Dear Hawks Community,

We have just a few reminders for you this week, and one request! If you and your Hawk are kitchen-savvy, DPS wants to hear from you: DPS is cooking up a surprise and they want your help! Read on for more information.

Stay warm out there and we'll see you on Monday!

Ms. D, Principal

“To teach in a manner that respects and cares for the souls of our students is essential if we are to provide the necessary conditions where learning can most deeply and intimately begin.”

Calling all Hawk chefs! If you have a favorite recipe that uses iconic Colorado foods or locally grown ingredients, share it with the DPS Communications team here (Google Form). In addition to the recipe, please add your contact information, so a member of their team can contact you if your recipe is selected for their upcoming surprise! 

Did you know? Too many absences in elementary school can cause children to struggle socially and academically. Even missing as little as 2 days per month can make it harder to learn to read and do basic math. Make sure your student is on time and present every single day so they can thrive at school! 

Next Friday, March 13, the Denver Public Schools Community Hubs will be hosting a job fair at Swansea Elementary School (4650 Columbine St, Denver CO 80216) from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. The job fair includes an interview and resume workshop, plus open time to meet with DPS recruiters and other employers from various industries. Bilingual candidates are encouraged to attend! Learn more and register here (Google Form).
