Dear Raptor Families,

What a great week. It was wonderful to see all of our families at our first home volleyball game on Wednesday and the scrimmage on Thursday. Thank you for supporting our student athletes.

As a reminder, tonight is the Fall Carnival from 4:30 to 6:00pm this afternoon! We look forward to seeing you all there.

Instructions for acknowledging the SVVSD Code of Conduct have been sent out. Please make sure to review it carefully and indicate in IC that you have received it.

With the very warm weather we have been experiencing, please remember to keep student dress inline with the SVVSD code of conduct. As always, please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. We appreciate your continued support and involvement in our school community. Please let us know if you need any assistance.

Best wishes,

Catrina Estrada, Principal 

Sandra Vazquez, Assistant Principal

Grant Elwood, Dean of Students

The SVVSD Code of Conduct information is attached below. Please make sure to review it carefully and indicate in IC that you have received it.

Dear Thunder Valley students and families,

Thank you for your partnership and supporting the academic growth, safety, and well-being of our students. Every year, St. Vrain Valley Schools prints an up-to-date version of the Code of Conduct for students and families to review. This important document guides students and school staff on what expectations for school conduct and the consequences for behaviors that fall outside of those expectations. It is important that families review this information every year and acknowledge their receipt and understanding of this document. 

To this end, please click here to access an electronic version of the Code of Conduct for the current school year. After you have reviewed this information, all families must sign an electronic acknowledgement that they have received, read, and understand the information contained, including the Annual Notification to Parents/Guardians; Behavioral Code of Conduct; Rights and Responsibilities of Students and Parents; and Board of Education Policies book. To sign your electronic acknowledgement, please follow the steps described here.

Again, thank you for your continued partnership and support. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at 303-833-2456.

Sincerely,

Catrina Estrada
