Superintendent’s Update – The Future is in Our Classrooms

Dear St. Vrain Valley Community,

Thank you for your outstanding support in championing the growth and development of St. Vrain Valley Schools into a nationally recognized center of excellence for student engagement and 21st-century learning. Your unwavering dedication to the well-being and success of our students, teachers, staff, and schools is a testament to the outstanding community in which we live.

It has been a tremendous month in our community with numerous celebrations of student and school success. Our student-athletes at Erie High, Niwot High, and Lyons High have already brought five team state championships back to St. Vrain for the 2019-2020 academic year. Approximately 200 young musicians performed last night with the district-wide elementary honors choir. Altona Middle School, Skyline High School, and the Innovation Center were spotlighted at this year’s Succeeds Prize for excellence in education. The recognitions that have been earned by our students, teachers, and staff are too numerous to list, and we could not be more proud of the work taking place in classrooms across St. Vrain.

Public education provides the foundation for everything that makes our communities – and our nation – vibrant and strong. It is an honor to serve alongside the families, teachers and staff, business owners, elected officials, and other community leaders who continue to champion the advancement of our students and our schools. Together, we have thrived and strengthened our position as an accelerator of innovation and discovery. 

Again, thank you for your continued partnership – together, we will keep the #StVrainStorm of success moving through St. Vrain Valley Schools.

Sincerely,
Don Haddad, Ed.D.
Superintendent
