SCHOOLOGY UPDATE:
Parent Schoology passwords are coming soon. St. Vrain is running a pilot with another school in the district early next week.
In order to get ready for a parent Schoology Account:
You must have an Infinite Campus parent portal account to access Schoology.
– If you already have an Infinite Campus parent portal account, please make sure you have an accurate email address listed in the Infinite
Campus parent portal.
– If you do not have a parent portal account, please contact Micki Fregosi at the school and she can get you set up.
Having these two steps completed will speed your ability to get a Schoology Account. Our goal (assuming all goes well at the pilot school) is to have account information to parents the week of conferences.

GT IDENTIFICATION: Search for Students
Each year schools in St. Vrain Valley School District complete a process to identify
students in grades K-12 who demonstrate exceptional ability or performance in one or more academic areas and may therefore qualify for Gifted/Talented educational services.
These students perform at least two years above grade level in their strength area(s) and 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.
The search for gifted/talented students begins with an opportunity for parents and/or teachers to refer students for review. Once referrals are received, a team of educators review student state testing data, standardized test scores, rating scales and other school data to determine student eligibility.
If you believe that your child qualifies and would benefit from district Gifted/Talented services, please pick up a nomination form from your school office. THESE FORMS ARE DUE NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 30. Please contact Michaela Campbell or Anna Youngs if you have questions.
