Dear Everitt Families:
Here we go into a much needed break! As I head into the break, I am grateful for the support of our community. When anyone needs help, the Everitt community always comes through. From students helping other students when they fall down in PE class to parents providing help to one another through carpools or Thanksgiving baskets, we are blessed with a community that cares about one another.
Our secure vestibule is almost finished and should be completed over the break! Our signage should also be coming soon. Remember to use our new (south) entrance when you need to come pick up a student during the day.
Please take a moment over the break to check your emergency contact information in Jeffco Connect. When we need to reach out to you, we call the numbers in that system in the order of preference that you give us. We can use you help to ensure that we have the correct information.
Perhaps your children have told you but we are out of the disposable masks that they like and now have only the masks that tie behind their heads. Please send your children with a mask if this is a problem for them.
Our 6th graders came back from Outdoor Lab today. We missed their exuberant energy in the building this week but know that they had a wonderful time. Please see below for a few photos of their week.
This week we talked with all 7th and 8th graders about how to be successful at Everitt and our expectations of all of us. I have linked the slideshow that we used below so that you can see what we talked about. We will talk with 6th graders about it when we return from break.
Thank you for supporting and believing in your neighborhood school. It is our privilege to partner with you!

Everitt Information Night and Tours!
Our next Everitt Information Night (formerly Jump to the Middle) will be on December 1st from 5:30-6:30 pm and will be virtual. It will be a time to hear from a student panel about what being an Everitt student is like, to hear from the 6th grade teams and elective teachers about what classes are like, and to hear from administrators and counselors about what Everitt is like as a whole. Please let your friends and neighbors know!
Our administrators and Sources of Strength students will provide tours to interested families from 1:15-1:45 pm through the rest of the semester. You can call the main office at Everitt to sign up for a time or you can just come and we will accommodate you!

Celebrations!
Hailey P. - At our concert while I was dealing with a mess of percussion trying to get everything and everyone ready, Hailey stepped up and told me she was going to run warm ups with the wind players. She gave clear directions, started students on her own and even dealt with a crazy light outage. She showed more leadership than many adults will in that moment and got everyone settled with what they needed.
Zachery M. - Zach is not afraid to go out of his way and help others that need it. He is a positive role model for everyone. Zach makes sure to include every student and give them a chance to succeed and making every student feel welcome and included.
Za-Mariea W. - ZaMariea has completed two major projects for Spanish 1 and is courageously taking risks to read out loud in Spanish. I am very proud of her and hope she continues on to become biliterate and bilingual in Spanish! Way to go Za-Mariea!
Marcus J. - I am proud of Marcus because he is working hard in Spanish 1 to complete his projects. He is taking risks to read out loud in Spanish and is always a gentleman in class! Way to Go Marcus! Thank You!
Jakeline G. - Jakeline is a very sweet young lady and an important member of our Service Learning class. She has worked hard to participate this semester in our projects, is kind and always respectful to her classmates and to me! I appreciate you Jakeline and I am proud of you!
Kaylee D. - Kaylee had a great week at Outdoor Lab and went out of her way to make sure she shared her gratitude with all staff members.
Ryder G. - Ryder was such a positive influence at Outdoor Lab this week! He was always willing to participate as well as include others in activities. He was great steward to his community making sure to listen when others were speaking. It was a joy to watch his growth this week!
Christian S. - Christian had a phenomenal week at Outdoor Lab. He was able to thrive in a new environment and seemed to genuinely enjoy himself.
Romelo B. - Romelo emerged as a strong leader at Outdoor Lab, and treated his peers with respect. Romelo also showed extreme integrity when on the Ecosystems hike.
Alejandro V. - Alejandro was able to become a strong, positive role model for his peers throughout the end of the week at Outdoor Lab.
Noah R. - Noah had a FANTASTIC week at Outdoor Lab! He was willing to dive right in and lend a helping hand when needed. He was a hopper, helping out at mealtime, and he even encouraged his group to pause for a moment of gratitude during one of his core classes. After hurting his finger he still returned to Outdoor Lab with a smile on his face!
