Oct 19th - District Showcase

Do you want to learn more about the district schools all in one place? Please join us for the district showcase on October 19th from 5:00-7:00 at Westminster Highschool. Now is the time to start learning about the school you would like your child to attend for kindergarten. This event allows you to learn more about all the schools in a fun way for the entire family. Students get to wear their Halloween costumes as they move around the high school and collect goodies. Parents can use this opportunity to learn about the wonderful things our elementary buildings offer.

Oct 21st & 22nd - Parent Teacher Conferences

This is a great time to learn about how your child is doing in class. During this event your child’s classroom teacher will present data about how your child has been performing this year. You will receive a packet of useful information about your child’s progress and specific activities that you can use at home to work on with your child. This will also be a great opportunity to ask your child’s teacher questions that you may have.

Although some absences are unavoidable, regular attendance helps our youngest learners build great habits for the future! Preschool is the perfect time to start. While we want children at school as often as possible, we also want to keep our community healthy. Please keep your child home if they show any cold or flu-like symptoms, including fever, diarrhea, or vomiting.

Students must be completely symptom-free without the use of fever-reducing or other medications for at least 24 hours before returning. To help you decide when to keep your little one home, please read our How Sick is Too Sick? Guidelines.

As a fun bonus, students who achieve 95% attendance or higher each month will receive a small token of appreciation from the school

Food For Thought is a 100% volunteer-run organization founded to eliminate the weekend childhood hunger gap. They pack and deliver "PowerSacks" (weekend food bags) to over 75 schools in the Denver area so students who rely on free or reduced school lunches have sustainable food through Saturday and Sunday.

At Gregory Hill, we receive bi-weekly deliveries of these PowerSacks. We place the black distribution bins in the front corridor of the school, and families are welcome to take as many bags as they need.
