February’s Mustang Meeting

Mark your calendars, students! Our next Mustang Meeting will be Thursday, February 26th. 

This month we are testing out a whole school assembly to have some fun and celebrate the awesomeness.

 

Spring Parent Teacher Conferences:

On February 27th from 8:00am - 11:30 (K-5) and 12:30-4:00pm (ECE) classroom teachers will be holding select parent teacher conferences. Please keep an eye out for parent communication from your child’s homeroom teacher with details. 

 

Schoolwide Systems Focus: Hallway Behavior:

Students from Kindergarten to 5th grade are focusing on improving our hallway behavior and expectations. At Cowell we follow H.A.L.L. with:

H - Hands Controlled

                A - All Eyes Forward

                L - Legs Under Control

                L - Lips Closed

 

ECE Pick-up Reminder:

This is a reminder that ECE dismissal is at 2:45 PM. This means you must be at your student’s designated dismissal door/area right at 2:45 PM.

At 2:55 PM, your child is considered late for pick-up. If you arrive at or after 2:55 PM, please stop by the main office, ring the doorbell, and let office staff know you are picking up an ECE student and provide the teacher’s name. You will then return to the designated pick-up area for your child’s class.

 

The Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales Library

Librarians Recommend: Hair Love by Matthew Cherry 

Zuri's hair lets her be herself. In rolls or curls it is changed into a princess's crown or a superhero's cape. But a super-special day requires a super-special hairstyle! Comb in hand, Dad helps Zuri find the perfect look. Hair Love celebrates the curls that are yours alone, the bond between fathers and daughters, and the joy that fills you when you can express yourself freely. This February, celebrate Black History Month with this sweet story full of Black joy and self-love. Check it out from the Denver Public Library today!
