It's Cold Outside!
The seasons seem to randomly change in Colorado. This is a friendly reminder that some days it seems like winter is here. Be sure to send your child(ren) to school with appropriate clothing attire. If it's safe, sometimes students will still be outside in the rain or snow. While we're talking about it, it's helpful for students of all grade levels to have a change of clothes at school.
Chaperone Field Trips
We love parents chaperoning field trips. Your kids love it and it increases student safety with smaller groups. If you think you might be interested chaperoning a trip, go ahead and get started with the DPS required background check. If you have any questions, contact Gabbi Rodriguez, Front Office at gabriella_rodriguez@dpsk12.net.
Complete DPS’ application for a background check.
Complete the Volunteer Confidentiality Agreement form at the main office.
Early Dismissal (Early Pick Up)
We respectfully remind parents to refrain from picking students up between 2:10pm-2:40pm. Teachers are wrapping up the day with students, it is a particularly active transition for students as they prepare to go home, and it is disruptive to the class and teacher to have students leaving shortly before the end of school.
Community Service Opportunity
This year, Inspire and DGS-Northfield are working together to care for our community. We will be creating fall break baskets for our families who could use our help to fill their table and stock their pantries. We will be collecting items specific to each grade level and have additional items that can be purchased. Starting 11/6 through 11/15, students can bring the following to school:
- ECE: 1 bag of rice per student
- Kinder: 1 can of corn and 1 can of green beans per student
- 1st Grade: 1 canned sweet potatoes/yams
- 2nd Grade: (Corley/Fargason) 1 can of cranberry sauce, (Schuler/Equihua) 1 can of collard greens
- 3rd Grade: (Nigohosian/Edstrom) 1 box of potatoes, (Hattaway/Ullman) 1 gravy packet
- 4th Grade: (Soifer/Ferro) 1 boxed stuffing, (Green/Gutierrez) 1 box cake or cookie mix
- 5th Grade: (Bergner) vegetable stock, (Barros) Jiffy cornbread, (Leonard) dry beans (example pinto or black eye peas), (Falcone) powdered lemonade packets.
We also need help with purchasing $25 gift cards and the laundry baskets (with handles) for rounding out the Thanksgiving meal (turkey, ham, pie, etc.), buying perishables to include in the baskets, and making the baskets once we have the materials. Please sign up to help in these ways if you can! You can sign up here. Questions? Contact grace_phillips@dpsk12.net or katherine_corley@dpsk12.net.
