GREGORY HILL NEWSLETTER

Hello ELC Families,

Happy spring! I hope everyone enjoyed a relaxing and fun spring break. With the support of our amazing parents, we have survived the first 3 quarters of the school year. The last quarter will be a very busy one with lots of fun events.

We are excited for our last field trip of the year to the zoo. Please make sure you arrive at school with a sack lunch for yourself and your child on the day of the field trip. We would also like to invite you to our fun day on May 22nd and Graduation on May 23rd. More information to come in the May newsletter.

The second week of May is teacher appreciation week and we need your help to thank our teachers for their hard work. We would like to provide a potluck lunch for the staff on Friday, May 9th. If you would like to participate, please drop off food in the office by 12:00.

Thank you to the families that were able to join us at our parent teacher conferences. We would love your feedback on the information that you received and how we can improve this process. Please take a few minutes to complete this parent survey https://surveys.panoramaed.com/westminster/HRS-4-Family/surveys/v2/335366909?language=en

Kids First Health Care here at Gregory Hill offers well child care including physicals, call to make an appointment at (303) 428-4384. We accept Medicaid, CHP+, most private insurances, and uninsured patients.

Although some absences are unavoidable, it is important that students attend school as often as possible. Preschool is a great time to start building a habit of good attendance. Please note that we are allowing days for students to be absent for illness and do not want families to send children to school sick. Students are asked to stay home if they are experiencing any cold/flu like symptoms.
