Bromwell Bulletin
Thank you to all that were able to join for Thanksgiving Lunch yesterday and the Turkey Trot today!
Holiday Baskets
We know the holidays can cause added stress, and we’d like to help support families that could use it. If you are in need, please complete this form with your needs you have. Our school psychologist, Ms. Bonner, or our school social worker, Ms. Lancy will reach out to follow up and see how we can support your needs during Winter Break in December.
There are many ways you can learn about your child’s progress in class:
~Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences
~Spring Student Led Conferences
~Report Cards posted in Parent Portal 3 times a year (the first one is posted!)
~Parent Portal also has a lot of detailed information available:
School Choice Round 1 Opens January 15th!
The DPS Choice process opens 1/15 and closes on 2/18 with results typically released before Spring Break. If you are a current ECE family, or a family that already has a student at Bromwell looking to enroll a sibling and not in the boundary, you will need to do the school choice application for Bromwell. We do prioritize siblings of existing students, but we do not have control over how the DPS Choice Office algorithm assigns students to school(s) or their waitlist number.
If you have additional choice or enrollment questions, you can reach out to Lexie Krohn Parker in the front office, alexis_krohn-parker@dpsk12.net or 720-424-9330.

Shop at Modern Family and 5% comes back to Bromwell!
Modern Bungalow, a Bromwell Family owned business, will donate 5% of any purchase to Bromwell Elementary. Yes, both online (modernbungalow.com) or in store (1028 S. Gaylord st. Denver 80218). Just put a note or say “Bromwell” at time of purchase. Anytime between now and the end of the year.
Get a new roof from Formula Roofing and they’ll donate to Bromwell PTA!
We’ve partnered with Formula Roofing (shout-out to Nick Dillen, their Operations Manager, and Bromwell dad of two!), who is generously donating $500 per roof back to Bromwell PTA — and they’ve already given us $6500 this year! If we can send them an additional 5 families that need new roofs before the end of 2024, they’ll donate a bonus $1,000, potentially bringing this year’s total to $10,000!! Just contact Formula Roofing and mention ‘Bromwell’. Share with local friends and family! And see a fun picture of the Formula Roofing team with the Bromwell Bear and PTA board members attached and HERE. 🙂

Ongoing Reminders
Weather Reminders
With the change in weather, please send you children with layers and rain jackets as needed. As snow starts to come, please send snow boots and snow pants. Please make sure to label your students gear so if it ends up in the Lost and Found, we can get it returned to the correct owner. We want our Bears to enjoy outdoor recess as much as possible!
Looking for something to do during your lunch break? Come volunteer during our lunch/recess times! When you arrive, check in at the front office, grab an orange vest, and then make the rounds in the lunchroom to help kids open things, stay focused on eating (save the sillies for outside!). Outside, you might get asked to push a kid on a swing, referee a game, or have an existential conversation. Here are the times:
ECE & Kinder: 10:45 – 11:35
First & Second: 11:10 – 11:55
Fourth: 11:30 – 12:15
Third & Fifth: 11:40 – 12:35
