Dear Families: Here are some reminders for the next few weeks. Have a great weekend and GO BRONCOS!!!

LOST & FOUND

A reminder from Beverley in the front office that the Lost & Found located in the hallway across from the Computer Lab is overflowing. At the end of January, Beverley will take everything to a local charity for donation. Please stop by between now and January 29 to make sure that your kiddo has not left something behind at school.

MID-YEAR UPDATE WITH DR. GILE

This meeting, facilitated by Dr. Gile, is in follow up to the early December parent meeting with DPS’s Bill de la Cruz. There are two opportunities to participate in the High Tech Mid-Year Update:

• Thursday, February 4, from 6:30-8PM, childcare provided for children ages 3+
• Thursday, January 28, from 9-10AM, during Dr. Gile’s Monthly Parent Coffee (Please note, that this is a secondary meeting and will not include the full discussion and details of the primary meeting set for 2/4/16; this meeting this intended for those who cannot attend the evening event.)

During this event, parents and teachers will receive an update on our successes, initiatives, and the focus areas for growth for the remainder of the school year. You will learn more about…current assessment data, school performance ratings, school initiatives and grant opportunities, and plan for growth in student and teacher population. There will also be discussion about working together as a community to continue to collaboratively problem-solve how to create the school culture that we all envision for HTES.

HALL OF HEARTS

Information about this fun, community event where we get to fill our school halls with LOVE is coming home today. Each student will receive one Art Heart to decorate. Additional hearts can be purchased through the form that will be sent home with students. This is a really fun way to send special messages to friends, teachers and even brothers or sisters! Parents can send students a heart. Teachers can use the hearts to tell their class how proud of them they are. The possibilities are endless!

ANNUAL AUCTION

Please save the date of Saturday, April 9 for our annual auction. This is our largest fundraiser of the year and a ton of fun! This year’s event will be held at the Forney Museum of Transportation in Denver. You will receive a postcard in the mail shortly with information about purchasing tickets.

BOX TOPS

Download the collection sheet for January and turn your Box Tops in by the last school day of the month (January 29). The class with the most tops will win a free dress day in the beginning of February.
