Parents and students will have a new look at school lunch! Beginning on August 1st, LINQ Connect, a new software program implemented by St. Vrain Nutrition Services Department, will display allergens, identify choices for those with dietary or religious restrictions, and provide real time updates on last-minute menu changes.

In addition to giving more menu visibility to parents and students, LINQ Connect enables the Food Services staff to collect data to drive menu decisions and control costs while delivering the best product possible to students every day. For the staff, the new software reduces paperwork and streamlines ordering giving the kitchen team more time to prepare delicious meals.

Given the fluid nature of the breakfast and lunch menus, please check Linq connect frequently by scanning the QR Code below.

Hearing and Vision screening will be taking place on Wednesday, September 13th. Please remember to bring your glasses or wear your contact lenses.

Vision and Hearing Screenings are vital to ensure your child has the visual and hearing skills necessary to perform well in school.

Please keep in mind that these screenings do not serve as a substitute for comprehensive exams by your child’s healthcare provider. Routine eye exams are important —regardless of age or physical health.

If your child requires follow-up vision or hearing testing, you will receive a letter with your child’s screening results.

Please contact Alyssa Redmore at redmore_alyssa@svvsd.org or 720-652-8101 with any questions/concerns.

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.

Please click below for the Referral Form.

All students in St Vrain Valley Schools will have access to free healthy, nutritious school meals beginning in the 2023-24 school year thanks to the Health School Meals for All program approved by Colorado voters.

Please continue to fill out the Free and Reduced Price Lunch form. While meals will be provided for free to all St Vrain students through Healthy School Meals for All, it’s important for us to continue gathering this information to receive full access to available federal funds that support nutritional programs at your school. By providing this information, you will help our district access all available funds to cover the cost of meals, and other nutritional programs for students. Plus, families who fill out the form may qualify to receive discounted school fees, class materials, bus passes, utilities support and more!
