Fox Families,

Can you believe it is the last few weeks of the 2022 year? I feel the time is flying! I am so happy and excited with all the learning and growing our students are doing.

I want to thank all that attended our very first specials night! It was so fun to see our kids showing off all they do every day. I also want to thank everyone that contributed to our Running to the Max. We have finished our prizes and I think our students loved all the fun experiences they had.

Lastly, I want you to know how much we appreciate each and every one of you. We are grateful for you and your support of Fox Hollow!

Thank you for letting us love on your kids!

Ashley Gray

Principal

Cherry Creek School District is happy to announce the kick-off of our process for nominating the 2022-2023 Educator of the Year. If you are interested in nominating an exceptional educator who represents Cherry Creek’s Mission – “To inspire students to think, to learn, to achieve, to care,” and the District’s Core Values: Growth Mindset, Equity, Whole Wellbeing, Engagement, and Relationships.

All teachers, special service providers (i.e. counselors, psychologists, social workers, nurses, therapists, etc.) and non- teaching licensed personnel (i.e. deans, instructional coaches, etc.) are eligible to be nominated. The written nomination should be between 150-500 words, and describe how the nominee exhibits and/or embodies our mission and core values.

We are excited to honor our outstanding educators and we hope that you will participate in the nomination process. Select the link below to begin your nomination.

Cherry Creek School District is implementing a NEW School Choice application system and updated policies. The new application system will be used for all choice applications, including Non-Resident and Intra-District Transfer requests. Parents will be able to submit a School Choice application for the 2023-2024 school year starting January 1, 2023. This date applies for residents and non-residents of the school district and the first lottery run in early February for district residents, non-resident employees’ children and for students that are currently enrolled as a non-resident or on a 1 year Intra-District transfer. All other applications will be included in bi-weekly lottery runs starting in February. Students who are accepted to a choice school will be accepted to the highest grade level at that school provided they meet the continued enrollment criteria. Additional details about School Choice and the continued enrollment criteria can be found in the School Choice Transfers section of the Admissions website: https://www.cherrycreekschools.org/domain/1145.

Have a great day,

Jeremy Wimer

Thank you to everyone that supported our Book Fair!

During this Scholastic Book Fair, you were able to put over

1394 books into the hands of the students,

which generated more than 250,900 voluntary reading minutes

for the children of your school!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

The current cold and flu season has an increased number of respiratory illnesses. See below how you can continue to do your part to help minimize exposure and spread:

· Keep your student/s home when sick (coughing, frequent sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, etc.)

· Continue to encourage good hand washing habits.

· Sneeze and cough into your elbow instead of your hand

· Keep your students up to date on immunizations; especially Flu (influenza) and COVID-19 vaccines.

· Reach out to your student’s health care provider for any specific concerns or questions.

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks for your help in keeping us all healthy and safe!

About Colorado Gives Day

Join in on Colorado's statewide movement! On the first Tuesday of December since 2010, Coloradans have come together to support the nonprofits that make a difference in our lives. Colorado Gives Day has grown to be Colorado's largest 24-hour giving event, raising more than $362 million for nonprofits across the state since it began. ColoradoGives.org is home to Colorado Gives Day, and your one-stop shop for making good happen for our community.

The Indigenous Parent Action Committee (IPAC) is excited to announce both in-person and virtual meetings for the 2022-2023 school year. We have so much to celebrate from our gatherings last year! Excitedly, we look forward to connecting, building, and expanding on opportunities and engagement for our students.

The District P.A.S.S. (Partnerships for Academically Successful Students) committee is comprised of parents, Cherry Creek Schools teachers and administrators, and community members.

Our goal is to foster an inclusive and safe environment to support the success of students of color. We do this by:

• Engaging community members in meaningful and effective partnerships
• Building relationships between schools and family communities
• Providing parents and and guardians of students of color voice and direct access to the administration

For upcoming District P.A.S.S. dates and meeting information email the Department of Equity, Culture and Community Engagement: CCSDEquity@cherrycreekschools.org, to be added to the email distribution list.

Last year we dismissed all elementary schools one hour earlier (1:45PM) every Wednesday to enhance our elementary teachers' professional development and training opportunities. We had such success with this time we will be continuing this again this school year. In addition, for families who participate in after-school childcare, the after-school program will be extended every Wednesday at no additional cost. For families who need care, you can register with our school's program. See Section "Before and After School Care" for additional information.

Our Before and After School Care program ("Discovery Club") runs before school between 6:30-8:00AM and after school between 2:45–6:00PM (1:45–6:00PM on Wednesdays). Please call 720-886-8761 for more information.

The USDA has ended the funding for FREE school meals. We will provide breakfast in the cafeteria for students to purchase starting at 7:40 am daily.

The Titan Family Portal is a secure, online system that allows parents to:

• Make an online payment to their children's cafeteria meal accounts
• Remotely monitor their children's accounts
• Set up automatic recurring payments
• Set up low balance e-mail message alerts
• Submit an online application for free and/or reduced meals
