Friday, April 26th Message from the Principal

It’s hard to believe the month of April is almost over and that May is just around the corner! This time of year at Needham tends to be very busy, as we celebrate the learning and growth students have worked hard to accomplish. Please be on the lookout for permission slips and other events that are a change from your child's normal routine.

We Love our PTO!

Our PTO met on Wednesday and had a fruitful evening!

Letter to Needham Families

Dear Needham Families: In cooperation with the Colorado Department of Public Safety and Durango School District 9-R, Needham Elementary School is working to communicate with parents about our standard response protocol (SRP) for student safety. There are five types of SRP actions that we will practice this school year: Lockout, Lockdown, Evacuation, Shelter, and Hold in Place. Next Tuesday, January 29th at 1:30 p.m., we will be holding our first of two Lockdown Drills for this school year.

Winter Weather

Dear Families: When temperatures are below 20 degrees, we will hold recess indoors. Additionally, we will allow students to come into the Multi-Purpose Room before school (starting at 7:45) when the temperature is below 20 degrees. Please make sure your child has warm clothing, gloves, a hat and snow pants if he/she is planning on playing in the snow. If you need assistance securing any of these items, please let us know. Thank you! Jenny McKenna Principal
