TCAP Information
The Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) is Colorado’s standards-based assessment designed to provide a picture of student performance to schools, districts, educators, parents and the community. The primary purpose of the assessment program is to determine the level at which Colorado students meet the Colorado Model Content Standards in the content areas assessed. The TCAP is collaboratively developed by the Colorado Department of Education, the Colorado teaching community and CTB/McGraw-Hill. The data should be used to keep abreast of individual student, school, and district progress toward attaining higher student achievement levels. The fact that TCAP is based on the Colorado Model Content Standards will ensure that all districts are held to the same challenging standards that Coloradans expect for their students regardless of whether they live in urban, suburban, or rural areas.

The testing sessions will be posted on the event calendar on the website.

Winter Weather is Here!
Please remember to dress your child warmly with gloves, hats, coats and boots because inside days will occur when the temperature is 22 degrees or below. Our general rule is when the temperature drops below 22 degrees and/or there is heavy snow or rain students will stay inside. Students should always dress appropriately for the weather. The temperature is indicated by the weather station that is located on Bromley’s roof. We will have signs on the main doors to indicate whether or not it will be an inside or outside day. Front Door Sign: When arriving in the morning please check the sign on the front door. If the sign says, “inside” please proceed to your classroom and sit in the hallway until school starts.
