WELCOME TO KULLERSTRAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Kullerstrand Elementary School would like to welcome you to our brand new website! 

November, 2019

Dear Kullerstrand Families,

Can you believe that it’s already November? The seasons are changing, the trees have lost their leaves and the snow is already upon us. As proud RAMS, we have focused on being Creative Thinkers, Explorers, Dreamers, and Mathematicians.  As we move forward, we will strive to be the very best Writers, Artists, Scientists, Musicians, Readers, Athletes, and Friends, keeping “We Are Kullerstrand” the foundation of our theme.

As a community, we have participated in the Farmer’s 5000, taking 1st place for the third year in a row for student participation, enjoyed celebrating Grandparent’s Day with our students and their families, and our 4th and 5th grade students represented Kullerstrand at the WR Area track meet with great pride.  Additionally, our students have also been fortunate to participate in various field trips that have deepened their learning and experience.  From the Botanical Gardens to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, to a nature walk and a climbing club, students are connecting their learning to life experience.  We continue to be deeply committed to our unified community that strongly emphasizes student experience and growth. 

Our staff continues to dedicate themselves to providing our students with a safe, positive learning environment that supports their growth academically and socially. Students are engaged in deep learning that parallels the Jeffco Generations vision of ensuring content mastery, civic and global engagement, self-directed and personal responsibility, communication, critical and creative thinkers, collaboration, agility and adaptability. We are also looking forward to celebrating our Veterans with a musical performance from our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students, a full evening of Family Learning, and our K-5 Holiday Program, just to mention a few.

Our energetic and ambitious PTA has established 3 goals for the school year – increasing membership, raising funds for a new playground and increasing community involvement.  We welcome and encourage families to attend and participate in these various and exciting involvement opportunities.   

Thank you for your commitment to Kullerstrand. I look forward to seeing all of you in the coming weeks.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at cheryl.clay@jeffco.k12.co.us or by phone 303-982-1780.

Stay warm everyone! 

Sincerely,  

Emotional Development Milestones

From crying as an infant to becoming a confident kid, your child will reach many emotional development milestones in just five years. The emotional competence of children and adolescents — how they experience feelings and deal with difficult situations — is an essential part of their overall health. The coordination of loving caregivers, valuable educators, and supportive health care providers can help influence a child’s emotional development. Positive emotional development is linked to: school readiness and academic success, positive peer relations, social competence and behavioral control.

Kullerstrand is a community that nurtures and empowers the whole child. We focus on building positive relationships and instilling a passion for learning. Using one-to-one devices, and adhering to current standards in educational technology, we engage children in problem-solving, critical thinking, and creative expression. A diverse community, Kullerstrand ensures a quality education through academic rigor, social-emotional learning, collaboration, and a positive school culture.
