Preschool-aged families who live in St. Vrain Valley are invited to a magical, musical evening featuring a special reading of Emilia Tries the Cello by local teacher, author, and cellist Dr. Katarina M. Pliego. Accompanied by members of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, this enchanting story will come to life with a selection of short musical pieces ranging from classical to pop. During the experience, children will have the opportunity to play a variety of instruments and even create their own, blending STEM principles with musical creativity. Books will be given away while supplies last, and snacks and translation services will be available.
The evening will conclude with a spectacular performance by St. Vrain’s Student Drone Performance Team.

Inclement Weather
Please visit the District website here for more information regarding Inclement Weather Days
Anytime our community experiences inclement weather, our operations and leadership teams are driving roads throughout the evening and early morning, and in communication with various city and town officials, closely monitoring weather conditions. Our first priority, as long as it is deemed safe by our team in consultation with other municipality officials, will be in-person learning. Based on road conditions and weather forecasts, we will make one of three decisions:
- To keep a normal in-person school schedule
- Delay the start of school by two hours
- Shift to a shortened online learning day
2-hour Weather Delay
We will start school 2 hours later than regularly scheduled start times. Bus schedules will also start 2 hours later. (Please note that weather delays are different from our scheduled late-start days.)
Grades K – 8
- Classes will begin 2 hours after regular time
- After school programs will continue as scheduled
Preschool:
- Morning Classes: Will be canceled
- Afternoon Classes: Will follow normal schedules
- Full-day preschool: Will begin 2 hours later than their regularly scheduled start time
Shortened Online Learning Day (no in-school classes)
When inclement weather closes our schools to in-person learning, we will be instituting a shortened online learning schedule. During these closures to in-person learning, students will receive synchronous direct instruction on a shortened schedule, with additional asynchronous time to complete assignments. This link contains links to resources for families in both English and Spanish, including information on Webex. It is important to know: Attendance for your student’s virtual participation will be taken within the first 5 minutes of each Webex online class session. It is important that your student logs in to each Webex class session.
