Dear Cory Community,
Denver’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) has begun a year-long study of theEvans Avenue Corridor from S. Colorado Boulevard to S. Quebec Street. DOTI will evaluate all forms of transportation including walking, bicycling, rolling, transit, motor vehicles and freight, as well as parking utilization, opportunities for green infrastructure, access management and right of way and utility impacts. When complete, the corridor plan will be the guiding document for the future of mobility on the Evans Avenue Corridor. For more information, visit the project web page at bit.ly/evansavestudy.
Join the DOTI project team to discuss existing conditions, goals, and the planning timeline for the East Evans Corridor study:
Virtual Community Meeting #1 Date: December 6, 2023 Time: 5:30-7:00 p.m. Register for the meeting at bit.ly/evansmtng1 Call in # 720 707 2699; Meeting ID: 819 1462 3970
Additionally, tell us how you travel on E. Evans Avenue! Please take project survey #1 at bit.ly/evanssurvey1eng.
I have attached the English and Spanish/PDF and JPEG versions of the community meeting invitation. To reach all interested community members, the project team would be grateful if you would share the attached flyer with your school staff and families and post on social media platforms, if feasible.

Important reminders:
Please help us by bringing your students to school on time. We start right away in the morning with lessons. School begins at 8:10
Please don’t bring food in to share with students without teachers permission. We have many allergies in our building.
The weather is getting cooler so please make sure that students come to school with appropriate clothing as we will go outside on colder days.
Please remember NO dogs on school grounds. We love our pets but they can’t be on campus
Please do not ride bikes, scooters on the playground during drop off or pick up. We have over 400 students coming and going at the same time and would hate to have anyone get hurt.
Please make sure to continue following the parking lot and Kiss and Go guidelines to insure our students stay safe.
Keep an eye on the Lost and Found area. It is starting to fill up with items.
Please make sure to call the attendance line if your child is going to be absent.
Student Council is asking for your help collecting donations to the St. Francis Center Apartments. This local organization provides shelter for previously unhoused adults and families – and they need our support!
They are looking for donations of any of the following items for their residents: ** chunky canned soup ** canned tuna or chicken ** pasta sauce and spaghetti ** peanut butter and jelly ** tall kitchen trash bags ** washcloths (face cloths)
Our collection drive will begin Monday, Dec 4th and run through Thursday the 7th. Bring items in to your classroom teacher. Thank you for your support!

Just some healthy reminders please make sure your child has a water bottle at school, hydration is key to a healthy body and brain.
As a reminder we are an allergy aware school, Allergy Aware is a term used where it means to be informed about allergies, the impact the allergy has on an allergic person’s life/lifestyle and those close to them, familiarity with the severity of the symptoms and the treatments required in the case an allergic reaction. This means wiping areas after eating snacks or lunch, washing your hands, and being understanding that some of our peers have allergies to many different things. We do not share private health information about any student but ensure we are making a community who is aware that there are people who do have allergies and how we can support them and keep them healthy and safe.
For students who need meal modifications for school meals please have the attached form completed by your child’s health care provider and returned to the health office.
