K-3 Campus
Note from Mrs. Baker
What a wonderful week of learning at the K-3 Campus. It was so much fun to see the students playing in the snow and finding ways to be creative in their play. Even though we do not have equipment that we can use at recess, the students are using their imagination, problem-solving strategies, and creativity to play at recess.
It was wonderful walking through classrooms this day to see the high level of learning that is happening. I see problem-solving, cooperation, justifying of answers, looking for a 3rd option to solve problems and ask high-level questions. This is happening in all grade levels. New Vision Charter School continues to raise the level of excellence.
As we get into cooler weather, please remember that students need to bring coats, gloves, boots, snow pants, and hats in order to play in the snow. We go outside when the feels like temperature is 20 degrees and higher. We want all students to fully enjoy the wonderful Colorado weather, so please help your child by sending the proper snow gear.
November Family Challenge - This month I challenge every family to create a gratitude jar. The idea is simple, get any jar, some paper and each day before bed, every family member writes one thing they are grateful for, for that day. At the end of the month, take some time to read what you were thankful for this month. I would love to hear what your family is grateful for. I know one of the biggest thing I am grateful for is the New Vision Charter School family.
Have a wonderful and safe weekend.
Driveline Procedures
1. Only drop students off in the drop off zone. Dropping anywhere else, including 1st street is incredibly dangerous.
2. Only turn right out of the parking lot. Use the roundabout East of the school if you need to go west.
3. The Brookstone Apartments are not a turnaround and it is posted. Please use the roundabout East of the school.
4. Move only when NVCS Staff motion you to do so.
5. Avoid cell phone usage during Driveline.
6. Join Driveline only at the end of the line. In the afternoon, this may be past Denver. Please do not cut in line at the intersection at 1st and Denver.
7. You may not join Driveline in the afternoon from the East.
8. Unload students only from the passenger sides.
9. We have staff to help load and unload students, no need for you to get out of your car.
10. Have an extra dose of patience, grace, and kindness to keep everyone safe. The staff and students are moving as fast as we can to get your kids to and from school safely.

Message from Principal Hejl
I hope that all of you enjoyed the extended weekend and made the most of our snow day! I enjoyed hearing about all of the fun things students did as I helped in the lunch room this week. Between tales of snow caves being built to half day Monopoly games, sounds like our families really made the most of the extra time they had together!
This week we hosted our 4th grade Medieval Day! We had bakers, knights, peasants, and jesters all enjoying the fruits of their studies by experiencing medieval food, watching movies set in medieval times, and presenting their medieval diaramas.
Parents, we are moving into cooler seasons and want to remind you to please send your students dressed for warm weather. Students will be kept inside if the weather is under 21 degrees, however with the need for mask breaks we will try to get them outside for short breaks throughout the day. Coats, gloves, and hats are all things that will make being outside for any length of time more comfortable.
Congratulations to all of our New Vision's Got Talent contestants and winners. It was so great to see you all showcase your many talents in our talent show this week. Thank you to all the families who tuned in and participated in the event, it was great to have such a high level of support!
Have a great weekend!
