Celebration!

We have some truly incredible news to share! The state has officially released our graduation rates, and LaunchED achieved an impressive 89%.

This milestone is a huge point of pride for our community, as it stands as one of the highest graduation rates for multi-district online schools in the entire state of Colorado. This achievement is a direct reflection of our students’ innovative spirit and hard work, the expertise of our educators, and the steady support of our families. While we celebrate this number, we are even more proud of the doors it opens for our graduates. Thank you for helping us lead the way in online excellence!

Attention Middle & High School Students!
📝 Your “Start Strong” Checklist

Use these four keys to stay on track and make the most of this semester:

• Check Schoology During and After Classes: This is your hub for all assignments, lesson materials, and daily updates.
• Monitor Progress in Infinite Campus: Log in regularly to stay up-to-date on grades and see how you’re progressing in your courses.
• Engage in Advisory: Your Advisory class is the best place to build community and stay connected with school-wide opportunities.
• Utilize Office Hours: Don’t wait until you’re stuck! Office hours are dedicated time for you to ask questions and get 1-on-1 support from your teachers.
  
  If the last semester did not end like you hoped it would, this is the time to re-focus your habits and engage in all the support we provide. This is your time to make this semester awesome!

Help us build our Gala basket for the silent auction!

Each year our St. Vrain Valley Education Foundation provides funds to support students and teachers across our district. To raise money for this support, the Education Foundation hosts an annual gala and silent auction. (Link for information about the Gala event)

The silent auction includes a basket from each school, and in years past we have put together some great baskets! (Pollinator & Garden Basket, Creativity Basket). Our theme this year for LaunchED is Game Night! We are asking for donations of new family games to include in this basket (Fun Card Games, Board Games, Game Night snacks, etc).

You can drop items off at our LaunchED campus if you would like to support the creation of this basket. Items are due by January 30th.
