Spring is gradually beginning to show its beauty with a few sprouts popping out on the trees and green grass beginning to mingle over the grounds. Now that Spring Break has come and gone we find ourselves moving closer to the end of the school year. The weeks to come are very important for our students from the instructional and essential learning perspectives. We strongly encourage perfect attendance throughout the remainder of the year unless your child has an excusable absence (ill or an emergency). Our calendar is filled with a variety of events ranging from class presentations to sports events.

Water Only for Students
Parents, just a quick reminder that students may only bring plain water (no coloring or flavoring) to drink in the classroom. Sodas, power drinks or vitamin drinks are not allowed to be consumed on school grounds (unless authorized by a physician for medical reasons). On rare occasions, and after obtaining the administration’s approval, other beverages may be consumed in the classroom. We have a beautiful new school and our intention is to minimize the risk of spillages.
We care about our pupil’s health and wellbeing as well as the care of our new school. Clean free drinking water is available to students, staff and visitors throughout the school. This policy applies to parties and lunchtime as well.

We are all aware of the tragedies that have taken place. Our first priority is the safety and well-being of our students and staff. 27J has a highly-trained safety and security team who works collaboratively with staff and local law enforcement to provide a safe learning environment for our 20,000 students in every classroom, every day.
Southlawn has an emergency action plan and the staff make security awareness a daily priority. We practice our safety procedures and drills throughout the school year and are trained in how to respond in emergency situations.
Our Deputy Superintendent,Will Pierce, sent out a letter concerning Community safety. If you happened to miss it, please check it out by clicking here.
Starting next fall, we will have a full-time School Resource Office (SRO) on campus. An SRO is present in our schools to support school safety efforts led by administrators. They can, as requested, support investigations and complete welfare checks. SROs also work to build relationships between the community and law enforcement while serving at our schools. As information becomes available to us, on who our SRO will be, we will pass that on to you.
Thank you for partnering with us to make sure that all students are safe while they are at school. If you have any additional questions please contact the office at 303-655-6200.

Can you believe we have seven weeks remaining in this school year? For families of our Kindergarten and 5th grade students: mark your calendar for May 24th! We will be commemorating the end of the school year with a celebration for both our Kindergarten students as well as our Fifth Grade Students. The Kindergarten celebration will take place at 9 AM and our Fifth Grade continuation will take place at 6 PM. Both celebrations will take place in our gymnasium. Just a quick note: in order to remain in compliance with the fire code, we will be limiting the number of friends/family members for this event to four (4) per family.

Summer Fun/Summer Camp and Childcare
Are you looking for child care for your son/daughter ages 5-12 this summer? Do you wonder what the summer program offers? Guess what! 27J is offering summer child care at four locations (Second Creek is the closest to Southlawn).
So far, the program at Second Creek (which is amazing!) has spots available. Remember, space is limited. If you are interested, take the step to register. If you receive the message that there are no spots available, place your name on the wait list.
The summer program runs from May 30th through July 28th. There will be one away field trip and two in-house field trips/events each week. So far, the activities already put into place at Second Creek are:
AMF Bowling
Adventure Golf
Carpenter Park and Pool
Bouncy House
They also offer STEAM-based activities for the kids throughout the day as well. Many more activities are planned, but these are the ones we are aware of so far.
For more information, please check out the SD27j website.
