Registration

How can my child apply to STEM Lab?

Families with students wishing to attend STEM Lab will need to apply for admission by using the district’s Schools of Choice Program. Families will be able to apply beginning December 1st through the Five Star District website. Application deadline is January 31st. Siblings of students already attending STEM Lab will have priority in the admissions lottery for their school. Priority will be given to in-district students and determined by a lottery system based on five geographic zones within the Adams 12 district. Out-of-district students will only be accepted for admittance after all in-district requests have been met.

Nutrition

How do I pay for student lunches?

You may add money to your child's meal and snack account by way of cash or check at your school kitchen.

You may also opt to add money to your account online using our certified, secure, third-party provider at https://www.payforit.net/. To create an account you'll need a valid email address and your child's student ID, which can be obtained from your kitchen manager, school office, or your Infinite Campus account. At PayForIt you may set low balance auto notifications and auto payments to help manage your student(s) account. There is no convenience fee to use this service.

What if my child has special dietary needs?

Adams 12 Nutrition Services understands that there are many students in our schools with special dietary needs.  Nutrition Services wants to make you aware of our Special Dietary Needs procedures.  

Adams 12 WILL:

  • Make meal modifications (substitutions) prescribed by a licensed physician to accommodate a dietary disability based on a medical statement completed and signed by a licensed physician (doctor of medicine or osteopathy).
  • Make modifications (substitutions) for students as called for in their Section 504 or an IEP plans. 

Adams 12 WILL NOT:

  • Make meal modifications (substitutions) prescribed by a medical authority due to a food allergy/intolerance or other medical condition that does not rise to the level of a disability. In this case, Adams 12 Nutrition Services WILL provide nutrition information regarding ingredients in menu items specific to the student’s allergy or intolerance to help parents and students make appropriate meal choices.
  • Make substitutions for fluid cow’s milk due to a food allergy or intolerance or for other reasons.

Volunteering

I'm interested in volunteering. Now what?

Volunteers are among the Five Star District's most valuable assets used to assist schools in providing the best possible education for each student. Volunteers help:

  • to provide teachers with more time to work with students
  • to enrich children's learning opportunities
  • to provide individual attention to children who may need more one-on-one assistance than the classroom teacher is able to provide
  • to promore a school/home/community partnership for quality education
  • to assist teachers and support personnel in non-instructional tasks

Those interested in volunteering should visit http://www.adams12.org/volunteers.

For more information, please contact Andrea Overton, STEM Coordinator, Andrea.Overton@adams12.org, 720-972-3348.
