Laura Fennell

Sec - School 205

Growing up in small town Texas, Mrs. Fennell loved her horse, Chico, cheered for the home team every Friday, and rode the family’s proudly trained (by her dad) pet longhorn named Diego. When it came time for college, The University of Texas at Austin was a no-brainer. Mrs. Fennell had fun floating the Comal River and taking in the live music, but then, it was time to move on. She packed one bag and landed in rural Thailand where she taught high school English. Mrs. Fennell still misses her hot pink moped, walking alongside elephants, the food and especially the people there. After hopping around Asia, she dabbled in the world of fine dining and became a sommelier in downtown Chicago, but it wasn’t until she moved to Denver and met her Colorado native, Marine Corps husband that her adventures really began. These days she enjoys family time, thrift stores, every holiday except Valentine’s, compiling family tree research, and sea glass hunting whenever she gets the chance. Mrs. Fennell loves life in Governor’s Ranch and doesn’t think you’ll meet a happier school secretary.

Kaycee Farrell

Sec - Principal Elem 8hr/210

Mrs. Farrell has been a part of the GRE community since her oldest of five started here as a Kindergartener in 2006. Since then, she has served our school as parent volunteer, guest teacher, classroom para while all five of her kids attended the school. When her youngest moved on to middle school, Mrs. Farrell stayed at Governor’s Ranch as a para. This year she joined the office staff to support the school she loves as financial secretary as well as secretary to the amazing Mr. Lucas. One of her favorite things about living in Littleton, CO is being so close to the mountains. She loves to be outside, loves to play board games, and is passionate about health and natural prevention. Mrs. Farrell’s family has two dogs, Lucy (boxer mix) and Winnie (mini-aussie/corgi). When you see her in the office, she’ll have a smile on her face. She’s so thankful to be a part of the GRE family.

Attendance in Jeffco

The importance of regular, daily school attendance as a basis for academic achievement cannot be overemphasized. Attendance is a shared responsibility of the student, the families and the school.

It is the family’s responsibility to ensure their student attends school and to notify the school when their student is absent for a legitimate reason, such as an illness or family emergency. Each family should also ensure their student’s school has their correct contact information so that the school is able to communicate about any attendance issues that may arise.
