Several of our Eagles joined hundreds of students and staff from across the district in the Celebration of Public Education Parade last week!

Mrs. Zamudio, Mrs. Hamblin, and Ms Sandoval led students in a variety of fun investigations on the Frederick Feeder SCIENCE float.

Three PRES students walked with posters that displayed one of the pieces of art they created last school year. Their art will be on display in the school!

We are proud of our school, our students and staff, and to be part of a strong community that supports our school district and public education!

IPad Insurance Window is Closing

Good news, there is still time to get IPad Insurance before the window closes on September 15th (insurance can still be purchased after that date with an inspection of the iPad).

Remember, families can get started with just $1 down to secure coverage. This small step can make a big difference in safeguarding your child's learning tools against unexpected accidents.

Here is the direct link to St. Vrain Infinite Campus where the insurance fee can be paid.

First Grade writing is on display! These Eagles had fun creating and sharing some of their interests.

The Colorado School Nutrition Association is seeking input on free school meals: The implementation of providing free meals to all students has led to a financial shortfall due to insufficient tax revenue collected to support the program. The information collected through the HSMA Public Feedback Form will play a critical role in shaping the future of school nutrition funding and policies, and it will be compiled for presentation to the Colorado Joint Budget Committee.

Here’s why your participation is so important:

Key Insights: Parent input is vital to understanding the positive impact of HSMA on school nutrition programs and the long term health and wellness of our students.
Advocacy: The feedback will directly influence policy makers' decisions regarding school meal funding and other critical issues at the state level. The bottom line is that to keep this program universally free for all students, additional revenue sources must be secured.
Timeline: All responses must be submitted by September 30, 2024, to ensure that we can present comprehensive data to the Committee.
