Principal’s Update
As we’re getting ready to say goodbye to August, I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to all our awesome students and families. It’s been amazing to see students diving into their classes, making connections with their peers and teachers, and proving that LaunchED students are all about embracing the joy of learning. Wishing everyone a fantastic three-day weekend ahead!

Gifted and 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 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.
Please click here to access the form for the referral process: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfF8EWtUYJjE3rwyw-EQ5fzF0uoJVdHa4UdKqoQgwvjGEXIuQ/viewform
In our district, we utilize the i-Ready Assessment in Reading and Math to help students understand where they are strong as a learner and the areas where they might need additional support. Students in grades 1st-8th will be taking the i-Ready assessment in the next couple weeks. Please encourage your student to show what they know by doing their best on this assessment. We have the best learners in LaunchED!
