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 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.

If you have any questions, please contact Maisie Sky, our GT Coordinator.

School Accountability Committee

The School Accountability Committee is an opportunity for parents and community members to have a voice in the continuous school improvement process. This team of volunteers meets  3 times per year to review school data and achievement testing results.  Members of the team learn about the continuous school improvement process as well as the progress of the students at Sanborn Elementary, and offer insight and feedback.   The School Improvement Committee is an excellent way for members of the Sanborn community to help us continue to achieve our very best. For more information, please contact our front office at 303-772-3838.

Meeting Dates: October 24th, February 27th and May 15th from 3:45-4:45PM.

The  Student iPad Insurance window for the 2024-2025 school year is still open.

2024-2025 Student iPad Insurance:  $25

The iPad insurance fee will be reduced or waived for students eligible for a free or reduced price lunch under the federal poverty income guidelines and homeless students as defined by McKinney-Vento.

100 Mile Club Has Started!!!

100 Mile Club is a wonderful opportunity for students to participate in physical activity which will help them better focus on their learning, and develop an appreciation for running.  Registration and payment is all online this year. Please click HERE to register and pay for 100 Mile Club. The registration fee for 100 Mile Club is $25 per runner.  (Students can sign up for 100MC at any time during the school year.)  Preschool students can participate but an adult must stay for the duration of practice.

We meet behind the school on the blacktop by the playground and run in the field.

Sign up for the Remind App

This is how we will communicate 100 MC updates and cancellations.

Clothing Reminder

Check the weather before sending your child to 100 MC and make sure they have appropriate clothing. The mornings can be significantly cooler than your child’s afternoon recess.

We encourage you to send your child with extra shoes and socks. Some days the wet grass can leave our 100 Milers with soggy feet!

**If we have inclement weather, or temperatures below 25 degrees, we will not have practice.  We do not have an option to move 100 MC indoors.  Please sign up for Remind so you can receive cancellation updates!

This is going to be a great year! I can’t wait to see you out on the blacktop!

Your 100 Mile Coach,

Kim Pridemore

2024-2025 SVVSD CODE OF CONDUCT- Signature Required

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.

All students in SVVSD have access to free school meals thanks to the Healthy School Meals for All program approved by Colorado voters. Please continue to fill out the Education Benefit Form every year as this helps our district access all available funds and grants to assist in educational programs for students.
