Get ready, get set, the Heather Heatherwood is back! This popular end-of-year one-mile fun run will be held on campus for Home Learners on Monday, May 24, and for In Person students on May 25. We can use your help! In lieu of in-person cheering, families can pick up poster boards after school on May 13 to create inspirational posters for our husky runners. Posters should be returned on May 19 so that we can post them around the school yard. Paws Up!

Families of incoming kindergarteners for the 2021-22 school year were invited to attend a virtual Kindergarten Kickoff meeting on May 13 at 5:00 pm. Here is a link to the video we presented. We can't wait to meet our new Huskies!

The Heatherwood community is invited to come celebrate our outgoing 5th grade Huskies on Wednesday, May 26, at 3:00 pm! Fifth grade families will drive in the car parade, following this map. Other families, teachers and staff, please come line the route, make signs, make noise, wave, cheer and show your Husky Spirit as we celebrate the end of the year with our wonderful 5th grade class!

This week marks the start of our Heatherwood Reunited campaign! The purpose of Heatherwood Reunited is to put energy toward bringing our community back In Person for the 21-22 school year. We need all current students, Home Learners, lost huskies and new incoming kindergarten pubs to reunite In Person!

How can you help?

• Prepare your PK-4th grade students to return In Person to Heatherwood (current registered students will automatically be registered to return In Person).
• Support neighbors and friends to register their incoming Kindergartner now!
• Reach out to families who left Heatherwood and remind them that now is the time to register and reunite!

Now is the time to move from surviving to thriving, let's help get Heatherwood Reunited!

What's offered next year? See this link for more information.

Here is a quick video hosted by Heatherwood principal, Genna Jaramillo, to give you a peek into our school. To enroll for the 21-22 school year please go to BVSD.org/parents-students/enrollment. You can also contact the front office at 720-561-6900 or amy.mchose@bvsd.org. We can't wait to meet you!

Get ready to come together (virtually) for these Community Husky Happenings! Mark your calendars:

A big "Husky Thank You" to the 5th Grade Class of 2019 for our awesome new Gaga ball pit! It is already a big hit on the 1st-5th grade playground. We're also thankful to the 5th Grade Class of 2020 for our new playground sign. Designed with inclusion in mind, the communication board will provide easy, convenient access to the most common words to help students engage in conversation.

We need your photos for our annual Heatherwood yearbook! This year we will rely on photos submitted by our community more than ever before, especially from our Home Learners! This new Google form makes it easy to share photos. Questions? Contact Jessica Xavier at jess@planetxdesign.net.

Heatherwood will have a fall-themed selfie station in front of the school for students to take photos in their costumes or regular clothes. The fall backdrop will be set up from Thursday, October 29, to Tuesday, November 3. Home Learners are welcome to come take pictures as well! Families can upload your student photos here. It just may appear in our yearbook!

Back by popular demand, we are now offering new Husky Gear for a limited time only. Place your order at this link by November 11 and get ready to wear your Proudest Blue on Husky Gear spirit days throughout the year. Orders should be distributed before winter break. Paws Up! 

We are delighted to introduce our annual theme book: The Proudest Blue by Ibthaj Muhammad. Watch this read-aloud video and think about these life lessons about PRIDE,  our yearly theme: 

• The hijab is really important to celebrate for two sisters, Asiya and Faizah, and their family. We all have special things that may be related to our culture, religion or ethnicity that we can celebrate.
• Asiya and Faizah are strong like the color blue, like the ocean. We can celebrate with each other and be proud of who we are, together. We are the proudest blue too!

Our beloved Heatherwood teachers are back and getting ready for the school year! See the tables below for updated classroom teacher assignments and school supply lists. We can't wait to meet you. Paws Up!
