Kendallvue Community Newsletter

Dear Kendallvue Families,

It was nice to have a little taste of fall this week! It has been a great start to the year and now that we are in September, we have hit our full stride. Next week is the real test with our first five day week!

I would like to stress the importance of attendance this week. September is Attendance Awareness Month. Woody Allen once said, “90% of my success is simply showing up.” I know I have used this quote in the past, but it always rings true when discussing attendance. Kendallvue is dedicated to providing extraordinary student experiences by making student attendance a priority. This also includes arriving to school on time. Our bell rings at 8:00 and students are expected to be in the classroom and ready to learn at 8:05am. Please help us create a comfortable start to their day by arriving on time. We appreciate your help in this matter.

We have a lot going on at Kendallvue next week. Our School Accountability Committee (SAC) and PTA meet on Tuesday. School pictures are on Wednesday, and Field Day is on Friday. If you are curious about exploring more details regarding our test scores and day to day instructional focus (i.e. our improvement plan) or our budget process, please come to the SAC meeting at 5:00pm. This is a great way to see more of how the school runs on a day to day basis. Getting our community feedback on our structures within school is incredibly important for our success and accountability. The PTA meeting will follow the SAC meeting at 6:00pm. This meeting we will discuss our upcoming fundraiser on October 4, 2024 and other important school wide and community events. These are great ways to get involved and help steer the direction of our school.

There is more information about these topics in this weekly newsletter. Also, make sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Thank you for your support of our school! We truly value our partnership in helping make Kendallvue the best school in Jeffco!

Have a great weekend!

Cheers,

Bruce Lindsey

• The Campus Parent Absence Request tool is a function within Infinite Campus that parents can use to report same day or upcoming absences with ease.

For any early release appointments, we prefer that you call the school at 303 982 7990 so that we can easily send a pass for your student.

Supporting Social-Emotional Learning at Home

Looking to engage parents and caregivers in supporting students’ social and emotional well-being at home?
