I hope you all enjoyed your snow day on Wednesday. It's always fun to come to school and see Everitt's hill covered in sledding tracks on the day after a snow day. Each evening as I leave, the hill is covered with happy families enjoying the snow. Our middle schoolers are ready to get back on the basketball courts on the north side of our building, though. These Colorado kids aren't used to the snow sticking around!

Our "What We're Working on at Everitt" slides (found below) are updated. Check them out to see what is going on in our classrooms this month and to find out how to support your student in their classes. Thanks to our wonderful teachers for putting together this information.

Next week at Cafe con la Directora, we will begin preparing for International Night. This year, International Night will be a community-wide event. We are working with each of our elementary schools and Wheat Ridge High School to create an event that celebrates all of the beautiful cultures and countries represented in our community. If you would like to share your family's culture, please join us on Wednesday evening at 6:00! If you can't make it on Wednesday but would like to participate, reach out to Edgar Solis, family liaison, and he will get you everything you need.

Please mark your calendars to come to the PTA Family Night “Soups On!” on Wednesday, February 1st from 5:30 - 7:30 pm in the cafeteria. This will be a night of enjoying soups made by our community and each other's company. You can sign up to share a favorite recipe here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F44A8AD23ABF4C43-soups or just bring your family and have a bowl, play games and connect!

Thanks to all of you who filled out the family survey last week. If you haven't yet filled it out, please do so. The survey helps us to know what we are doing well and how we can better serve you and your family. We value your feedback.

Last week, I promised to share our 6th and 8th grade honor roll lists and other celebrations. Since we didn't get to celebrate with our students this week (due to the snow day), I will share them next week.

Thank you for supporting and believing in your neighborhood school. It is our privilege to partner with you!

It is already time to think about next school year!

Our principal, Amanda Pouliot, will be giving tours to families every Wednesday at 1:00 pm. If that time does not work for your family, we are happy to schedule another time. Please let your friends and neighbors know about the tours. Thank you!

Jeffco Public Schools will launch new healthy and equitable start and end times districtwide for the 2023-2024 school year. The District’s goal is to align start and end times across all Jeffco schools to create consistency for our schools which equals equitable instruction for all students and increased student achievement. All new start and end times are updated in School Finder.

Learn more about Healthy and Equitable Start Times from Deputy Superintendent Dr. Kym LeBlanc-Esparza by watching this video. There are also resources available for families to help create healthy sleep habits and routines.
