During our Spring Toiletry Event, the Homestead community came together to make a meaningful impact! We assembled 230 summer snack packs for the McKinney-Vento students in CCSD, helping ensure they have access to nutritious snacks over the summer break. Additionally, we prepared 50 toiletry bags for our sister school. Thank you to everyone who contributed their time and energy to support our drive!

Thank you Homestead families, friends, and neighbors for your continued support in making the garden a success!

We are looking for volunteers to help water and weed the Homestead Garden. The time commitment typically takes about 30 minutes each time.

Watering responsibilities include:

• Vegetable garden to be watered every day, ideally in the morning.
• Flower gardens to be watered as needed.

Weeding responsibilities include:

• Weeding around trees, along paths, and within garden beds.

All volunteers should look out for general maintenance of the garden space, including general cleanup of litter and reporting animal tracks, vandalism, etc. NOTE: The lock box code is 1150.

For any questions/concerns, you can reach out to Matt Chinn at (303)521-5503 or matt.chinn@unisainc.com.

Thank You for your continued help and support!

All Visitors to our School:

We are so happy to welcome visitors and volunteers into our building this year. Whenever you come to Homestead, please bring your driver's license or state issued ID with you for check in.

Playgrounds After School:

Please help us make sure all of our kids are heading home right after school by staying off the playground equipment until 3:15 pm

Dogs:

We love them, but, please do not bring them onto school property. We have found that even on a leash, dogs can still present a risk to kids…some are afraid, some are allergic. Please help us make sure they feel safe here at school by leaving your dog at home. Thanks so much!

Bikes and Scooters:

“Walk Your Wheels”…please remind kids to walk their bikes and scooters in crosswalks and once they get onto school grounds. This reduces the risk of accidents with pedestrians.

Cell Phones and Smart Watches:

Students need to keep their cell phones and smart watches in their backpacks, turned off, during the day.

• For everyone’s safety, please end all cell phone use before entering the parking lot. The traffic in the back lot goes ONE WAY only. Enter from the north side and exit through the south side. DO NOT ENTER AGAINST THE ARROWS!
• There is no left turn out of the back parking lot onto Homestead Parkway. Vehicles must turn right.
• Please pull your vehicle all the way up to the crosswalk when possible before dropping off or picking up your child.
• Please have your child enter and exit the car from the PASSENGER SIDE ONLY. Drivers may not exit vehicle in the drop off lane for any reason. If you need to assist your child, please find a parking space.
• If you have dropped off your child, you may pull out and pass the cars that are curbside in order to exit the parking lot. Please pull forward slowly and anticipate that the drop off lane merges back into one lane after the crosswalk.
• Please only use the designated crosswalk when going to and from the parking lot. It is very important to show our kiddos where it is safe to cross, even when they are accompanied by an adult.
• Please remember that there are hundreds of kiddos walking next to moving cars – please drive slowly and attentively!
