Welcome to the Maxwell Elementary School website! We hope that this site will help you learn more about our wonderful school and staff.
At Maxwell Elementary, we boast the highest CSAP scores for the Montbello/ Green Valley Ranch area. We are above the district average and constantly strive to raise our scores.
Maxwell Elementary uses the District Literacy Plan in conjunction with Accelerated Reader (AR). Through Accelerated Reader, we are able to motivate our children to push themselves to read higher level books and comprehend more of what they are reading. Maxwell teachers strive to become Model Classrooms, achieving a 90% or higher comprehension rate on all quizzes taken through Accelerated Reader. Currently, there are five model classrooms in the school as well as a Model Library. We also have one of the only Master Classrooms in the state of Colorado. To learn more about Accelerated Reader, ask your child’s teacher or check out the website at http://www.renlearn.com/ar/ .
At Maxwell, our students love to read and we can prove it! In the year 2007, we had the highest circulation of any Denver Public School. Visit our librarian’s link (Robin Bashor) to learn more about this amazing achievement!
Maxwell parents and teachers work together to make sure that our students succeed. The Collaborative School Committee (CSC) and MAX Parents (formerly known as PTSA)work together to provide a great learning community at Maxwell. Fund-raising projects have been established to enrich the curriculum programs and to help provide our many special extra-curricular activities. Contact Mikel Royal (303)576-6557 for more information about the MAX Parents and other opportunities to be involved at Maxwell.
We hope you enjoy our new website. We are constantly striving to improve, not only this website, but our communication with our families. If you have any feedback regarding this website, please send your comments to janette_barela@dpsk12.org
