Teller Tiger:

From the Principal

Spread the word that Teller is a  High Perfoming: school. 

Students have multiple opportunities to demonstrate their leadership in any of the following areas: academic, artistic, physical, cultural and social.  Here are just a few reasons that Teller is Great:
  • Focus on the arts through vocal music classes, band classes, art classes, dance/movement classes. Shakespeare production of “Romeo & Juliet” by Challenge students, vocal music and band productions.
  • P.E.Aces noon hour program developed by our own Miss Chris for a fun filled and P.E.aceful playground.
  • Dedicated and caring teaching staff.
  • An awesome PTA that enriches students, parents and the staff’s lives in so many ways.
  • Our 2006 CSAP scores rank Teller as a High Performing School. Thirteen percent of the 98 DPS charter and elementary schools received High or Excellent rankings from the State of Colorado. Click here for more details.
Let your neighbors know Teller Elementary is an excellent school and the school of choice for all the neighborhood children in Congress Park to attend.

 “TELLER ELEMENTARY, YOUR CONGRESS PARK NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL!”

Odds and Ends:

  • Student classroom assignments for the next school year will be sent to parents around August 1st along with the dates for registration and other information.
  • Do we have your current address?  To ensure that you receive important school information, please update your address with the office staff if it has changed.
A reminder to Parents:
We need your help in making sure your child has appropriate behaviors when you bring them to after-school events or activities.  Children should follow the day time school safety rules for evening activities.  For your child’s safety, here are a few behaviors to keep an eye on:

  • Walk in the school lunchroom and halls.  (Please take them outside if they need to let off energy)
  • Watch that they don’t climb or walk on the half wall in the ramp area outside the auditorium.
  • Swinging upside down on banisters or railings can result in serious accidents.
  • Roller blade shoes scuff and mark the floors. In addition, they are a safety hazard.
Thank you for enforcing good manners with your child to keep them safe at evening events.

From the Lunchroom:

All charges with the lunchroom manager are due as soon as possible.  The deadline to have all charges paid is Monday, April 30th.  Also, as of April 30th charging will no longer be allowed, so be sure to send money with your child.  We need to have payment in full by the 30th of April so we can settle our books and compile our financial reports.  No Exceptions!!  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 720-424-3577.  If your child is receives free lunch, the charges were probably incurred before your child was approved for free lunch and they still must be paid.

Thank you,
Lunchroom Manager,
Kristi Waters
