Principal's Message
Dear PK8 Families,
We are over halfway finished with third quarter, and approaching Winter Vacation next week! It is hard to believe that the school year is flying by so quickly!
During these dreary, dark, snowy winter days, there's nothing better to do with your child than to sit down and enjoy some good reading time together. I encourage you to guide your student towards reading a book, write in a journal, working on artwork, or getting exercise, rather than playing a video game when they have down time. Supporting good habits at home, helps promote good habits at school as well. Providing children with a quite environment away from the temptations of TV, video games, or cell phones develops the capacity to focus on schoolwork and other activities more efficiently.
Thank you!

Friday Teacher Snack Sign-Ups

STUDENT MEDICATION REMINDER
If your student needs to take any over-the-counter or prescription medication during school hours, Colorado law requires a written order from the student’s primary care provider. Upon receipt of the order, the parent/guardian is then responsible for providing and delivering the medication to the school. Students may not transport their own medication to/from school.
I can help you with this process! Please contact me, Lorie Spencer, District RN, at lorie.spencer@deltaschools.com or 970-874-7607.
