Happy Friday PHE Families
In case you missed the email from our PTSA this week…the wait is finally over – the Auction Committee is thrilled to unveil this year’s theme! Ready to see what’s in store? Click Here!
As we approach Thanksgiving break I just want to share my personal thanks to our school community. We have an amazing PTSA that supports our students and teachers each and every day. We have parents that help out in classrooms and show up ready to help whenever our team has a request, and we have an amazing group of teachers and support staff that care about the success of our students.
Finally, after Thanksgiving break there will be opportunities for a gift card drive for Park Hill families. We will be collecting gift cards to King Soopers, Safeway, Walmart or Target to give to families in our community. All gifts and recipients will be anonymous. This is of course optional.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving break!
Ken Burdette, Principal
Thanksgiving Break - November 25-29
There is no school next week. Safe travels to all of those headed out of town and enjoy your breaks.

The Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) testing for Grades 3-5 is scheduled April 15-17 and April 22-24, 2025. Please try to ensure your student is present during these dates if possible. If you know of an absence during these dates, please let Ms Bixby know to help coordinate make-up dates. As a reminder, if you plan on opting-out your student from CMAS, please do so in the Parent Portal by February 1. Information on how to opt-out is contained in the guides below.
