Message from Administration:

Hello Parents! Principal Melendez and Assistant Principal Udelhofen here. 

We are checking in to remind everyone that Attendance Matters. Just as an adult must notify their employer if they miss work to avoid missing key info or facing disciplinary action, students must be accounted for every day.

If your child is absent:

📞 Please call the Attendance Line at (720) 424-8300 every time they are missing.

💬 Provide a clear excuse for the absence.

Help us help your child succeed by keeping us in the loop! Thank you for your support. 🌟

Librarians Recommend: The Oldest Student: How Mary Walker Learned to Read 

In 1848, Mary Walker was born into slavery. At age 15, she was freed, and by age 20, she was married and had her first child. By age 68, she had worked numerous jobs, including cooking, cleaning, babysitting, and selling sandwiches to raise money for her church. At 114, she was the last remaining member of her family. And at 116, she learned to read. Read about Mary Walker’s incredible story of perseverance in Rita Lorainne Hubbard’s picture book, The Oldest Student: How Mary Walker Learned to Read. In this season of goals and aspirations for the new year, share a lesson that it’s never too late to achieve something you’ve always dreamed about. Check it out from the Denver Public Library today!
