Happy October! As the leaves begin to change and we embrace the beauty of fall, I want to take a moment to reflect on the wonderful start we've had to the school year. Our students have settled in beautifully, and it’s heartwarming to see their enthusiasm for learning. We look forward to meeting with you during our upcoming conferences after fall break. This is a great opportunity to discuss your child’s progress and collaborate on their learning journey. Please sign up for a time that works for you. We will send this out next week.
Reminders:
- Please ensure your child comes to school with appropriate clothing for the changing weather.
- As we approach Halloween, please remember that costumes are not allowed during the school day, but we can't wait to see everyone at our annual Trunk or Treat on October 25.
- Please ensure your child is on time every day. We believe that attendance matters and so does every single minute your children are with us. If your child is out for more than 10 days you will be receiving a letter from CCSD.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education. Together, we can make this year a memorable and successful one!
Best,
Ashley Gray-Principal
Laurie Condon-Asst. Principal

It is hard to believe we have already been in school for over a month! As all the grade levels have worked through spatial awareness, body awareness, teamwork, and sportsmanship, we were all ready for our first sport – Volleyball! 1st – 5th Grade Students learned basic volleyball fundamentals and even got practice with the volleyball net up! Our next rotation will have us Hands Free as we work on soccer skills!
Kindergarten students are continuing to work on spatial and body awareness while also working on throwing and catching skills. I was told that one of the games that we were doing was similar to “Keepy Uppy” from Bluey! I went home feeling very hip and current with what is cool today! 😊
We will be moving on to a variety of games, be sure to ask your kindergartner what they played!
Just a friendly reminder that we will have Field Day in May. Mark your calendars for Friday, May 9, 20205! This fun-filled day is a student favorite and we LOVE to have lots of parent volunteers for it! There will be more information about this in 2025!
Thank you!

Hello and welcome from the Music classroom! I have loved being a new part of this wonderful community and getting to know your students in the classroom! This month I want to give you a taste of what music class looks like each day.
We start every class with a short get-to-know-you question to build connections and practice our music rules. After that we introduce or review our learning targets, discussing important vocabulary words or concepts. After that we spend the vast majority of our time practicing music skills and concepts through games, dancing, songs, and many other modes of exploration. We wrap up class with recognitions of students who have contributed to the music class culture goals of Growth and Respect.
During our current rotation, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades are practicing their music reading skills as well as their coordination through folk dancing. 2nd grade is also working on coordination in addition to rhythm writing and reading. 1st Grade is practicing rhythms, careful listening, and expressive music elements like fast/slow. Kinder is continuing to work on using their singing voices as well as moving their bodies like the music sounds.
I am still accepting students for choir club! Please email me at tjones12@cherrycreekschools.org if you’d like to join. We have plenty of time before any performances.
Please feel free to email me with questions or just to share stories about how your student remembers music class!

This round in STEM, 5th grade students will be creating roller coasters. Then they will use these creations to write a persuasive paragraph convincing their classmates why their roller coaster is the best. 4th grade students are creating playgrounds. Their structures must be to scale with a lego mini figure, must include structures that move, and must include a natural element. Finally, 2nd grade students are developing coding skills using Ozobots.

EVERY Wednesday... Dismiss at 1:45!
The last two years, 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.
