Administrator's Corner

Hello TJ,
 
Today - Monday - students can begin to do their Choice of Studies for their classes for the 21-22 school year!
 
How it will work: Students must attend all of their classes today. In class their teacher will show a video that each department put together to briefly outline the classes that kids can select. Students will have an opportunity to ask their teacher about which class they believe is the right one for them for next year during this time as well. Students will then go into IC and pick their classes for next year.
 
Students - did you know that you can change your password? THIS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! It's pretty simple. Go to changepassword.dpsk12.org - all you need to know is your current password. Go in, change it, remember it, and keep your online self safe!
 
Finally, I want to thank Imani Morning, Deborah Saint-Phard, Eric Moore, and Corrie Taylor for coming to our Black Parent Caucus meeting this week. We had a very rich and candid conversation on ways we can improve the experience at school for our black students. If you are interested in attending our next meeting on April 7th meeting from 6-7, please let us know so we can send you the details by filling out this short form.
 
Thank you, and have a great week!

Hola TJ,

Today - Lunes - los estudiantes pueden comenzar a hacer su elección de estudios para sus clases para el año escolar 21-22!

Cómo funcionará: Los estudiantes deben asistir a todas sus clases hoy. En la clase, su maestro mostrará un video que cada departamento reunió para describir brevemente las clases que los niños pueden seleccionar. Los estudiantes tendrán la oportunidad de preguntar a su maestro sobre qué clase creen que es la correcta para ellos para el próximo año también durante este tiempo. Los estudiantes entonces irán a IC y escogen sus clases para el próximo año.

Estudiantes - ¿Sabías que puedes cambiar tu contraseña? ¡ESTO ES MUY RECOMENDABLE! Es bastante simple. Vaya a changepassword.dpsk12.org - todo lo que necesita saber es su contraseña actual. ¡entra, cambia, recuerda, y mantén tu seguridad en línea!

Finalmente, quiero agradecer a Imani Morning, Deborah Saint-Phard, Eric Moore, y Corrie Taylor por venir a nuestra reunión de padres negros esta semana. Tuvimos una conversación muy rica y sincera sobre las maneras en que podemos mejorar la experiencia en la escuela para nuestros estudiantes negros. Si usted está interesado en asistir a nuestra próxima reunión el 7th de abril reunión del 6-7, por favor háganoslo saber para que podamos enviarle los detalles llenando este breve formulario.

¡ Gracias, y que tengan una gran semana!

Correction: 

In last week's newsletter we thanked 
PTO for this amazing portable presentation screen! We would like to clarify that this was actually a gift from the class of 2020. 

 


 

Parents and students 

of the class of 2020:

thank you! 


 

We are hoping to use it for some student activities as soon as possible.


Thanks to MI Special Education Teacher
Stephanie Sturm for helping TJ become a Unified School with Special Olympics Colorado!  One thing we can take part in as a Unified School is something called an Inclusion Campaign.  

This campaign connects with schools to help support students with Intellectual Disabilities.  They ask schools to support, the Special Education Programs through Inclusion to allow the best learning environment for all students. Last week students and teachers signed a poster (and wore their new shirts) to say they support inclusion at TJ. 


Thomas Jefferson  DECA Recognized for ACHIEVEMENT Level Chapter Campaigns
Thomas Jefferson DECA was among 238 chapters who achieved ACHIEVEMENT level recognition this year and will be commended with a certificate and pennant from DECA Inc. Each fall, DECA offers four campaigns for chapters to complete and develop a program of work for the year. These campaigns are designed to grow membership engagement and build lasting partnerships within the school and local community. 

Chapters who achieve ACHIEVEMENT level need to complete one out of three chapter campaigns including the Global Entrepreneurship campaign, Promotional campaign and Community Service campaign - or the chapter must have had 20 professional and alumni members or 20 more members from the previous school year. 

Thomas Jefferson DECA Recognized for 10/10/10 Initiative Campaign
Thomas Jefferson DECA was awarded the District 3 winner for "Most Food Collected" this year in the 10/10/10 Initiative. The 10/10/10 Initiative is an annual event where each DECA District is charged with the goal of collecting $10,000.00 in charitable donations, 10,000 hours of Community Service Hours, and 10,000 lbs. of Food Donations. 
District 3 is comprised of the following schools: Denver East, Cherry Creek Innovation Campus, Grandview, Green Mountain, John F. Kennedy, Overland, Pomona, Ralston Valley, Thomas Jefferson, T. H. Pickens, Vista Peak Prep, & Ralston Valley.

Thomas Jefferson Individual Results from the 2021 DECA State Virtual Career Development Conference
In response to the current pandemic situations, DECA held it's annual State Conference virtually this year for the safety of its members. With that being said, Thomas Jefferson DECA Members stepped up and competed in a way never before seen by anyone...EVER! Students were given a 100 question multiple choice exam & a predetermined role play where competitors had to record their responses and submit for evaluation. 
In total, TJ DECA had 30 competitors participate in the virtual event. Students that placed in their event qualified for this year's International Career Development Conference (ICDC) and will compete against more than 15,000 students from around the world! 

The following students were recognized for their achievements at the 2021 State DECA Conference:
* Outgoing District 3 State Officer - Alice Larm
* NEW 2021-2022 District 3 State Officer - Katherine Little

PTO News
Last Call for "Curb Appeal Committee" Volunteers! The PTO is looking for parents who are interested in brainstorming ideas for freshening up the TJ front entrance area to make it more attractive and usable for both students and visitors. Some ideas include using more hardscape, new banners, art, sculptures, new concrete benches or other seating.
 
This is a temporary work group that will create a vision to share with school administrators. We've had 2 parent volunteers join, and we are seeking a few more participants to gather multiple perspectives. We'd love YOU to be part of this group! If you are interested, contact Eileen Robinson at tjhspto@gmail.com.
 
Emily Lupo, TJ's Dean of Culture, will be speaking at next Tuesday's TJ PTO
meeting at 7:00 pm on March 9th.
 Here are a few of the topics Ms. Lupo will address: 
 
  • What are Restorative Practices at TJ? This is an opportunity for parents to gain an understanding of what Restorative Practices are and what the Dean of Culture and Student Excellence Team does. 
 
  • The Dean of Culture is a new administrator position at TJ.  How did this role evolve?
 
  • Ms. Lupo will talk about the relationship with the Denver Police Department. Since DPS is ending its contract with DPD at the end of the school year, what does that mean for the TJ community?
 
There will be a brief PTO business meeting immediately following the discussion with Ms. Lupo. We will get an update on the auction and review our finances. We hope you can be there!
 
Classroom Grant Request Window is Open!  TJ PTO's primary mission is to enhance and support the educational experience at TJHS. With that goal in mind, PTO has budgeted $10,000 to distribute as Classroom Grants! This is made possible by the fundraising done through the PTO's online auction. Your support of the TJ Auction directly benefits ALL TJ students. Do you know a teacher or staff member who may have a need for grant money? It's time for any staff member to submit a request for a PTO Grant to help support students in whatever class or activity they lead. Last year, grants funded by the TJ Auction were used for equipment and supplies to support the departments of Special Ed, PE, CCT, Social Studies, Math, Foreign Languages as well as Speech and Debate, the Library and TJ's Social Work staff.
 
TJ Staff: Please submit grant requests using this Grant Request Form.  All requests are due by the end of the day on Friday, April 16th
 
Questions? Please contact TJ PTO at tjhspto@gmail.com.

5th Annual Thomas Jefferson High School Auction
The Auction is an opportunity to support TJ and will run April 11th  -  April 15th.  We acknowledge the impact that COVID has had on businesses, families, schools and students in the past year, and feel that now more than ever, we lean on each other for the support we all need to thrive during this time. We are working to gather donations and we strongly encourage our TJ families to support those businesses that support our school each year. Proceeds from this year's Auction will be dedicated to helping those in our TJ community, funding our Classroom Grant program and building improvements.

Any and all donations are appreciated...
  • Do you own a business that can donate goods or services?
  • Request a donation from the places you already know, love and frequent....they rarely say no to a donation for a public school! 
  • Reach out to businesses and request donations such as restaurant certificates, merchandise, vacation and travel opportunities, spa packages, professional services, and tickets to entertainment, cultural and sporting events. 
The TJHS 2021 Auction Letter provides additional information on the Auction and has the TJ Tax ID #, as donations to TJ are tax-deductible.  This can be given to businesses when requesting a donation. Donation information can be submitted directly into the Auction system here: https://tjhs.ptapal.com.

Food and Nutrition Services
The FNS (Food and Nutrition Services) team had a meeting this morning with folks from the Colorado Food Cluster (CFC).  CFC has launched a new initiative to deliver 7-day meal boxes with (7) suppers and (7) snacks to families in Denver.  They are currently working with various charter schools, but they have the capacity to expand to other DPS schools.  
 
FNS is not "involved" with this effort as we are not the vendor providing the suppers/snacks.  However CFC is working directly with DPS schools to sign up families at no charge.  The meals are available for kids ages 6-18 years old.  Below is the sign up form and is available in English and Spanish.

GT Corner


In an effort to provide GT students and their families with the resources and supports needed to begin/complete their Advanced Learning Plan (ALP), the TJHS GT Site Team has created a Google Classroom for each GT grade level.  The title and code for each grade level is listed below:
 
TJHS Gifted and Talented 2024 Cohort - doyqstu
TJHS Gifted and Talented 2023 Cohort - b7vpvfn
TJHS Gifted and Talented 2022 Cohort - orzg7to
TJHS Gifted and Talented 2021 Cohort - by7mjwi
 
The TJHS GT Site Team, working alongside our District GT Partners, has included resources, websites and documents to help you complete your ALP goals.  Keep in mind that there are affective as well as academic goals.  At this time, students should only focus on the Goals / Advanced Learning Plan section and not worry about the badges right now.  We don't want you to get in there and feel overwhelmed.
 
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Ms. Tate, our Dean Instruction and GT Point of Contact at adria_tate@dpsk12.org

Our District GT Partner is Brian Beard, brian_beard@dpsk12.org, and you may receive GT newsletters from his office with internship and university opportunities. 
Mental Health and Social/Emotional Tips
Did You Know...? 
Spring is almost here- let's start the cleaning! 
It is that time of the year that some people look forward to- opening the windows, deep-cleaning the house, getting rid of old items they no longer need; others may wince at the thought of going through closets, drawers, cabinets and feeling pressured to make the "to get rid of this, or to keep it?" decision. Though it can be difficult, time consuming and possibly argument-invoking, it can be important for your physical and mental health. Let's find out how! 
What can "Spring Cleaning" do for me?
  • By making the effort to de-clutter areas, you can actually increase your productivity! Cleaning off your kitchen table, work-space, entry table, etc. can help support a more organized approach to work and facilitate ease with completing tasks. Plus, it may look nicer and more welcoming to guests and visitors in the home.
  • Spring cleaning can benefit your physical health! Do you ever think about the amount of dust and dirt that build up within the house? Cleaning your living space can help with asthma and allergies.
  • People who have a clean and tidy home are happier. Hello strong mental health! Cleaning your space can provide a sense of accomplishment, pride and satisfaction. And perhaps decrease conflict with family members, roommates, etc.
  • Regularly cleaning and de-cluttering can help increase focus and decision making! By removing obstacles (which are often the physical presence of stuff) from your space, you now can focus on problem solving and decision making.
  • You can give back to your community. All those un-used items can be donated to charities for people and families in need.  Or you can plan a garage sale with your neighbors and use the collected money to do something nice for the neighborhood or community (basketball hoop on the street, plants for some homes, donate to a local foodbank, etc.)

 

Great, so where do I start?

1. Each weekend during the month of March, pick 1-2 rooms/spaces in your home you will tackle.
2. Enlist family members to help- it is everyone's stuff! 
3. Get a box and label "donations," and place all items you no longer need in the box
4. Immediately after completing the area/room, take that box to a donation center! (get it out of your home before you find a "reason" to keep any of the items you know you don't really need! :) 
Now, put on some tunes, a podcast, whatever, and get cleaning!
