Note From Principal Atkins
Families,
We're in the final stretch as we enter the long Memorial Day weekend. I hope many of us are fortunate enough to have plans for some relaxation and time with loved ones.
As we clean up the school to prepare it for summer, we need to clear out our Lost & Found which grows by the day. Please look for tables with Lost & Found items next week during pick ups. Items left by Friday will be donated.
A reminder that all students remaining at a DPS school next year will be KEEPING their Chromebooks over the summer. If you do not plan to be in DPS next year, your child turn his/her Chromebook in next week.
Don't forget that next Friday is our last day of school! We will dismiss at 1pm, and we invited grown-ups to join us at 12:30pm on the playground for a Book Grab/Swap and some hot dogs. See below for more information.
If you are interested in ordering the pre-packaged school supplies, remember that the deadline is June 12th. See below for more information on how to order.
Please continue to read through the entire newsletter to make sure you don't miss any important information or resources. 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,
Estamos en la recta final al entrar en el largo fin de semana del Día de los Caídos. Espero que muchos de nosotros tengamos la suerte de tener planes para relajarnos y pasar tiempo con nuestros seres queridos.
A medida que limpiamos la escuela para prepararla para el verano, debemos limpiar nuestros objetos perdidos que crecen día a día. Busque mesas con artículos perdidos y encontrados la próxima semana durante las recogidas. Los artículos que queden hasta el viernes serán donados.
Un recordatorio de que todos los estudiantes que permanezcan en una escuela de DPS el próximo año CONSERVARÁN sus Chromebooks durante el verano. Si no planea estar en DPS el próximo año, su hijo debe entregar su Chromebook la próxima semana.
¡No olvides que el próximo viernes es nuestro último día de clases! Saldremos a la 1:00 p. m. e invitamos a los adultos a unirse a nosotros a las 12:30 p. m. en el patio de recreo para tomar/intercambiar libros y algunos perros calientes. Vea abajo para más información.
Si estás interesado en pedir los útiles escolares preempacados, recuerda que la fecha límite es el 12 de junio. Consulte a continuación para obtener más información sobre cómo realizar un pedido.
Continúe leyendo todo el boletín para asegurarse de no perderse ninguna información o recurso importante. Espero que todos estén teniendo un fin de semana maravilloso, 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.

Park Hill Neighbors for Equity in Education (PHNEE) is ready to launch 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! For more information and to download a passport, click HERE. You can also pick up passports from the office or the locations listed below. 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 program 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! You can pick up passports NOW at: City Donuts, Park Hill Community Bookstore, Sexy Pizza, My King's, DANG, Esther's, Art Garage, Mighty Movement, Nestman Orthodontics, Pauline Robinson Library, and Park Hill Library. If passports run out at these locations, after June 4, you can pick one up at the PHNEE office at 1961 Holly Street. WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!

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.

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.
