, help with groceries, gas, clothing, and more.  Reach out to Terri at terri.pankey@jeffco.k12.co.us 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.  Thank you so much for your support!

​The Family Engagement team recently held a school supply drive and collected enough materials to provide each grade level a backpack with all the supplies needed for both an in-person and remote student -- over 28 bags in total!  Thank you to everyone who donated and the team that spent their day sorting the supplies.
