St. Vrain Valley School Schools offers access to early enrollment for highly advanced gifted children under the age of 6. A virtual parent meeting to provide information regarding the early access process and characteristics of young gifted children is scheduled for January 14 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. Typically, children who qualify for early entrance are performing in the top 2% of the gifted population and require acceleration to meet their academic needs. Children who may be ready to enter school early have highly advanced skills in literacy and numeracy, demonstrate appropriate social readiness and have exhausted the resources of preschool. Families who are interested in attending the virtual meeting are asked to register by emailing [email protected], and a link to the virtual meeting will be sent out via email before the meeting.
In accordance with Colorado House Bill 08-1021, St. Vrain Valley School District has established a process for identifying “Highly Advanced Gifted” students under the age of 6 who demonstrate a need for complete acceleration into kindergarten or first grade. Colorado state law makes it possible to accept students for early entry if the child meets the criteria established.
