Note From Principal Atkins
Families,
Wishing you another happy Friday as we prepare to enter the weekend. Today is our first Early Release date of the year and students will be dismissed at 1pm. Please be sure to pick up your child on time as our staff goes directly into professional development time for the remainder of the day. View the remaining Early Release dates here.
As the number of COVID-19 cases climb in Denver, it is extra important that we continue to practice precautions navigating daily life. Please remember to keep your child(ren) home if they are experiencing any signs of illness, and please contact the school if you know of a positive Covid exposure or test result in your family. We will then take the necessary steps to keep our community members safe.
I want to give a special thanks to Intuit and Be A Good Person, who spoiled our community this week with t-shirts and other items, along with a surprise donation towards a rock climbing wall for our school! Be A Good Person is an incredible, local, black-owned business doing great things globally, and we were honored to have them with us for a short time!
I hope you all have a restful weekend. I look forward to seeing you next week!
Sincerely,
Michael Atkins

Nota del Sr. Atkins
Familias
Te deseo otro feliz viernes mientras nos preparamos para entrar al fin de semana. Hoy es nuestra primera fecha de salida anticipada del año y los estudiantes saldrán a la 1 pm. Por favor asegúrese de recoger a su hijo a tiempo ya que nuestro personal pasa directamente al tiempo de desarrollo profesional por el resto del día. Vea las fechas restantes de lanzamiento anticipado aquí.
A medida que aumenta el número de casos de COVID-19 en Denver, es muy importante que sigamos tomando precauciones al navegar la vida diaria. Por favor recuerde mantener a su (s) hijo (s) en casa si experimentan algún signo de enfermedad, y comuníquese con la escuela si sabe de una exposición a Covid positiva o un resultado de prueba en su familia. Luego, tomaremos las medidas necesarias para mantener seguros a los miembros de nuestra comunidad.
¡Quiero agradecer especialmente a Intuit y Be A Good Person, quienes mimaron a nuestra comunidad esta semana con camisetas y otros artículos, junto con una donación sorpresa para un muro de escalada para nuestra escuela! Be A Good Person es una increíble empresa local, propiedad de negros que hace grandes cosas a nivel mundial, ¡y nos sentimos honrados de tenerlos con nosotros por un corto tiempo!
Espero que todos tengan un fin de semana de descanso. ¡Espero verte la próxima semana!
Atentamente,
Michael Atkins

Clothes To Kids of Denver (CTKD) provides FREE clothing to children and youth who are in need or in crisis. To shop, students must live in Metro Denver, be age 3 - 21 and be enrolled in school (remote or in-person) or working toward a GED.
Our wardrobe includes 5 outfits, 1 coat, 1 pair of shoes, 1 bra (optional) and 5 pairs each of new underwear and new socks. Students are invited to select clothing in a welcoming, store-like setting or can order a wardrobe for contactless curbside pick-up.
***
We are very excited to have in person shoppers in our store and are taking extra precautions to protect the health and safety of our visitors, volunteers and staff.
***
For families who would prefer a contactless option, we are continuing to offer wardrobes via Curbside Service. This option enables parents and caregivers to request a wardrobe for any student in need, and our staff will shop on their behalf.
Families wishing to shop in person or request a wardrobe for pick-up should call us at 720-379-4630 or email us at appointment@clothestokidsdenver.org for an appointment. Up-to-date phone hours are on the Shop With Us page of our website.
No Referral Required! No matter how families choose to shop, we have temporarily loosened our referral requirements and are providing wardrobes to anyone who says the young people in their households are in need of our services, no questions asked.
Hours of Operation:
Tuesdays - Fridays 9:00 - 4:00
Saturdays 9:00 - 3:00
Sundays & Mondays Closed
Donations Accepted:
Fridays & Saturdays 9:00 - 3:00
We are now accepting clothing and shoe donations on Fridays and Saturdays only between 9:00 and 3:00. We are in need of the basic wardrobe staples (shorts, pants, tops, shoes, etc.). We still cannot accept "extras" at this time.
Donating is Easy!
Gather your clean and ready-to-wear items. Check our updated Donation Guidelines for ideas. Please sort items by category (girls, boys, young women, young men and shoes) to save time at drop-off.
· When you arrive, pull into our loading zone and wait in your car until any staff members or other donors are at a safe distance.
· Empty your donations into one of our rolling bins located outside of our door.
· Please do not leave donations inside of plastic bags. Place your donations in our bins and take your bags with you to reuse.
