Happy Friday Raptor Families,

Thank you for a great week. Middle school wrestling has begun and we are excited to see their growth throughout the season. 

Student safety is our priority. As a reminder, do not use the bus lane for drop-off or pick-up. There is no drop-off line. Please park and have your student use the crosswalk. Please reference the drop-off & pick-up map for clarification. We also appreciate your support in providing your ID when checking students out from school. This makes sure we keep a safe environment for all our students. 

We appreciate your 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 

Matt Romig, Assistant Principal 

Grant Elwood, Dean of Students

Join Us for Tunes, Tales & Tinkering!

February 3 | 5:15-6:45 P.M. | Innovation Center

Preschool-aged families who live in St. Vrain Valley are invited to a magical, musical evening featuring a special reading of Emilia Tries the Cello by local teacher, author, and cellist Dr. Katarina M. Pliego. Accompanied by members of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, this enchanting story will come to life with a selection of short musical pieces ranging from classical to pop. During the experience, children will have the opportunity to play a variety of instruments and even create their own, blending STEM principles with musical creativity. Books will be given away while supplies last, and snacks and translation services will be available. 

The evening will conclude with a spectacular performance by St. Vrain’s Student Drone Performance Team.
