Back to School Information

Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year!

 

We are excited to begin our 18th year of serving students and their families on the Western Slope of Colorado.  If you are new to Caprock Academy, welcome!  We are happy that you have made the important decision to partner with Caprock Academy to educate your child.  If you are a returning family, we are excited to continue on this path with you and your family.  

 

Please use this page for all of your Back-to-School information and resources.  Please make sure you check back frequently as additional information will be added regularly.
