Eagles in Mrs. Rivera’s class had the opportunity to ‘be the teacher’ during science last week! One student explained how to make a volcano using clear and simple directions and he asked and answered questions. We are proud of their efforts to demonstrate learning and leadership!

In music, our 5th grade Eagles demonstrated their understanding of the flow of music by collaborating in small groups to create a performance. It was outstanding!

Kickball fun in PE! In addition to learning the rules of the game, these 5th grade Eagles practiced being good sports and teammates.

We’re providing links to the resources most frequently requested by parents to help manage students' iPad use at home. These include links on important topics like filtering and restrictions, managing screen time settings, how to use Infinite Campus to stay updated on your child's progress, paying fees, and granting permissions. It’s also essential to set clear rules and monitor iPad use at home to ensure a safe and productive digital experience. By working together, we can make technology a positive force in our children's education.

Filtering and Restrictions - Every iPad is equipped with a set of restrictions (based on grade level) and an internet content filter. These settings are deployed to the iPad and work at home as well as at school.

Details on iPad Restrictions

Details on Content Filtering

Screen Time - When you turn on Screen Time and enable the Content and Privacy Restrictions, you can "Enable" the explicit content restriction and other settings. It is easy to assume that the restrictions were not already in place. This is not correct.

Though restrictions are applied through the St. Vrain Device Management, they will NOT appear in Screen Time settings. To view restrictions that are enforced, open Settings on your child’s iPad and go to General > VPN & Device Management > MDM Profile > Restrictions.

More details about the Screen Time application can be found in this support article.

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.
