LEES News

Dear Longmont Estates Elementary students and families,

Thank you for your partnership and supporting the academic growth, safety, and well-being of our students. Every year, St. Vrain Valley Schools prints an up-to-date version of the Code of Conduct for students and families to review. This important document guides students and school staff on what expectations for school conduct and the consequences for behaviors that fall outside of those expectations. It is important that families review this information every year and acknowledge their receipt and understanding of this document.

To this end, please click here to access an electronic version of the revised Code of Conduct for the 2021-2022 school year. After you have reviewed this information, all families must sign an electronic acknowledgement that they have received, read, and understand the information contained, including the Annual Notification to Parents/Guardians; Behavioral Code of Conduct; Rights and Responsibilities of Students and Parents; and Board of Education Policies book. To sign your electronic acknowledgement, please follow the steps described here.

Again, thank you for your continued partnership and support. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at 720-652-8101.

Sincerely,

Traci Haley

Elementary material fees will be maintained by LEE to purchase school specific nonstandard classroom materials such as school planners, word books and writing paper. Because items purchased with materials fees are for both individual student and group use, the fees will be pooled and deposited for use in an account at LEE.

This fee will be assessed on September 15, 2021, and due by October 15, 2021. The $10 fee may be paid by check made out to LEE, cash or by clicking here. Please keep in mind that you will not be able to pay this fee online until September 15th.

Each year St. Vrain Valley School District completes a process to identify students in grades K-12 who demonstrate exceptional ability or performance in one or more academic or talent areas and may therefore qualify for Gifted and Talented educational services. These students usually perform at least two years above grade level in their strength area(s) and 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.

The search for gifted/talented students begins with an opportunity for parents/guardians and/or teachers to refer students for review. Once referrals are received, a team of educators review student state testing data, standardized test scores, rating scales and other school data to determine student eligibility. Nomination does not automatically guarantee additional GT testing but this will be determined by reviewing school data.

If you believe that your child qualifies and would benefit from district Gifted/Talented services, please use this link for the district nomination form. We ask that you consider the child’s top TWO strength areas when completing this nomination.

Nominations close September 30, 2021.

Thank you.

Our school day ends at 3:00 PM. If you are going to be later than 3:10 PM., please call the office to let us know. Students will be kept in the office until a parent/guardian has arrived. If we have not received a phone call, we will be contacting you to receive clarification on the after school plan. Thank you for helping to keep our students safe!

100 Mile Club is a running, jogging and walking club. Every student, parent and staff member are welcome to join and do their best. Students can join at any time throughout the school year, attendance is not mandatory and coming a little late is better than not coming at all. Longmont Estates Elementary will be implementing the 100 Mile Club on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning on September 14th from 7:40-8:10 am. The registration cost for 100 Mile Club is $20 per student per year. Please note that this is a district-wide program and sponsorships will be applied to students needing assistance district-wide. If you need a scholarship, please work with David Edwards. Register online through Revtrak at: http://www.svvsd.org/online-payments.

We will meet on the west side of school in the mornings. If the field is snow covered, we will walk/run on the playground blacktop and if it is actively raining or snowing or it is below 15 degrees outside, 100 Mile Club will will be cancelled. Please encourage your child to bring water, wear layers of clothing and bring a CAN DO ATTITUDE. Our goals are to increase physical fitness levels, set goals, build community and increase academic achievement through this physical activity. Looking forward to seeing you in the 100 MileClub! If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions please contact Mr. David at edwards_david@svvsd.org.

There is limited parking at the school. If you need to park and enter the building with your child, please make sure you are parked legally on a neighborhood street. Be friendly to our neighbors by not blocking driveways please! For the safety of our students, the staff parking lot should never be used for student drop off or pickup. The first spot in the parking lot is designated for handicapped parking. This spot will be accessible at all times. Please note that the parking lot will be blocked off in the morning from 8:00am-8:20am and in the afternoon from 3:00pm-3:15pm.

We all love our dogs, but unfortunately, not all dogs love everyone else. Dogs are very protective of their owners and may become more aggressive around strangers and young children.

For the safety of our children, and for your own liability protection, we do not allow dogs on school property or in the school (with the exception of service dogs) during school hours or during school events. A dog that is friendly to you may frighten a young child or may become excited or aggressive in the presence of several children. We realize this may be inconvenient to some people but this is in the best interest of student safety. Should you walk your dog on school property outside of these hours, please remember to pick up after your pet.

Thank you!
