Superintendent’s Update
Dear St. Vrain Valley Community,
As we reflect on the start to what promises to be another remarkable year, I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude for your unwavering partnership and support. Together, we continue to elevate excellence across our system, fostering an environment where our students thrive both academically and personally.
The start of this year has been marked by numerous achievements and milestones that showcase the vibrancy of our educational community. Our Public Education Parade in September was a testament to the enthusiasm permeating our district and community. It highlighted the numerous opportunities our students have to immerse themselves in academics, the arts, athletics, and much more. We’ve also witnessed, as our students have demonstrated, remarkable academic results, with notable advancements in our Colorado Measures of Academic Standards (CMAS) scores and overall student achievement levels, as well as another anticipated increase in our on-time graduation rate for the Class of 2024, building on our position as the Denver Metro Area school district with the highest graduation rate while maintaining the most rigorous graduation requirements.
In the weeks ahead, we look forward to a series of exciting events that will showcase our students’ talents. These include St. Vrain Band Night featuring our exceptional marching bands, the All St. Vrain Elementary Honor Choir performance, a number of high school and middle school theater productions, fall music concerts, and various athletic competitions highlighting our students’ sportsmanship and skills.
Your involvement remains crucial to our success. We’ve seen impressive participation in our parent and community Leadership St. Vrain initiative, our informative fall town hall meetings, and numerous additional school and community events. As we approach the school open enrollment period, we eagerly anticipate welcoming families to our school open houses, providing a glimpse into the outstanding educational experiences that are offered across our entire system.
To our parents, teachers, staff, and community members – your dedication to excellence is the cornerstone of our achievements. The positive news headlines and celebrations our students, teachers, and staff have garnered are a direct result of your commitment. Because of you, St. Vrain students continue to receive unparalleled educational opportunities that will shape their futures in profound ways. As our district continues to grow and advance, we will continue to update you regarding our various programs, results, initiatives, challenges, and successes.
Thank you for being an integral part of our educational journey.
Sincerely,
Don Haddad, Ed.D.
