Student Fees - Due by August 11th
|
The District has transitioned from the PayForIt platform to PaySchools for all student fee payments You should be able to log in to PaySchools using your existing PayForIt credentials. If you did not previously have a PayForIt account, you will need to create a new PaySchools account. We have included easy to follow instructions on how to set up an account. Most of your account information will transfer automatically; however, your saved credit card information will not transfer. Before making a payment, you will need to enter and save your payment information in PaySchools. DO NOT select the ACH option for payment. The District has this option disabled. The Complete Parent Guide to PaySchools Annual school fees have been added to your student’s account and they will be due by August 11th. Course specific fees will be added once school begins.
The free and reduced benefit process is handled through the Lunch Program process:

Secondary Schedule Change Requests
Criteria for Requesting a Change: Counselors work hard to give students the classes they request. Schedule changes will only be considered if:
Submitting a Change Request: If - based on the criteria outlined - you believe there is an error in your schedule or would like to request a change, your student should:
Additional Guidance: All schedule requests must be communicated through the schedule change form. This is true for all students even if they have contacted their school counselor directly. Requesting a schedule change does not guarantee a change can be made. Students must continue to attend the classes on their current schedule until notified of any changes. Students and one of their parents/guardians will receive an email sharing the outcome of their request.

School Supplies
|
Secondary supply lists may vary by course and some are available here. In most cases, students in grades 6–12 will receive any additional class-specific supply requirements from their teachers during the first week of school. We encourage 6th-12th grade students to be prepared with basic supplies (pen, pencil, device, spiral notebook).
Technology: 4th-8th Grade: Stargate will be providing One to One Chromebooks for students to use in school in 4th through 8th Grades. For 4th and 5th grade students, they will leave the device at school for use in the classroom only. For 6th-8th grade students, they will have a device contract for using the device at school and home. Optional insurance is available. Please review the Chromebook Policy.
High School: 9th-12th Grade students will Bring Their Own Device. As outlined in Stargate's Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) guidelines, each student is solely responsible for their own technology device(s). Devices should have a password or pass code enabled as a security feature. Students are to never leave a device unattended if unlocked and are advised not to share their device. Students are also responsible to ensure their device is at school every day, fully charged, properly updated, and virus free. Stargate is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged devices and is not responsible for upkeep or update of students’ personal devices.
Note: Only wired headphones are allowed |
Lockers, Athletics & Extracurriculars
|
Secondary students (grades 6–12) may request a locker; information regarding fees and availability can be found LINK. Students interested in participating in athletics can find information about sports registration, fees, required physicals, and other requirements on our Athletics pages.
Information about clubs, activities, and other extracurricular opportunities is shared after the start of the school year. |
School Photos, Senior Resources & HS Planning Checklists
|
School ID and yearbook photos for Secondary students are taken the first day of school. Note: Secondary school IDs are to be worn while on campus during the school day.
Information about ordering school photos will be shared when available.
For Stargate seniors, please visit the Senior Resource page for information to support college and post-secondary planning. High school students in other grade levels can also access year-by-year planning checklists to help them prepare for future academic and career goals.

Transportation, Parking & Navigating the Loop

UPDATE! Parking and the traffic loops updates will be provided before school starts in August.
Stargate does not provide transportation to or from the school. We strongly recommend carpooling with other families. Traffic and parking information is available via the links provided.
To assist you in carpool planning, we participate in:
Way to Go School Pool - a regional partnership between the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) and a group of Transportation Management Associations (TMAs). To access our Stargate-only pool, you'll need a secure link set up JUST for Stargate families, please email [email protected] and a staff member will provide it.
