Update Received From Denver Public Schools:

We are providing this notice in an effort to answer some of the questions and concerns that we have heard from a few of you, as well as to provide a general update on the topics that we have been discussing in the Eastbridge community over the past few months.

What is the future of the ECE-5 elementary school to be located in Eastbridge (also referred to as Stapleton 4)?

Many of you attended a series of two (2) meetings late last fall to determine the approach for programming at the Eastbridge location.  The options that were presented to the community to consider were: 

• Support the recommendation of a great proven program (Highline Academy)  - which would allow for knowledge of the school program and school leader before the December-January choice period; or
• Support the recommendation of hiring a school leader and building a great program from the ground up - realizing that there would be little information known about the school leader or the specific programming details in time for choice, an experience that mirrors that of the start-up of Swigert.

Based on community input, the recommendation was made by DPS Senior Staff and supported by the Board of Education that DPS move forward with hiring a school leader who would lead the charge of developing an amazing school program to meet the needs of the community - with the community's input, of course.  The position was posted and candidates responded from all around the nation!  Later this week, a panel of DPS personnel representing a cross spectrum of disciplines will meet with the most qualified applicants.  We will narrow the search down to the top 2 , and then bring them to you for your input.  We will send you information on the finalist in advance, and you will have an opportunity to meet them and ask questions about things that matter most to you.  Your feedback will then be received by the Superintendent as he makes the final decision about the next Stapleton school leader.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

Eastbridge Principal Selection Forum
6pm  - 8pm
SMIS Library

(Click here for full details)

We expect to have a final decision on the new principal by the end of January or very early in February.  Some of the best qualified candidates are currently on assignment in other schools around the country.  While we recognize the urgency of getting the new school programming into the development phase, we are also open to a June start if the principal is the best fit for the school and the community.  

Alyssa Whitehead-Bust (DPS Chief of School Reform and Innovation or OSRI) will serve as the principal supervisor for Eastbridge at least through design and start up, given her team's experience with school design and launch.  With the support of school design consultants, OSRI will begin the Eastbridge school design should the selected school principal not be fully available until June. SUN survey results and input from the community committee will also be an integral part of that design process.  Once on board, the principal will continue the collaborative work of school design/development, approval and implementation.

Where will the Eastbridge school be temporarily located for the 2013-2014 school year?

One of the other variables that we had to contend with during our fall conversations was the need for a temporary school location.  The new school will need to be built, and the new program will need to be in a "seed" or temporary location for the 2013-2014 school year until construction is completed for the 2014-2015 school year.  We indicated that how much space was available in the temporary program location would signal whether we would be able to offer ECE seats in that initial year, or whether the seeded program would serve Kinder and 1st graders only, and add ECE once the school was in its permanent home.

Our facilities team continues to explore temporary locations that would work well.  We anticipate having a confirmed location by early spring.  For those of you that have been anxious to learn about the seed location, please know that our commitment is to let you know as soon as a location has been determined.  Should the temporary location not be within Stapleton (as we are exploring all options in and around the Stapleton area), we will communicate a transportation plan in conjunction with the location announcement.  We are excited about what this new elementary program will have to offer Stapleton families, and we are sure we can make this temporary environment a rewarding experience for our new learners!

Will SchoolChoice forms be due on January 31st even if the school leader, programming information and temporary location have not been determined for the Eastbridge School?

Yes.  We recognize that you have many amazing choices!  Much like families did prior to the opening of Swigert International School, you are being asked to consider a school in Eastbridge without knowing as much as do you about some of the other schools that are on your SchoolChoice form.  What you should know is that DPS is committed to working with the community to develop an excellent program at Eastbridge that is second to none.  As a community, you have indicated your willingness to be a part of that process, and we look forward to working with you to make that happen.

The deadline for submitting your SchoolChoice forms is Thursday, January 31st at 4:00PM.

The much-needed snow may be falling now, but the mild days of  Spring are only just a few short months away.  It’s time to turn our focus from trimming trees with lights, garland and ornaments to creating homes for new trees throughout the City next spring.  In 2013, all Denver residents are eligible for free trees regardless of where they live within the city.  This rare opportunity is made possible by two tree distribution programs: The Park People’s annual Denver Digs Trees street tree program and the City’s Mile High Million tree planting initiative.

“We’re thrilled to be part of this exciting partnership that is sure to add thousands of trees in Denver neighborhoods across the city,” says The Park People’s Brenda Whetstone.  “With the help of the City, we are able to offer trees at no cost, creating a win-win for the  city’s urban forest and for all Denver residents.”

Any resident of the City and County of Denver can apply for free trees to plant along the street in the public right-of-way.  Additionally, those who have space for trees on the west side of their homes – whether in front, back, or side yards or along the street – are eligible to have trees delivered and planted for them.

“Trees planted on the west side of homes not only offer wonderful shade, they also help to reduce energy consumption,” says Sara Davis, the Program Manager for Denver Parks and Recreation’s Mile High Million Program.

Availability will be limited, so any residents wanting new trees must apply no later than February 15, 2013.  For more information and to apply for either free tree program, visit www.theparkpeople.org before the deadline or call 303-722-6262 to request a paper application.

“Trees beautify neighborhoods, improve property values, and support healthy living by encouraging people to spend time outdoors,” says Denver’s City Forester Rob Davis.  “This is a great opportunity for Denver residents to enhance their neighborhoods.”

The Denver Digs Trees program is able to offer free street trees to all Denver residents this spring thanks to a partnership with Denver Parks and Recreation’s Forestry Division.  The Mile High Million’s Trees for Energy Savings program is made possible with funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Led by Denver Public Relations guru Wendy Aiello and restauranteurs Jacqueline and Frank Bonnano, a group of former New Jersey residents now living in Denver is hosting a fundraiser to support relief efforts in the wake of "Superstorm" Sandy.

Dubbed "Operation Sandy Rescue," the event will be held at the Bonnano's newest restaurant, Vesper Lounge, 233 E 7th Avenue in Denver, next Tuesday December 18 from 5:00 to 11:00pm.

The cover charge is $20 at the door, and all proceeds from the cover and food and liquor sales will go to the Westfield NJ Rotary Club for the Community FoodBank of New Jersey.

Please share this invitation with your friends and neighbors!
