Who Can Apply: Parents and students currently enrolled in a K-12 school or graduated within the last 4 years.

The link updates each month so you can complete it when you are able to!

Field Day Information

Field Day is approaching soon on Wednesday, May 31, 2023! ECE, Kinder, 1st and MIA will begin their rotation of events around 9:45 and go to 11:45. The 2nd - 5th grade will participate in their events in the afternoon from 1:30- 3:30. To help navigate lunch schedules, we will be doing sack lunches for all classes.

Parents of Children with Medicaid/CHIP Insurance

Auto-renewal (pandemic protections) for your child’s insurance is ending. You may see it called “Medicaid unwinding,” but it basically means you’ll need to update your contact information so they can let you know when you need to renew your child’s insurance. A gap in insurance could be financially devastating to your family. Visit https://www.healthfirstcolorado.com/ to confirm or update your phone number, mailing address, email, or other contact information.  Families could be notified about their renewal paperwork at any point this year or early next year. DPS has a medicaid department who can help navigate if you have any questions or concerns. Their number is 720-423-3661.

Pre-order your 2023 school yearbook!

Once a family is enrolled — or accepted — into a DPS school, the next step is registering with their school. This is the annual process of providing and updating student and family information on file, including emergency contacts, health information and more.

Registration can be done online, or through the school in the fall. We recommend registering online because it’s convenient and saves time. Families can register online for the 2023-24 school year during one of two windows: The “Early Bird” window, May 8-19, or July 30 through your school’s specific deadline.



To register online, sign in to Parent Portal, click on “See All Apps,” then click on “Online Registration” to verify or update your student’s information. Online registration can only be completed by the parent/guardian listed in the primary household of the student record.

If you don’t have a Parent Portal account, please contact your school directly for registration information.

Community Events

PHNEE Update

News from PHNEE: After a 3 year hiatus due to COVID, we are happy to bring One Park Hill Day back to the neighborhood. The event is for all third graders in the Park Hill elementary schools and will include a performance and lessons from The School of Breaking along with some outdoor activities. This year's event will be on Tuesday May 30 at the Hiawatha Davis Recreation Center. We could still use help with the logistics and funding. Reach out to us at info@phnee.org if you can help, and consider a DONATION to cover the costs. Read the full April newsletter here.

Roundup River Ranch

As summer approaches and you are making your schedules, consider this free, short-term camp option at RoundUp River Ranch for your students with Asthma and a few other health conditions. See the flier for details.

We're So Glad You're Here

We know that students who attend school regularly experience greater academic success than students who do not have regular attendance. At Hallett we celebrate students who have excellent attendance by acknowledging them during community circle, going on field trips to Skate City at the end of each trimester, and providing an age-appropriate movie and snacks for our youngest learners. Students who meet our goal of 95% attendance (which means that students miss 1 day or less a month or are tardy less than 3 days a month) are eligible to participate in our celebratory activities.

Students who are absent 3 days or less, or tardy 9 days or less from March 6-May 12 will be eligible to participate in our celebratory activities.

We want your chid(ren) here at school everyday ready to learn, and when they are we will celebrate them!

Double Up Food Bucks!

The Kroger Family of Companies is committed to community engagement, positive social impact and charitable giving at the national and local levels. Every community is unique, but our common goal is to partner with the neighborhoods we serve and help the people there live healthier lives.

One of the ways in which we do this is through our King Soopers Community Rewards program. This program makes fundraising easy by donating to local organizations based on the shopping you do every day. Once you link your Card to an organization, all you have to do is shop at King Soopers and swipe your Shopper’s Card. Here’s how it works:

1. Create a digital account.

A digital account is needed to participate in King Soopers Community Rewards. If you already have a digital account, simply link your Shopper’s Card to your account so that all transactions apply toward the organization you choose.

2. Link your Card to an organization.

Selecting the organization that you wish to support is as simple as updating the King Soopers Community Rewards selection on your account.

1. Sign in to your account.

2. Search for your organization here.

3. Enter the name the organization you wish to support.

4. Select the appropriate organization from the list and click “Save”.

Your selected organization will also display in the King Soopers Community Rewards section of your account.

3. Your organization earns.

Any transactions moving forward using the Shopper’s Card number associated with your digital account will be applied to the program, at no added cost to you. King Soopers donates annually to participating organizations based on your percentage of spending as it relates to the total spending associated with all participating King Soopers Community Rewards organizations.

If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service Center.

Middle School Tours

It's that time of year! Our 5th Grade Families will begin touring Middle Schools, and McAuliffe is staring their tours soon. Families can sign up for a tour here. We will share information from other schools as it comes in!

Leave us a Review!

As we continue to grow our enrollment and spread the word about Hallett, we'd love for you to leave us a glowing review on either Google, Facebook, or GreatSchools. Thank you!
