March 10 - March 17, 2024
All Students are Curious, Creative, and Confident Learners!
Dear Kendallvue Families,
Earlier this week we sent a reminder that students will be taking our state assessment tests (CMAS - grades 3-5) when we return from spring break. Our testing window is April 2-11, 2024. Please make sure your student comes to school these days and has had a good breakfast.
We had our evacuation drill on Wednesday morning. Our students did an great job exiting the building quickly. Jeffco security was present for the drill and complemented our students throughout the drill. Our evacuation drill (completed once year) is basically a fire drill with a next step to move farther from the building. Our school has now completed the mandatory district Lockdown and evacuation or shelter drills.
Next week, March 18-22nd, is spring break! We will send our next newsletter on March 25th. As a reminder, March 25th is a teacher work day with no students.
Have a great week and I will see you in the parking lot!
Cheers,
Bruce Lindsey

Cell Phones and SMART Watches:
We have had increase incidents in students becoming distracted by texts and phone calls on their SMART Watches. It is our policy that students keep their cell phones (if they have them) in their backpacks during the school day. However, many of our students are now wearing SMART watches and are receiving phone calls and text messages throughout the day. This is incredibly distracting for our students who are getting these calls, in some instances getting up to leave the room to take a call without informing the teacher. This is also distracting for other students who are trying to work and learn. Parents and family members, please refrain from contacting your children via their cell phone or SMART watch during the school day. If you need to get a hold of your student before the end of the day, please call the office. We will get all messages to your child. If this continues to be a problem, we will ask that students also leave SMART watches in their backpacks during the day. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.

Supporting Social-Emotional Learning at Home
Looking to engage in supporting students’ social and emotional well-being at home? We will explore a variety of strategies they can integrate into your household with learners of all ages. We review a bank of valuable resources parents and caregivers can access for additional information about supporting students’ SEL in intentional ways to build empathy, kindness, and an inclusion mindset.
