Dear Everitt Families:

What a beautiful day today!


Today, we had a visit from our partners at CDE. We applied for and won a grant that gives us support from CDE partners for the next three years and additional funding to do the amazing things that we want to do for students. Today, the team spent the day observing in classrooms and meeting with staff to better understand our school. We are excited about this partnership and the opportunities that it will open up for our students and staff.


Our students took the reading MAP test this week in their language arts classes. Next week, they will be taking the math MAP test. The results from these tests are given to students immediately so please ask them how they did!


Camp Everitt is shaping up to be an amazing experience this summer. Our school team and our community partners are working hard to prepare a fun week of exploring "Making Waves." A link to sign up can be found below.


We have many, many fun end-of-the-year events coming up. Be sure to put the dates on your calendar so that you don't miss them.


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

FROM THE HEALTH ROOM

Dear Parents:


It is time to get ready for SUMMER BREAK!


If your student has medication in the health room, the Jeffco District Board Policy JLCD, states:


Unused medication: It is the responsibility of the parent to obtain all unused medication from

the school when the medication is expired, discontinued, the school year ends, or the family

transfers to another district. All medication left in the school under these circumstances will be disposed of using district guidelines and monitoring by the district RN.


This includes all prescription and over-the counter medications including but not limited to:

cough drops, cough syrup, Tylenol, EpiPen, inhaler, insulin, and any other injectable

medications.


Please note: This includes any closing school!


If you, as the parent, are not able to pick-up the medication in person, please call your district

RN to discuss alternative arrangements.


If your child will be in summer school (JSEL or ESY) this summer, please pick up the medication as noted above; the current medication agreement form will be copied and put in a Ziploc along with the medication. You will need to bring this Ziploc bag to your child’s first day of summer school at the site he/she is attending and check it in with the health aide.

Please pick up ALL medications by the last day of school which is May 26, 2023. All medications left in the school health room will be disposed of according to Jeffco policy. If you have any questions, feel free to call your school health aide at the following number: 303-982-1565.


Thank you and have a good summer!

CELEBRATIONS!

Mr. Bauer - Bauer is always there to help... I know I can count on him to help with the heavy lifting literally and figuratively. There are literally days I could not accomplish the task without him. Thank you so so very much.


Jaiden G. - Jaiden works to make sure everyone in his group has a chance to participate and contribute.


Trevon B. - Trevon has a great positive attitude in PE. He always comes in with a smile on his face and is excited to get started. Trevon's positive attitude makes our classroom feel much more like a community and this positivity makes our classroom a welcoming place to be! Trevon has shown growth in his engagement. He has worked hard recently to raise his grades.


Brooklyn N. - Brooklyn shows up everyday and contributes positively to our Everitt community. She is a shining star in our building.


Corrine M. - Corrine, I can't stop thinking about your powerful performance at Seussical. You brought so much to the stage, making the audience laugh and elevating our show with your quirky character. I am so happy you joined musical theater because you have brought in so much light and joyful spirit with you!


Anakin N. - AJ has been working really hard on a skill for 2 years with me. He's finally starting to break through and be able to accomplish this skill!


Placido L. - Placido demonstrates grit and resiliency in our pollinator habitat project to find design solutions for his project.


Anthony B. - Tony absolutely crushed his Spring ELA MAP test! His growth was through the roof!


Adele V. - You bring so much joy to the musical theater room. I love your spirit and amazing characters you have developed throughout the year. I was blown away at your character development of Thing 1! You made the audience laugh and truly made those transitions fun and smooth with your humorous role and joyful spirit. I am so happy to have you in this classroom!


Marli C. - Marli worked so hard on ELA spring MAP testing and crushed her goal!


Ruby B. - Ruby is taking chances that are outside the comfort zone.


Lillie P. - Lillie is always willing to help clean up around the school when there is trash in the halls. She comes to school every day with a smile and hugs for me. I will surely miss her next school year.


Khloe A. - Khloe made amazing growth on her Reading this year. She really worked and went above expectations, showing that a growth mindset really works.


Lawerence G. - LG has worked so hard this year to keep his grades up and make real progress academically. He is demonstrating great scholarly habits to his peers and his growth in reading shows that it is paying off. Great job!


Robert R. - I have really enjoyed watching the hard work and passion Bobby has put into playing the ukulele. He works so hard to make sure he has the correct technique and sound. The growth from the beginning of the semester has been tremendous and I am so grateful that he takes feedback so well.


Austin G. - Austin worked hard on his ELA spring MAP test and he crushed his goal!


Elliott H. - Elliott not only composed a remarkable piece for our ukulele class but he has generated passion and interest from others to play his composition. He has coached others to play his piece, where they too, have learned new chords and techniques to play on the ukulele. I love Elliott's creativity, musicianship and hard work I see weaved throughout all of this performance arts classes! We are so lucky to have him at Everitt!


Evan D. - Evan is always working hard in ukulele class and demonstrating respect for all. He joined a small group of musicians who will perform an original piece at our concert. Alongside his group, he has worked hard to make sure the sound is steady, clear and interesting. I am grateful for Evan's kindness and hard work everyday in class.
