La lectura comienza desde el nacimiento, y disponer de una biblioteca en casa ofrece beneficios que van mucho más allá de la mera lectura. Las investigaciones demuestran que leer en casa fomenta el amor por los libros, prepara a los niños para el infantil y mejora la inteligencia social y emocional.

Hello Spark! Discovery Preschool families: Here are some FAQ’s about the General Health Appraisal. If you receive a letter regarding the form, this could be a notice that it is OR will be expiring soon.
FAQs:
~ I turned that in at the beginning of the year. Can you check and make sure you have it?
In the letter that you received from me, at the bottom of the page, there is a box with information. I will indicate in that box if it is expired, will be expiring, or if I do not have it at all. There are also dates written for when the form will be expiring or has expired.
~I sent that to the doctor and turned it in this year. I saw that it was signed by the doctor in August, so why am I getting this again?
The form is valid for 1 calendar year from the date of the last exam. In the center of the form, where the physician fills out information, a date is written for the last exam. The expiration is 1 year from that date. Please note that it is valid for 1 calendar year and not for the school year.
~I can’t get an appointment for another month or 2 because that is my student’s birthday and insurance/ or the doctor won’t make the appointment until then. Is that ok?
We completely understand how insurance companies and annual exams are scheduled and dictated based on the last exam. We try to get notices out with time to schedule before the form expires because I also understand doctor offices (and life in general) can get busy.
~ I already got this form and I have an appointment scheduled, why did I get another one?
Please give me a call or send me an email with the date of the appointment so that I can make note of it and save sending you another form at 720-652-7906.
Give me a call or email me with any questions or concerns you may have
Amanda Rivera, rivera_amanda@svvsd.org or at 720-6582-7906.

Un mensaje de nuestra supervisora del campus, Kara Mahan
It might feel like spring outside, but did you know that March is typically Colorado’s snowiest month! Our weather patterns will vary regularly and rapidly over the next few weeks and even months. It is important that your children are dressed and prepared for these unpredictable changes. Dressing your child in play friendly and independently manageable clothing is preferred for school. Shoes and clothing should also be properly sized for maximum gross motor enjoyment. Additionally, please take a moment to check the extra set of clothing items in your child’s backpack to ensure that they are still meeting these criteria as well. If there are any safety concerns, please contact, Kara Mahan, mahan_kara@svvsd.org or at 720-652-7906.
