LaunchED Picture Of the Week
This last week we’ve had our elementary students in our AGILE (Advanced Global Interactive Learning Environments) Classroom in our LaunchED campus both in person and online. This hybrid learning environment allows students to interact in meaningful ways–this picture captures some of our third grade students participating in science in person and interacting with their classmates that were remote!
Check out our STEAM page on our Website. You will be able to see featured news, upcoming events, sample student projects and more!

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 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.
