We are excited to welcome Katie Robison as our newest Kindergarten teacher! After a 10 year break to stay at home with her 2 children, Katie is excited to be returning to teaching! She has a Master’s degree in Teaching and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Northeastern University. Katie loves coaching and playing volleyball, spending time adventuring with her family, singing, dancing and cuddling her 2 dogs. She can’t wait to meet her new Kindergarteners! Welcome, Ms. Robison!
We would like to welcome our newest first grade teacher- Bailey Garrett. Bailey was with us last year as a long term sub and we are excited to welcome her as a member of our teaching staff! Welcome, Ms. Bailey!
"I am honored to have long term subbed last year at our school, so I am happily familiar with the friendly faces of Twin Peaks! A little about me, I graduated from UNCO with my masters degree in Elementary Education in 2020. I am married and am a Colorado native! In my spare time I love reading, crafting, visiting friends and family, and doing puzzles! I am so proud to be a part of the Twin Peaks Classical Academy family, go Timberwolves!"
We want to welcome our new 6th grade English teacher- Zach Klein. You may recognize him as he has been coaching men's and women's soccer for Twin Peaks already. This will be his first year teaching and we are excited to have him join our teaching staff. Welcome, Mr. Klein!
Hey, Timberwolves! You can walk right on by those school supply displays you see in every store. Twin Peaks Classical Academy provides all school supplies to our K-12 students as part of student fees. Students need to bring a backpack, water bottle, and a lunch box (if they are bringing lunch from home)- the rest will be waiting in their classrooms on the first day of school! #schoolsupplies #twinpeaksclassicalacademy #longmont #backtoschool
Another Summer Project done for our drive lines.
Speaking of Summer projects… next week I hope to have a day and a time to call for parent and secondary student volunteers. The classroom floor project is almost done, and we need to get classroom furniture back into classrooms, so the hallways can be painted in our school colors! Like most major projects I don’t have a specific date yet, but when I do I’ll seek our community out for assistance!

A great turn out for Kindergarten Round Up. Welcome to the class of 2035!
It may be chilly, but Field Day is on! Come cheer on your Timberwolf!
8:15 - 9:45 1st/2nd Grade Field Day
10:00-11:30 3rd/4th/5th Grade Field Day
Due to weather concerns, we will make a decision by 8:00AM on Tuesday morning regarding Field Day. Be looking for another message then.
Yannis Diby finished off one of the best seasons in TPCA history with a second place finish at the State Track meet this morning. Congratulations to Yannis, he was supported at the meet by his coaches, and 2004 Olympic Silver Medalist in the High Jump, Matt Hemingway.
Reminder! We have finals beginning next week. There will be no early releases from finals sessions. If a student finishes early – they will remain in class until the end of the testing period. Please refrain from picking up students in the middle of a period as it causes disruption and distraction to the testing environment. Thank you and good luck next week!
Celebrating these Kindergarteners' promotion to 1st grade!
We have all items from our Lost and Found in the Elementary Lobby starting through Tuesday, May 24th. The front office has jewelry, glasses and other smaller items. All items not picked up by Tuesday morning will be donated.
These students all earned awards for their participation in the 100 Mile Club this year!

Using special equipment, AP Biology students analyzed DNA to determine their genotype for an Alu repeat of the PV92 locus on chromosome 16.
The students extracted, amplified using a polymerase chain reaction, and separated through gel electrophoresis their own DNA.
The students then used the results of the experiment to discuss whether the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and analyzed their results using a chi-square analysis.
