What's the Buzz - November 20, 2022
Message from Mrs. D and Miss Nancy
The Weather is Changing
As the weather is changing, it is the desire of the school that students get outside as much as possible. Please visit our FAQs on our website (or click here) for more information about outside and inside recesses.
Early in the morning, if the temperatures are 27° F or below (taking into account the windchill factor), the front doors will open at 7:30 AM. Students who have not had breakfast at home will head to the cafeteria. All students in Kindergarten and Grades 1 and 2 will go to the art room. Students in Grades 3, 4 and 5 will go to the gym. At 7:40 the hallways will open and teachers will then begin to welcome their students at their classroom.
Parents, please remember as the temperatures and weather changes, the students become cold easily. Gloves, mittens, warm shoes and coats are needed to keep their bodies warm and protected from the cold and elements. Be sure to write your student's name on the inside of each of the items. Should they be found they can be returned to your child. Thank you.

Thanksgiving Wishes From Us to You
May this Thanksgiving season bring special joys to you and may your blessings in abundance be yours the whole year through.
We Need You!
The new school year is well underway but like many other school districts, businesses and organizations, we’re facing very severe staffing shortages.
We continue to face labor challenged. YOU can help! Many parents and community members support us in the important work of substituting. We can use more teacher and para substitutes. Our teacher and para workforce has grown, but our sub pool has not yet recovered from to match this growth.
As a 27J sub, you can choose your location and your work days (hopefully at Southlawn). You can talk to Nancy (303 655 6205) or contact our HR Executive Director, Michael Clow, Andy Pippin or Julie Trujillo by calling 303 655 2900.
The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) has training and a recruitment stipend to get you started ... CDE LINK. Check us out at Workat27J.com. Please share with your friends and on social media. We appreciate your continued support of Southlawn Elementary.
