Un mensaje de nuestra directora, Paige Gordon

Thank you to everyone who assisted with our Spark! PTO fundraiser! I know our PTO has already been putting funds to good use with our staff who wrote grants for innovative ideas and materials! Thanks to Ms. Danielle, Ms. Polly, Ms. Marie, Ms. Kiersten, Ms. Amy, and Ms. Miranda for submitting their ideas to the PTO. Tuesday, Nov 19, is fundraiser pick up day – at 11:10 am and 3:05 pm, and our PTO will have people in the cafeteria to help families get their items. They could use help at these times with volunteers — email them at [email protected] to help outside of classrooms.

Our school district will be sending information about Inclement Weather days the next few days. Please pay close attention to this message, as it highlights the schedules in the event of a two hour weather delay, inclement weather shortened on-line learning days, and communication processes our school district will use to communicate when the weather disrupts the normal school schedule. Parents and families can ensure they get accurate notifications regarding weather by making sure information is accurate in Infinite Campus. Read more here: https://www.svvsd.org/departments/communications/messenger-notification-system/.

Thank you to everyone who helped support our Trick or Treat Street through participation, volunteering, and donations! We had plenty of everything — families that attended with their children (we enjoyed seeing everyone’s costumes!), staff volunteers and their older kids who helped hand out treats, and because of the donations, we had plenty of items to give out to our families. Thank you for your generosity!

In looking toward the 2025 – 2026 school year, we learned that registration for Universal Preschool (UPK) begins Tuesday, December 17. As we learn more from our school district, we’ll share this information with our families, on our socials, and on our website.

Check out the information about the Carbon Valley Help Center. If families need assistance, they are open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and can be reached at 303-833-6626.

Spirit week is coming the week before the Thanksgiving break — look for a flyer in this week’s folder to check out the events / days for the week of Nov 18 – 21.

Atentamente, Paige Gordon, directora ([email protected])

Un mensaje de nuestra responsable de salud, Amanda Rivera [email protected]

Hello Spark families! Colorado seasons change quickly, and we are still very dry. For some children cold and dry weather makes eczema flare up. If a student is in need of anything to alleviate symptoms, like lotion or cream, please contact me before sending anything with the child. We need to have a specific form on file that must be signed by a physician before we can use anything at school; we can help get the forms completed to decrease symptoms. Please contact our health clerk Amanda Rivera ([email protected]) if there are any questions or concerns.

Un mensaje de nuestra responsable de asistencia y secretaria de matrícula, Amy Yáñez [email protected]

Happy November! If a child’s going to be late/absent for the day, calling in your child’s absences by 8 AM reduces the amount of time it takes for staff to call each family individually. 

As the holidays are quickly approaching. Please remember to let our attendance clerk, Amy Yanez, know so that the students attendance can get entered into Infinite Campus accurately. This helps us to account for 100% of our students each day.
