Good Afternoon Dennison Families,


Happy Friday!  We had quite the spring teaser with the weather this week!  Thank you to everyone who attended parent teacher conferences this week.  We truly believe that a student’s success comes from the partnership between home and school and we appreciate your commitment to your child’s success.  

PANORAMA FAMILY SURVEY

IMPORTANT! Each year, Panorama Education conducts our annual family survey to provide us with benchmarking against national norms. We encourage you to complete this survey about your experience with your student(s) school and if you have multiple students at various schools, complete one for each student. In addition, if you have one or more students at the same school, please take the survey thinking about your oldest student enrolled. Be sure to select the submit button at the end of the survey so your responses are captured.

The survey is anonymous and will take around 15–20 minutes to complete. Results will be used to improve our district and your student(s) learning environment. 

The survey deadline has been extended, it now closes on Friday, March 8. Families can complete the survey at this link.

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback! Your voice is essential in identifying what is working well and what needs improvement as we deliver on our mission to provide a world-class education that prepares all Jeffco students for bright and successful futures. 

GRUB CLUB

Grub Club is a partnership between Jeffco Schools and the Jeffco Action Center to help feed Jeffco’s homeless and emancipated teenagers. Grub Club is a biweekly program in which these students receive boxes filled with three days’ worth of food and personal hygiene products. We need YOUR help to fill the 1,600+ boxes needed for 2024. Please click on the link below to view the flyer for Grub Club.  We will have a contest for classes with the winner earning a class pizza party! You can continue to bring food until March 8!

DAY WITHOUT HATE 

A Day Without Hate is a student-led, grassroots organization that promotes nonviolence, respect, and unity within our schools.  Help your child join his/her fellow students district wide to help end school violence and promote peace.   By encouraging students to be tolerant, friendly and kind, and teaching them that there are non-violent solutions to problems, hopefully as a community we can create a better world. 


We are taking Day Without Hate shirt orders now through 3/1/24. Please print the order form (or use the one that was sent in yesterday’s Thursday folder) and return with payment to Michelle Kinkel in the office by March 1st. The shirts will be delivered in mid April for Day Without Hate on 4/25/24.


DENNISON ROLLER CITY COMMUNITY NIGHT

Our annual Dennison Roller City Community Night is happening on March 5th from 4:00-7:00 pm! Admission is $12 and includes your skate rental. The theme is 80’s night!  We hope to see everyone there!

 Parent Teacher Conference Meal Volunteers - Thank you!

Thank you to all the parent volunteers who donated to the meals for the teachers and staff during parent teacher conferences this week. The teachers and staff were so appreciative! We were able to provide dinner both evenings, as well as breakfast on Thursday due to the generosity of Dennison families. Thank you!

 Good Night Dennison - NEXT FRIDAY

You're invited to Good Night Dennison next Friday, March 1st from 4:30-6:30 pm. We have a book swap, toy swap, games, crafts, snacks, and a clothing drive! Admission is free, and all events will take place at the school. We need some parent volunteers to help make the evening a success. Please consider volunteering your time by signing up here. See below for more details:

  • Book Swap: Bring any of your used books to the Dennison Library between now and Friday, March 1st during Good Night Dennison. Bring your own bag to Good Night Dennison and select as many new books as you want!

  • Toy Swap: Bring your gently used toys, games & puzzles to Dennison Building TEMP 9 (by Dennison’s south/faculty parking lot) on Friday, March 1st between 8:00 am-1:00 pm. One swap ticket will be given for every item. Come back to the Dennison Art Room between 4:30-6:30 pm to participate in the swap!

  • Clothing Drive: Help us fill up our clothing donation box! Bring your used clothing and shoes (in tied bags) to the Treemachine donation box in the Dennison main parking lot. Every time the box gets emptied a tree is planted - and the school raises money!

Yearbooks - Last Call for Photos & Ordering
We are excited about the yearbook this year—special features commemorating Dennison's 50th anniversary and the Blue Ribbon Award - plus hundreds of candid photos from throughout the year!

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We are looking for a few parents to help for 15 minutes at the end of the day with our crossing guard duties.  (We are really strapped when someone is out sick or has a meeting off site.) You would just check in at the office at 2:45, grab a stop sign, and head to the area where we need you.  This might be in the north parking lot, west crosswalk, or kiss and go area.  Please click on the link below to sign up to help!
