What We Do...

Life with young children in the Roaring Fork Valley can be active, fun and fast paced. It can also be difficult to navigate and challenging for parents to find resources and support. We polled parents and asked what information and resources were lacking. Families asked for a central digital hub for local information on camps, childcare, activities, well-being and other resources. Based on those responses, we created the Aspen Kids Guide to better serve families in our community.

What We Do...

The Office of Migrant Education at the Colorado Department of Education, is federally funded under Title I, Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The Migrant Education Program (MEP) provides supplemental support to eligible migrant children and youth. The purpose of the program is to ensure that migratory children are not penalized in any manner by disparities among curriculum, graduation requirements, academic content and student academic achievement standards, and ensure that migratory children are provided with appropriate educational services and opportunities so they can succeed in school and graduate from high school being postsecondary education or employment ready. The Migrant Education Program may serve children from birth to the age of 21 who are eligible for a free public education under State Law. In order to qualify for services, children must have moved within the past three years, across state or school district lines with or to join a migrant parent or guardian who has obtained qualifying temporary or seasonal employment in agriculture, fishing, or dairy.
