November Newsletter

Dear Main Street Community,

As we welcome November, we want to take a moment to thank our Main Street families for your continued support. This month is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the growth, resilience, and dedication of our students and staff. We are so proud of the progress our students are making every day, both academically and socially.

We are also grateful for the strong partnership we share with our families. Your involvement, encouragement, and collaboration help create a positive, caring, and inclusive environment where every child can thrive. Together, we continue to make Main Street a place where students feel supported, challenged, and celebrated.

As the season of gratitude approaches, we want to acknowledge each of you for being such an important part of our school community. Thank you for helping us make this a school year full of learning, growth, and connection.

Warmly,

Gina, Alyse, & Beth

Please note: Main Street School will observe a late start of 2.5 hours this Wednesday, November 5.

St. Vrain Valley School District uses Professional Learning Community (PLC) Days for late starts, typically on the first Wednesday of each month and delays the start by 2.5 hours for weather-related events.

Late start days are used for teacher professional development, and a 2025-2026 School Calendar PDF is available on the district's website (or click on link at bottom of page) to view specific dates and times for these events.

Lifetouch picture day is coming! Monday, November 10, 2025 at Main Street School. Four pictures of smiling students.

Tips to Stay Healthy

Here are a few reminders to help your student stay healthy:

Remind or help your student to wash their hands as often as possible
Try to get plenty of rest
Try to get some outside time which is great for physical and mental health
Try to consume as many fruits and vegetables as possible

How Sick Is Too Sick?

There are four main reasons for children and adults to stay home:

The child or staff member could infect others with a contagious illness, either because of symptoms, a diagnosis, or recent exposure to a contagious illness.
The child or staff member does not feel well enough to take part in usual activities. For example, a child is overly tired, fussy, or will not stop crying.
A child needs more care than teachers and staff can give while still caring for the other children.
The child or staff member has symptoms or an illness on this list, and staying home is required.

Communicable Disease Public Guidance Document

Every child needs to feel comfortable when they attend class. You can help by donating new or gently used clothing to the health office.

Clothing items in need:

Girls and boys clothing size 6-10: shirts, leggings or sweatpants, shorts, sweatshirts, etc.
Teen girls clothing sizes 12-16: shirts, leggings or sweatpants, shorts, sweatshirts, etc.

We are grateful for your support. Thank you!
