Note From Principal Atkins
Families,
The clock is winding down quickly as we enter the final two weeks of school, with a late snowstorm no less!
I sent an email earlier this week detailing information about the next school year. Please make sure you read it so you can see our no-school dates for next year along with other helpful information.
We've received questions about student Chromebooks. DPS would like all students returning to a DPS school next year to KEEP their Chromebooks with them this summer. If you are moving out of DPS next year, you will check it back into us in a few weeks.
Thank you to our staff and families for wishing me a happy birthday yesterday. There is nothing better than feeling the love of this community.
Please continue to read through the entire newsletter to make sure you don't miss any important information or resources, including summer camp opportunities here at Stedman. I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend - stay warm out there. Love you all to life!
Michael Atkins

Nota del Sr. Atkins
Familias,
¡El reloj se está acabando rápidamente a medida que entramos en las últimas dos semanas de clases, enfrentando una tormenta de nieve nada menos!
Envié un correo electrónico a principios de esta semana detallando información sobre el próximo año escolar. Asegúrese de leerlo para que pueda ver nuestras fechas sin clases para el próximo año junto con otra información útil.
Hemos recibido preguntas sobre los Chromebooks de los estudiantes. A DPS le gustaría que todos los estudiantes que regresen a una escuela de DPS el próximo año MANTENGAN sus Chromebooks con ellos este verano. Si se va a mudar de DPS el próximo año, nos lo devolverá en unas pocas semanas.
Gracias a nuestro personal y familias por desearme un feliz cumpleaños ayer. No hay nada mejor que sentir el amor de esta comunidad.
Continúe leyendo todo el boletín para asegurarse de no perderse ninguna información o recurso importante. Espero que todos tengan un maravilloso fin de semana, manténganse abrigados. ¡Los amo a todos de por vida!
Michael Atkins

School Supply Packages Available For Purchase |
|
This year (for the ’22/’23 School Year), we are trying out a new – optional – program where families can purchase a school supply box that has been specifically put together for each grade level. This is completely optional and purchased through an outside organization. Families are still welcome to purchase their own items from the supply list below corresponding to their child’s grade level (lists are posted HERE). However, if you are interested in purchasing a pre-made school supply box, orders must be placed before June 12. See below for more information on how to do that.
Este año (para el año escolar ’22/’23), estamos probando un programa nuevo, opcional, donde las familias pueden comprar una caja de útiles escolares que ha sido preparada específicamente para cada nivel de grado. Esto es completamente opcional y se compra a través de una organización externa. Las familias aún pueden comprar sus propios artículos de la lista de suministros a continuación correspondiente al nivel de grado de su hijo. Sin embargo, si está interesado en comprar una caja de útiles escolares prefabricada, los pedidos deben realizarse antes del 12 de junio.

Summer Camp Opportunities at Stedman |

Inclusion Corner
June is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Pride Month (LGBTQ+ Pride Month)! We hope you are able to take some time to learn about and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community as we grow into a more inclusive and equitable community.
Talking to your kids about Pride Month resources are here, here, and here.

Park Hill Neighbors for Equity in Education (PHNEE) is a group of engaged parents and community members working to ensure that all students attending our neighborhood’s elementary schools get a quality education. We host a community event virtually on the second Wednesday of each month to share ideas, hear from experts, and build a community of support for diversity, equity, and inclusion in our schools. Join us for this free monthly event on Wednesday, May 11 at 7:00 p.m. Colorado State Board of Education member Lisa Escarcega will be joining us. Register here. No ongoing commitment is required. To learn more about PHNEE, check out our monthly newsletter here.
PHNEE is also excited to announce the second annual Summer Passport Program! This project provides a way for families to learn more about the Greater Park Hill neighborhood and its rich history through a FREE, fun, family-friendly, COVID safe activity for kids, parents, grandparents, and community members.
It’s easy to participate! You can sign up here or scan the QR code above and we will send you a passport as soon as they are available. On the passport, you will find a map of key landmarks in GPH and activities that can be accomplished at each location. The map includes every elementary school and library in our neighborhood as well as a number of local businesses. Pick a location, walk, bike, or scoot on over, and perform the activity described on the passport or get a small prize from a participating business. You can then “stamp” your passport and move on to the next stop.
The project runs from June 4 - August 15 so you have plenty of time to get to each stop. When you have completed the passport you can take a picture of it and email it to info@phnee.org or drop it off at the PHNEE office at 1961 Holly St. If you visit all 5 schools, both libraries, and at least 3 businesses you will be entered into a drawing for Grand Prizes including tickets to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, gift certificates from Sexy Pizza and School of Breaking, a day pass to Elitch’s and much more!

COVID Vaccines for Ages 5+
Children age 5 years and older can get a COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccines are the strongest layer of protection we can offer children against COVID-19. This fall, COVID-19 rates have been higher in school-aged children than adults. While fewer children get severely ill with COVID-19 than adults, they still can get sick with the virus and spread it to other people. Some get sick enough to need hospitalization. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine can help your child stay healthy, keep them in school, and protect your family and community.
Click HERE to learn more and find locations or upcoming vaccine clinics.
***
Los niños de 5 años en adelante pueden recibir la vacuna COVID-19. Las vacunas son la capa de protección más fuerte que podemos ofrecer a los niños contra el COVID-19. Este otoño, las tasas de COVID-19 han sido más altas en niños en edad escolar que en adultos. Si bien menos niños que adultos se enferman gravemente con COVID-19, aún pueden enfermarse con el virus y contagiarlo a otras personas. Algunos se enferman lo suficiente como para necesitar hospitalización. Recibir una vacuna COVID-19 puede ayudar a su hijo a mantenerse saludable, mantenerlo en la escuela y proteger a su familia y comunidad.

Mental Health Resources For Families of Color |
|
Our Colorado based model of culturally-centered and responsive care promotes individual and communal resiliency. By crossing racial, ethnic, and cultural barriers we work more intentionally to connect and remove any bias that is prohibitive of the healing process of mental health care. This groundbreaking work has forged a portal of access for the community that is responsive, representative, trauma-informed, and delivered with compassion to advance mental health equity in communities of color.
