————————–Classes Cancelled on Friday, April 27—————————-
Dear Samuels families,
I wanted to provide an update about the class schedule for Friday, April 27. Due to significant anticipated teacher absences, DPS is cancelling all classes for Friday, April 27, including at our school.
DPS has been working in partnership to press our state government to restore education funding to our schools. The statewide teachers association, the Colorado Education Association (CEA), is planning a statewide rally of educators on Friday, April 27, to advocate for greater state funding and expects that many of our teachers will participate.
We had originally planned an early release on Friday, but due to the number of teachers planning to take the entire day off on Friday, DPS did not believe we would be able to keep our schools open on Friday. This is the case with most of our surrounding districts as well.
We want to support you through this change. Below is some information to help you plan for this non-student day.
Afterschool Activities:
SOAR will be canceled on April 27th
Shakespeare Festival:
The 34th Annual Shakespeare Festival is scheduled as planned. More information will be shared soon regarding transportation for families on April 27.
If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at 720-424-4450.
Sincerely,
Cesar Rivera
Principal
