Happy May! I can't believe we have made it to the last month of our school year together. What a great year we have had so far!
Our Living Explorer Museum was a huge success, and it was wonderful to see so many of you there. The students put an incredible amount of effort into their Explorer Posters and were so proud to share their hard work and knowledge with you.
We also had a blast at Skate City! For many of our students, it was their very first time skating—but they showed so much determination and perseverance. Even after a few tumbles, they got right back up and kept trying. We’re so proud of their positive attitudes!
On the academic side, we’ve completed our End of Year testing, and we’re wrapping up make-ups for students who were absent. Keep an eye on upcoming Thursday Folders, where you’ll find your child’s DIBELS and MAP Parent Reports. I’ll also send out an email to let you know exactly when to expect those.
Mark your calendars! Our 3rd Annual Colonial Day is coming up on Friday, May 16th, from 8:45–10:15 AM. This special event will take place outdoors, so please make sure your student is dressed for the weather. It’s going to be a fun and interactive morning!
As we head into the final stretch of the school year, I’ll be sending out emails with reminders and details about upcoming events and special dates. Stay tuned—we’ve got some great things ahead!
- 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 TREE nut-free classroom.
- Colorado weather changes hourly, so please pack your student appropriate attire for the day.
- We will have PE every Tuesdays- and some Fridays. Please have your student wear tennis shoes for those days.

Meet Mrs. Power
I'm so excited to begin my eleventh year at Aspen View! I love living in Colorado and have become a huge Avalanche fan! I am beginning my 32nd year of teaching!! I absolutely love the positive culture here at Aspen View! Greeting my students each morning with handshakes and hugs is one of the best parts of my day!
I enjoy the outdoors, hiking, fishing, sailing, and just being in the sun.
I also love going to concerts, movies, sporting events, playing cards, spending time with my husband and three sons, and of course I need to add shopping!
I am most excited to be in such a positive environment, with supportive and encouraging administration and staff! I can't wait to start the new year!
