Mesa Elementary

Can you believe we’ve already reached the final week before Spring Break? The school year is absolutely flying by, and the energy in the hallways is higher than ever. Before we head off for a well-deserved rest, we have a packed week of inspiration and preparation ahead of us.

⚾ A Major League Visit

We are thrilled to announce that the Colorado Rockies will be visiting our school this week! They’ll be chatting with our students about the importance of education, staying focused in school, and how the lessons learned in the classroom translate to success on (and off) the baseball diamond.

Upcoming Schedule

We are back to a regular full week of school! excited to be joined this week by the Denver Zoo and Adams County Water Conservation.

March is shaping up to be one of our busiest and most exciting months yet. Before we head off to Spring Break, keep an eye out for these special events:

• Water Warriors Visit: An interactive session teaching our students about conservation and our environment.

• Student Performance: Come see our talented students take the stage! Thursday March 19th

• Spring Break will be March 23rd through the 27th

Get ready to power down! This coming Thursday, March 18th, our school will be participating in a campus-wide “Day Without Technology.” The goal of this initiative is to encourage our students (and staff!) to step away from the screens and rediscover the joys of tactile learning, face-to-face conversation, and creative play. For 24 hours, we’ll be trading tablets for sketchbooks, keyboards for pens, and notifications for real-world interactions.

We invite you to join the movement at home, too! Consider keeping the "digital detox" going through dinner to share stories about the day’s adventures. Let’s see what we can discover when we aren't looking at a screen.

As we move into the final stretch of the school year, we are shifting our focus toward the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS). While our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders have already begun their classroom preparations, we want to make sure families have the official start date on their calendars.

• Official Start Date: Tuesday, April 7th

• Who is testing? All students in grades 3 through 5.

• How to Support at Home: While teachers are working hard on-site to ensure students feel confident and prepared, the best support at home right now is maintaining a steady routine and encouraging a positive, low-stress attitude toward testing.

We will provide more detailed schedules as April approaches, but for now, please mark your calendars to ensure your Mustangs are well-rested and present on these important days!

It is very important that we have current contact information for every parent or guardian. We use multiple methods to communicate with our Mesa families. The primary way we communicate with you is through Sunday phone calls and emails. You will also receive a monthly newsletter by email. Teachers will use Class Dojo, email, and phone calls. Our office team will primarily use phone calls.

Please be sure that we have current phone numbers and email addresses for you. The best way to update your contact information is through the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus. If you need assistance with your Parent Portal, please call 303-428-2891. We can provide you with your user name and reset your password for you.

Our community is defined by the people in it, not just the bricks and mortar. Thank you for your continued faith in our staff and your dedication to your children's success. Let’s make this March one to remember!
