Ponderosa Homecoming Parade
The NE/MVE PTO hosted a "Grease" float for the parade! The Administrators were Pink Ladies and Dr. Taylor got to drive a classic 1957 Chevy through the neighborhood! We all had such a great time seeing everyone at the parade! Go Pondo!
Emergency Messaging Test - Sept 19
DCSD will conduct a test of its emergency notification system, including email, social media, text and voice messaging on Thursday, September 19. Should a real emergency arise, the test will be delayed.
How do I update my emergency contact information?
If you need to update your contact preferences, log into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal and click on the “person” icon in the top right-hand corner of the page. Navigate to “Contact Preferences” and review your contact information. If you see an incorrect phone number or email, please update it in Infinite Campus, or contact the registrar at your child’s school to request an update.
What phone number will my caller ID show when I get emergency calls?
NOTE: We have transitioned to a different system this year, so the phone number has changed!
When you receive emergency communication from the DCSD Finalsite system, the number displayed will be:
Emergency Notifications (critical communications)
855-269-0502 (you may wish to add this number to your contacts)
Have additional questions?
Should you have additional questions, please contact the IT Support Center (303-387-0001) to ensure you receive emergency notifications accurately and quickly.
Picture Retakes
Picture retakes are on Tuesday, September 24th from 9:15-11:45. See attached flyer for more information. If your student needs to have their photo retaken, please let the classroom teacher know so they can make sure your student is sent for a new photo. If you already purchased a package and need a retake, please send the package in with your student by the 24th.
PTO Blast
We had an amazing turnout for our first free, community event- movie in the park! Thank you to everyone who joined us, enjoyed the popcorn, food truck, and the movie! Keep an eye out for our next free community event coming up in October- Trunk-or-Treat. Have you heard that our feeder middle school, Sagewood, is having a carnival this Thursday, September 5th? Come to the carnival from 5-7 and make sure to stop by the NEMVE PTO booth! We will have tossing/throwing games. Everyone gets candy for participating! See you there!
Save the date- our FunRun kickoff is happening at the end of September! The FunRun is our largest fundraiser of the year and is always a blast for our schools. We need volunteers to help make this event a success. Some ways you can help out-sign waving, prize distribution, or day of help. Sign up today for the opportunity to help out!
Our first general PTO meeting of the year will happen on September 25th at 5:00 in the MVE library. All NE and MVE families are welcome to join to hear about upcoming events, get updates from the principals, and find out more about PTO. Hope to see you there!
