From the Principal. . .

As we enter the month of September, we will find our athletics, clubs, and activities in full swing! Students are enjoying the extra opportunities they are given here at TRMS to engage in fun activities. For those not yet involved, encourage your student to find something they like and join the party!

Parent-teacher conferences are coming up soon—this is a valuable opportunity to connect about your child’s progress. More details will be shared in the coming days, so please stay tuned! However, don’t feel like you need to wait until conferences if you need assistance beforehand. At anytime, you can reach out to teachers, counselors, or admin – we are here to help!

We appreciate all of your support in helping make Trail Ridge a great place for students!

Sincerely,

Mr. Cloke

Gifted & Talented Referrals

Each year, schools in St. Vrain Valley School District complete a process to identify students who demonstrate exceptional ability or performance in one or more academic and/or talent areas and may, therefore, qualify for Gifted/Talented educational services. These students usually perform at least two years above grade level in their strength area(s), and they require additional academic challenges in order to support their continued educational growth and progress. In
addition, they usually demonstrate characteristics of unique creativity and high motivation in their strength areas.
Referrals are open through the month of September and will close on the last day of the month. Referrals after that date will be addressed on a case by case basis. Completing a referral guarantees a review of the student profile to determine if testing is recommended for the student.The process for identification requires a body of evidence and often takes place throughout the school year.
The process takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.
