Family Calendar of Events
PIE Reminder (Parents Involved in Education)
Hello Wonderful PIE Supporters,
We’re excited for our second PIE session, “The Library is More Than Books,” happening today at Timberline PK-8 from 5:15 to 7:30 p.m. We’ll start with dinner from 5:15 to 6:00 p.m., followed by parent and children’s sessions from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. P-Teach students will be leading a technology session, so please remind parents to bring their kids’ iPads.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Grade Level Newsletters
Each month, teachers will create a grade level newsletter with important information for the month. Teachers will send these directly to families, but we will also link the newsletters in the Howl for you.
September is Attendance Awareness Month
Ensure that your student attends school regularly, striving for ten or fewer absences. We realize that some absences are unavoidable due to health problems or other concerns. By planning ahead to minimize avoidable absences, students are more likely to have regular attendance in spite of occasional illness.
A whole year has 365 days.
A school year has only 174 days.
That leaves 191 days to spend on family time, holidays, vacations, and appointments.
We strongly encourage vacations to be planned for times when school is not in session. Parents can find the district approved calendar for scheduled breaks here. The St Vrain Valley School District has explicit policies for unexcused absences and tardies. The full policy can be found on the SVVSD Attendance and Engagement website.
Reporting Student AbsencesPlease notify the school office in the morning if your child will be absent. The school needs to know that your child is with you and safe. If we are unable to contact you, we must consider the absence unexcused. You can report an absence to our office by phone at 303-772-7900 or by email to [email protected]
Classroom Conferences – Save the dates – Tuesday, 10/1 and Thursday, 10/3
This fall, we will be using a Classroom Conference model. Classroom Conferences are a research and evidence based system that emerged from a grassroots effort to connect families and teachers to drive student learning. Classroom Conferences build classroom communities, increase parents’ capacity to support their students’ education, and improve students’ academic achievement.
Spirit Wear Store
This year, Timberline will have a Spirit Wear store, and it is open to anyone that would like to support Timberline! The store will be open Monday, September 30th until Thursday, October 10th. Orders must be placed online, and links for ordering are coming!

When? Wednesday, October 2nd (schedule to come).
