Two week Spring Break countdown!! Woohoo!!
We are officially one week away from Spring Conferences! You will see the conference sign-up coming out this week. An email will be sent on Monday, from 3rd Grade, explaining how 3rd Grade conferences are a little different in the spring because they are student-led. The students take the lead in sharing their growth, goals, and reflections, and it is always such a special experience. Please be sure to read Monday’s email before signing up so you know exactly what to expect.
Student Council is also hosting a Kindness Week! On Monday, students may wear hats with their uniforms, and Friday will be a jersey day with uniform bottoms. We are looking forward to celebrating kindness together as a school community.
A quick PE reminder: students will be running the mile next week. Please make sure your child comes to school with tennis shoes and a healthy snack so they are fueled and ready to do their best!!
Lastly, the Scholastic Book Fair will be here the week of conferences! We will have a preview day on Monday morning, the 9th, and students who have money in their eWallet will be able to shop on Wednesday morning. You are also welcome to bring your child to the fair during the hours listed in AVA’s last weekly newsletter.
Can't believe we are almost to our last quarter together!
.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
- Parents please connect to our Class Dojo- this is how to monitor your students behavior (positive and negative)
- Please send your student to school with a filled water bottle as well as a couple healthy snacks for the day. Reminder that we are a nut-free classroom.
- Colorado weather changes hourly so please pack your student appropriate attire for the day.

Meet Mrs. Chambless
I am in my 18th year teaching, ninth year at AVA! LOVE it here! I have taught kindergarten, 2nd and 3rd. I am a Colorado native and love being with my family. My husband, Matt, works as a specialist for Douglas County School District... we are a teaching family! I have a freshman in college, Allikaye, who attends Colorado Christian University in Lakewood. I also have twins in seventh grade, Kai and Cambria. We are a busy family and like it that way! We are out playing sports, hiking, traveling, camping, and love being outdoors... Colorado living... especially living in the pines in Larkspur! I love coffee, reading, rainbow colors, smiley faces, and donuts! This is going to be a great year! Thank you for sharing your sweet children with me!!
