Note From Principal Atkins
Families,
It's hard to believe that we have 3 weeks left of this school year! Everyone has worked so hard and pushed through to get us here, and we're grateful for each and every one of you.
It was another busy week, I hope you can watch the Stedman News for a peek into some of the fun. It is so nice to see the smiles and joy on our babies' faces.
Please Note: Don't forget that Early Bird Registration is now open, if you register before May 20, you won't have to this Fall! Every student returning to a DPS school has to complete registration every year. Why not knock it out now? See below for links and instruction.
Please continue to read through the entire newsletter to make sure you don't miss any important information or resources. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Love you all to life!
Michael Atkins

Nota del Sr. Atkins
Familias,
¡Es difícil creer que nos quedan 3 semanas de este año escolar! Todos han trabajado muy duro y empujado para traernos aquí, y estamos agradecidos por todos y cada uno de ustedes.
Fue otra semana ocupada, espero que puedan ver Stedman News para echar un vistazo a la diversión. Es tan agradable ver las sonrisas y la alegría en las caras de nuestros bebés.
Tenga en cuenta: ¡No olvide que la inscripción anticipada ya está abierta, si se registra antes del 20 de mayo, no tendrá que hacerlo este otoño! Todos los estudiantes que regresan a una escuela de DPS deben completar la inscripción todos los años. ¿Por qué no eliminarlo ahora? Consulte a continuación los enlaces y las instrucciones.
Continúe leyendo todo el boletín para asegurarse de no perderse ninguna información o recurso importante. Espero que todos tengan un maravilloso fin de semana. ¡Los amo a todos de por vida!

And while Cinco de Mayo is not a widely celebrated holiday in Mexico, we use this time to celebrate the beautiful heritage and culture of the nation. To learn more about the history of Cinco de Mayo, read here or here. Special thanks to Ms. Dafne, Ms. Deb, and the PTA for bringing this excellent experience to Stedman! View footage in today's Stedman News!

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!

EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION
Early Bird Registration is open May 2nd-20th this year. If your child is already a student in DPS, you can access registration through your Parent Portal. If your child will be NEW to DPS, we will be creating a household for you in our Infinite Campus records and you will be able to participate in our "Early Bird Registration" window opening May 2-20th. We will be sending you information with your student's new school ID to be able to create a parent portal account and complete the registration process. This process prevents you from spending excessive time this summer registering.
More information on HOW to register (detailed steps if you need them!) can be found HERE.

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.
