School News
Happy summer huskies! Our school office will be open until 3:30 pm on June 8, and will reopen on Monday, July 25. Have a fabulous summer with family and friends! We'll continue to "Run as One" on the first day of school: Wednesday, August 17. Please note this a 7:50 am start, NOT a late start day.
On Monday, May 23, our 5th grade huskies celebrated being "Straight Outta Fifth Grade" as they paraded around the Heatherwood neighborhood led by the Boulder Rural Fire Department truck! The parade followed a fun afternoon for families, including a picnic, a Sing & Sweets concert and the presentation of the continuation certificates in the outdoor hollow.
Paws Up 5th Graders! Good luck in middle school. We will miss you!
Paws Up to all of our husky artists and families who came out last Saturday to refresh our school with painted spring windows. Following our school theme: "We Run as One," 31 windows were painted to add color and positive messaging to our community.
Please take a moment to walk around and tour our outdoor gallery.
There are a number of ways to volunteer so please check the opportunities at Helpatschool.com. Help the Heatherwood PTO plan, coordinate and support our upcoming PTO activities. Here are two needs:
- Join us on Monday, August 8, at 1:00 pm for our first PTO meeting of the 22-23 school year! The tentative meeting place will be outside here at Heatherwood. Contact meg.heitlinger@gmail.com with any questions
- If you'd like to volunteer over the summer consider joining our Back-to-School Bash planning committee. We're planning to kick off our 22/23 school on August 15! Click HERE to learn more and sign up to help. Paws Up!
As we plan for our 22-23 school year it is important that our prospective kindergarten students register here. Help us "Draw Together" for Heatherwood by sharing this information with your neighbors and friends as we anticipate our staffing needs.
A Kindergarten Kickoff Meeting for new families was held at the school on May 11 and here is a digital handout from that meeting. Call us at 720-561-6900 for more info.
First grade huskies started their gardening season by planting lettuce starts on a sunny spring day this week! There was lots of laughing, learning and getting hands dirty in our beautiful school garden! We look forward to being able to serve the lettuce in our school cafeteria on Rainbow Day. The lettuce beds are watered, tucked in, and ready for this week's snow. Thank you Garden to Table!
