Sandburg Community Update

Thank you so much for your incredible support on Ballot Issue 4A to support the Mill Levy Override (MLO) for LPS and for being the best community in the state of Colorado. Our community has spoken, and they have decidedly said that they are for the continued excellence LPS provides each and every day. Your dedication to our students and schools makes all the difference.

We have an exciting week ahead! Next week is Pawlooza, and we have an incredible science event planned for our students. We are partnering with Cool Science to give our students a hands-on, interactive science experience that is sure to spark curiosity and learning.

Don't forget Friday, November 13th is our Thanksgiving Feast. Please be sure to review our updated lunch schedule and send in your RSVP so you can join us for this meaningful opportunity to gather and share a meal as a school family.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Lindsey Sieck

A few friendly reminders about our volunteer requirements and what it means to be a volunteer vs. a visitor. With so many special events at school, please take the time to review these expectations to avoid frustrations later. These requirements are required for any Sign Up Genius that room parents send out as well. These are all in place to keep our students safe. Thank you for understanding.

• Volunteers are individuals who have completed a district background check. If you’ll be working directly with students—leading groups, supervising activities, or attending field trips—you must be registered as a volunteer. Click here to register to be a volunteer.
  
  

• Visitors are guests who check in at the front office but have not completed the volunteer background check. Visitors are always welcome but may not be left alone with students.

If your student is going to be absent or late please enter the information in your parent portal prior to the start of the school day. You will find that on the bottom left under more, absence request. If you are calling in, please call prior to the start of the school day @ 303-347-4675 and follow the prompts. The final option is to send an email to sandburgattendance@gmail.com

All three options are checked at 8:00 am, if the message is received later you most likely will receive a phone call from the office looking for your student.

Please take a moment to review our policies around illness.

Littleton Public Schools follows the “How Sick is Too Sick?” guidance on CDE’s website to help you decide when to keep your student at home and when it’s okay for them to return to school.

Powell Middle School invites you to our Showcase on November 17th from 5:30-7:30 - an event that introduces families and prospective students to our campus through timed rotations of our academic programs, activities, and student support services.

Additional Opportunity Before Showcase Begins:

Fifth-grade students and their families are invited to a hands-on evening of innovation and excitement! From 5:00 pm to 5:25 pm, enjoy a pre-Powell Showcase program in Room 1213. Build, tinker, and explore creative STEM activities — then cheer on the thrilling CO₂ Dragster Races as student-designed cars speed down the track, and watch the laser engraver in action. Come discover the power of science, technology, engineering, and imagination in action! All future PUMAS are welcome to join in on the fun!
