From the Principal. . .

It was great to see all of the families that were able to make it our for Parent Conferences. We always enjoy our partnership with our community! If you were unable to make it, please remember we can always be reached by phone or email if there is anything we can do to help!

The end of the first quarter is just a couple of weeks away. Let’s encourage the students to finish this quarter strong! We would love to see them at HW Club if they need a quiet place to study. HW Club happens on Mondays – Thursdays from 2:50-3:30pm in the library.

At the conclusion of the first quarter, we have a bit of a Fall Break, with no school on Friday, October 10 and Monday, October 13. We hope everyone enjoys the 4 day weekend!

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.
