Good afternoon Roncalli Families,

With the closure of Roncalli STEM Academy at the end of the school year, you should have received both an email and a printed letter indicating the school where your student is enrolled for the 2024-25 school year. Please note that these letters also include information regarding how to request a different school through the choice process. Roncalli students have been prioritized in this process and so if your student is interested in attending a school that is different from what they were assigned, we encourage you to complete the choice application soon. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact our front office at 719-549-7450. Thank you and have a nice evening.
