Bradley Weekly Newsletter

Principal Update 

We hope this newsletter finds you well and enjoying the abruptly changing seasons. As we move into a time of colder weather, please be aware that Denver Public Schools (DPS) may call for a Delayed Start or a School Closure. Here are the key details to keep in mind:

• Delayed Start: If a Delayed Start occurs, our start time will be delayed by 2 hours.
  • Front doors open: 9:25 AM
  • Late bell: 9:40 AM
  • Release time remains the same at 2:40 PM.
• Stay Informed: For real-time updates about Delayed Starts or School Closures, please check the DPS Website and local news channels. We will do our best to send out a message from the school as soon as we are notified.

This week, we came together as a school community for an all school assembly focused on Curiosity and Connection. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to engage with one another and explore new ideas together. The enthusiasm and creativity displayed by our students truly made this assembly special!

We are grateful for your continued partnership and support as we navigate the school year together. Thank you for being an integral part of our school community!

Finally, we are thrilled to welcome Mr. Neil Christensen as our new AN teacher! His enthusiasm and expertise will create a  significant impact on our students. Mr. Christensen brings a fresh perspective and a deep commitment to fostering a love of learning in every child he works with.

Warm regards,

Kimberly Ulery, Principal 

Jose Fernando Hernandez, Assistant Principal

Also, if you have a meeting first thing in the morning or in the afternoon, please do not park in the drop off area since it causes a traffic jam at drop off and pick up.

January IB Learner Profile
The Learner Profile for the month of January is Balanced.  Those who are balanced understand the importance of intellectual, physical, and emotional balance to achieve personal well-being for themselves and others.

Activities for Parents

• Encourage your child to participate in a wide variety of structured activities, such as soccer, Scouts, or ballet. 
• Discuss the food groups with your child and have them help plan a balanced meal.  Spending a few minutes during a mealtime deciding if what your family is eating is balanced is a good way to start a conversation about nutrition!
• Let them help you grocery shop. 
• Your child has big eyes and big ears and notices everything you do.  Role model being balanced. Spend time as a parent or family doing many different things.
