We are nearing the end of the year and with that comes some year end tasks for families. Please see below for more information about Library Books, Lost & Found, Medication, Chromebooks, and much more. Take a moment to read through this important information.
Asbury Elementary School 2023-2024
Lost & Found
Everything will be donated on June 5th by 4:30pm.
Library Books
The final due date for all library books is Friday, May 24th
Overdue notices will be sent home over the next few weeks.
Overdue library books are welcomed back at any time–including books from other DPS libraries. (Books will be sent back to the library they were checked out from.) There are no fines for overdue books.
Lost books–If you are in a position to replace a lost book with a similar hardcover book, or if you would like to contribute to the cost of a replacement book, we invite you to do so. Money can be left in the office with Ms. Baca.
Medication at School
If your student has medication in the Health Office, a parent or guardian will need to pick up all medications by 11:00 AM June 5th. Medications cannot be sent home with students. If your child is participating in a summer program, these will not be automatically transferred. Parents will need to pick up the medicine from Asbury and then give it to the summer school site on the first day. If you need to make alternative arrangements for pickup, please contact the heath office directly at 720-424-9755 or rachel_wheat@dpsk12.net
Student Chromebooks and Chargers
The district sent out an updated plan that all chromebooks must be turned in by the end of the school year this year. We have also been told that no exceptions will be made on this policy.
Please reach out to Amy_Ravel@dpsk12.net if you have any questions and she will direct you to the Dots/My Tech contact.
If you have a student in a grade level that takes their chromebooks to and from school, they will bring their chromebook AND charger to school on Wed, May 29 and not take it home after that for this year. Chromebooks will be handed out again in the fall.
More information will follow regarding device collection details. Watch in Thursday Folders and Deets.

Come Celebrate Mrs. Chapman’s Retirement – Tomorrow after school from 2:45-3:45 on the playground!
It has come time for our beloved mayor of Asbury to spread her eagle wings into retirement! Mrs. Chapman will be retiring from education after spending her 30 years at Asbury. So many students and families have been lucky to be a part of her life the past three decades. Because she feels that same sentiment, she would love to celebrate with former students, colleagues and families after school on May 17 on the blacktop.
What- Mrs. Chapman’s retirement celebration!
When- May 17 at 2:45-3:45 pm
Where- Asbury blacktop

Mental Health Summer Services
The Denver Health Student Based Health Clinics will be providing mental health support for students over the summer through a program called TRUST who may be suicidal or have violent ideation, have a significant traumatic experience, or any other mental health concerns. TRUST stands for Therapeutic REsponse and Urgent Stabilization Team. School staff can make a referral using this form http://tinyurl.com/SBHCMHreferral. TRUST operates year-round, so you can always refer students, but the summer is a great time to use this resource since school staff are not as readily available. You can read more about the services provided here
