Shadow Days

Shadow Day at Chaparral High School

2024-2025

Be a Wolverine for a Day!

Shadow Dates:
Will be announced the week of August 26

Shadow days are designed for eighth-grade students who are new to our community and considering becoming a Chaparral Wolverine next year. Shadow Days provide an opportunity to experience the variety of academics and activities that we offer. Students in our feeder schools or those who are familiar with our school should plan on attending the Chaparral Showcase Wednesday, October 30, 2024 at 5:30 p.m. instead of a shadow day. The shadow day visit is a full seven period day which allows students to see as many classes as possible. Each shadowing student will follow a Chaparral student throughout the day and enjoy a lunch provided by the school. The day starts at 7:45 a.m. in the main hall and is completed at 2:30 p.m. Spaces for this opportunity are extremely limited. If your eighth-grade student is interested in participating, please register here or contact Lauri Echer at 303.387.3524 or at [email protected] to make a reservation.

Shadow days are designed for students who:

are not currently enrolled in one of our feeder schools
have not participated in camps or clubs on our campus
do not have an older sibling attending Chaparral

The Open Enrollment Dates for the 2025 - 2026 school year are:
First Round: November 1, 2024 - December 1, 2024
Second Round opens January 24, 2025

Special education services end when the student is no longer eligible for services, graduates, or completes his/her educational program at age 21, or moves from the district.

After five years, the records are no longer useful to the district, but may be useful to the parent/guardian or former student in applying for social security benefits, rehabilitation services, college entrance, etc. The parent/guardian or eligible (adult) student may request a copy of the records by requesting the records at this link ( Douglas County School District Transcripts and Records Requests ).
