Message from Mrs. Keppler

Dear Fireside Families,

 

We’re beginning to breathe a bit easier as the majority of staff have received their first vaccine dose and some even their second. Our partnership with Boulder Community Health, as well as other private and public facilities, have supported these efforts. 

 

You can expect kinder and PK report cards to be sent home today in Friday folders and in grades 1-5, families will be able to view all report cards in Infinite Campus on Thursday, February 25th by accessing the link HERE. 

 

Next week I’ll be hosting a virtual Principal Coffee for parents of students in grades PK-2. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community, support one another with raising our children and ask any questions.  https://meet.google.com/ymp-xmgh-wic

 

As we celebrated Random Acts of Kindness week, I must say I’m continuously amazed by our respectful, caring students and the number of complements and kind words and deeds that transpired throughout the week. Thanks, Falcons, for your kindness, heart and for spreading the love.
