The End is in Sight

We can officially see the finish line! As we head into this final full week of the school year, there is a distinct mix of excitement and anticipation. While summer is just around the corner, this is the most critical time to stay focused and channel your remaining energy into those final assignments and projects. Think of this week as your “final climb”—by staying organized and checking in with your teachers as needed. We are all here to support you!

This is also the perfect moment to look back at how much you’ve accomplished since August. Finishing strong isn’t just about the grades; it’s about honoring the hard work and growth you’ve put in all year long. We see the innovation, creativity, and focus that drives each of you in our school. Let’s keep that momentum up for one more week and wrap up the semester with pride. We are so close, LaunchED—let’s make every day of this final stretch count!

Sophia W, 12th Grade


Senior Sophia W. combined her Photography and 2D Design final projects into one with this creative idea, which she called Blooming Personalities. She used her digital drawings and pet portrait photos to create these reflections of each pet’s personality. Great job Sophia, and congratulations to all the seniors!

Also–if you had art in the art show, please stop by our office between the hours of 8:00am–4:00pm to pick it up. Our office is located at 619 Bowen Street in Longmont, CO. We have some incredible artists!

SAT Suite of Assessments Score Reports Coming Soon!

In April, the SAT Suite of Assessments was administered to 9th, 10th and 11th grade students across St. Vrain Valley Schools. These assessments offer valuable insights into each student’s academic progress, while also establishing connections to college and career pathways.

Individual score reports for this most recent assessment are now accessible through your student’s College Board account. THIS IS ACCESSED USING YOUR STUDENT’S COLLEGE BOARD LOGIN CREDENTIALS. Please follow these instructions on how you and your student can access score reports for all SAT Suite of Assessments taken during high school. This document offers guidance to help families understand a student’s individual score report.

ParentSquare: Our New District Communication Tool

A family sits on a couch, engaging with a tablet while smiling and sharing ideas in a cozy living room.

St. Vrain Valley Schools will begin using ParentSquare, a new district communication tool that allows families to receive notifications based on their preferences. St. Vrain’s communications team will pilot ParentSquare for the remainder of the school year with the plan to expand access to schools at the start of the 2026-27 school year. We’re excited about the opportunities ParentSquare offers to streamline communication and will be working towards consolidating several of the tools families currently use into one convenient platform. 

After spring break, parents and guardians will receive an email invitation to activate their ParentSquare account. This will allow families to download the mobile app, set language preferences, and choose how and when they receive notifications.

Visit the district website to learn more about ParentSquare.
