If you have not created an account, we highly encourage each individual parent/guardian to do so. Each front office has a short document on how to create an account.

Students, just as in previous years, your username is your student number. New this year is a new password format, which is “<first name initial><last name initial><birthdate MMDDYY>” – therefore, your password should be 2 letters and 6 numbers.

The James Irwin Charter Schools family will deeply miss our beloved Tate Tulloss (Class of 2009).  Whether in the classroom, on the athletic field, or in the community, Tate exemplified integrity and excellence in every way.  At the time of his death, Tate was preparing for his second year at Colorado School of Mines in pursuit of a degree in computer science.  He touched so many lives and we are grateful to have known him as a student and a friend.  May all who remember Tate, continue on in pursuit of excellence, following his example as a servant-leader.

Candlelight Vigil

On Thursday, August 12th, meet at 510 Comanche Dr. Colorado Springs, CO 80905 in honor of Tate. Come at dusk and bring a candle or cellphone.

Memorial Service

The final time for the memorial service for Tate is 1pm Tuesday, August 17th at New Life Church(11025 Voyager Parkway Colorado Springs, co 80921) with the reception immediately following. Blue was Tate’s favorite color; in his honor, please wear blue instead of black.
