Dear Penrose Families,
Well, we made it to spring, finally! This month, we have a lot going on from spring break, to hippity-hop activities for our hop-a-thon, Kona Ice day, Academic Awards, Parent/Teacher Conferences, and CMAS testing. How much more can we fit into one month? The good thing about Penrose Elementary School is, we never give up, we challenge ourselves to be our BEST selves every day, and most importantly, we believe in ourselves. As you read the newsletter below, you will find information about all of these activities that will be happening this month.
Sincerely,
Sheryl Gifford-Principal

Hop-a-Thon Fundraiser
February 12th-March 4th, 2024
Hop-a-Thon on March 7th, 2024
This event allows our students to raise money for their school without selling merchandise, while promoting wellness and fitness. 100% of the money collected will go directly to Penrose Elementary to help fund field trips, school shirts, and other student activities.
Funds raised should be turned into the teacher on Monday, March 4, 2024. Donations are tax Deductible! Students will participate in hop ball activities during the school day on March 7th. For every $25 raised, students will receive a ticket with their name on it. Each ticket will go in a prize drawing for a hop ball. The more money they raise, the more tickets they earn!
Students who raise $50 or more will receive a free Kona Ice at school on Kona Ice Day, March 20th. This is a flat donation event.

The Colorado Measures of Academic Success, or CMAS, is the state summative assessment for language arts, math, science and social studies. CMAS is aligned to the state’s rigorous academic standards and designed to gauge how well students are mastering the standards and are prepared for their next grade.
Why is CMAS Important?
CMAS results provide a picture of student performance to schools, districts, teachers, parents, and the community. Results show how students are progressing academically, which is a key component to ensuring students are on track to graduate prepared for college and career. Teachers use CMAS results to enhance instruction in order to meet individual student needs. Schools and districts use CMAS results to make adjustments to instructional programming for the following year.
CMAS Testing Window
