Happy Friday, Everitt families!

What a week! Our music department presented an amazing concert on Tuesday night. Our students are so talented and hard working. On Wednesday, our superintendent and cabinet visited our school along with all of the Wheat Ridge area principals. It was so fun to see our students catching up with their principals. The group was so impressed with our students -- how collaboratively they work together and how kind they were to each other. On Wednesday evening, we had our first information night of the year. Families spent the evening getting to know our teachers and doing activities in classrooms. Thank you to our parent panel, our amazing student council students, and our staff for a wonderful night. Our next information night will be on November 29th. Speaking of student council, they ran a wonderful and energetic spirit week all week and spirit assembly today. Our Penny Competition yielded more than $1000! While 7th grade won the spirit competition this week, 6th and 8th grade definitely gave them a run for their money. Below you can find some photos of our assembly. Special thanks to Wheat Ridge High School's student council, football, softball, and volleyball teams, band, cheers, and pom-poms for coming to lead our assembly. Tonight the Farmers have their homecoming game. I hope some of you can make it to cheer them on. Our band students will be playing with their marching band, too.

Next week, we will have family/teacher conferences. On Tuesday night, we would like to welcome all students (and their families) whose last names begin with A-L and on Wednesday night students whose last names begin with M-Z. If that schedule does not work for your family, it is fine to come on the opposite night. We just try to keep the lines a little shorter by splitting it by alpha. When you arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday evening, you will find your child's teachers in various places throughout the building. English Language Arts will be in the cafeteria. Math will be in the library. Science, Social Studies, and Electives will be in the gym. Diverse Learners will be in the lobby. Our counselors can be found in the main hallway and will have your child's MAP data from the fall and their CMAS scores from the Spring to share with you. We look forward to meeting with you. Attending conferences sends a strong message to students about how much you value their education so thank you in advance for coming! Please bring your Everitt student with you so they can be part of the conversations.

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