Resources

Children do better in school when their parents are informed and take a regular, active interest in how they are doing. The new Parent Portal makes this easy. All the information you need is organized and easy to find.
Whether you’re at home, at work or at the library, you can logon to the Parent Portal anywhere that has Internet access and check up on your student.
Need to see if your student arrived to school on time? Did you see the latest test result? Wonder what you can do at home to help your student succeed? You’re just a click away.
Log on to the new Portal today and become an academic partner in your student’s learning. Click here to begin!

The mission of the Children First program is an extension of the Maria Droste Counseling Center vision for affordable, quality counseling services for all people. Children First places counselors in schools across the Denver-metro area to reduce barriers to mental health support.
The program aims to be a valuable resource to children, families, and schools by providing additional mental health support and addressing the needs of children who are experiencing emotional, social or behavioral difficulties so that they are better able to focus on the work of childhood. Colfax Elementary has partnered with the Children First program for over 10 years to support students and their social-emotional needs.
The Children First program is happy to offer 3 free sessions to parents and staff members connected with our partner schools. If you’re interested in accessing this resource, you can call our Access Center at 303-867-4600 and say you are connected to Colfax Elementary.
