Jewell Elementary School

What Jewell Elementary School does

Jewell Elementary School is a public K-5 institution operated by Aurora Public Schools (APS) district, located at 14601 E. Jewell Ave. in Aurora, Colorado. The school serves approximately 400+ students spanning Preschool (AM, PM, and Full-Day programs) through 5th grade, delivering standards-based core academic instruction in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies, supplemented by specialist classes in Art, Physical Education, Music, and STEM. The school has no commercial revenue model; it is funded through district allocations derived from local property taxes, state education funding, and federal education programs, with families paying no tuition. Before/after school care is delivered on-site through a partnership with the YMCA of Metropolitan Denver.

The school's underlying technology stack consists of third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems: every classroom is equipped with Boxlight interactive whiteboards and every student has a personal Chromebook, supporting a 1:1 device program. Assessment infrastructure relies on I-Ready (adaptive diagnostics in ELA and Math administered three times per year) and the CogAT universal screener for gifted identification. Communication is handled through SchoolMessenger, Google Sites-based teacher websites, and the PeachJar digital flyer system. Behavioral and academic support is structured around Positive Behavior Intervention & Supports (PBiS), Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) with dedicated READ and math interventionists, a Newcomer Support teacher for English language learners, and an Autism specialist.

Jewell's service model spans exceptional student services (Speech, OT, PT, Social Work, ESS), Gifted & Talented programming with a dedicated GT Facilitator, mental health counseling, and family engagement through monthly Parent Coffees, PTO/SAC meetings, and a Family Liaison. The school does not compete commercially; enrollment is determined by APS attendance zone assignment. Auxiliary revenue (in the form of community fundraising) flows through partnerships with King Soopers Community Rewards, Amazon Smile, Box Tops for Education, and Target REDcard. The entity is governed by the APS Board of Education with Principal Lacy Jolly leading day-to-day operations.
