The high school had a great time visiting universities across the Front Range. If your student is a senior and interested in attending any universities in Colorado, he or she can prepare now for free application days October 18-20. Encourage your student to continue working on the Common App application (including waiving their FERPA rights so that teachers can send in letters of recommendation). If your student would like assistance in anything from writing admissions essays to practice college interviews, email cook_rachel@svvsd.org.

Update From The Kitchen:
The last couple years school lunch has been free for all students but now the federally funded universal free lunch program has ended. School lunch now costs money unless you qualify for free or reduced lunch.
If you need to fill out a free and reduced lunch application for the 2022-23 school year go to myschoolapps.com or you can get a paper application from the office.
If you are not sure if you qualify you can still fill out an application and you will get a letter from the district letting you know if you qualify.
FYI: If you were approved for the free or reduced lunch program last year, and you have not yet filled out a new application for this year, your free and reduced lunch will expire at the end of September.
If you do not qualify for free or reduced lunch then the cost for lunch is $3.75 for PK-8 Students, $4 for High School Students, and $5 for Adults.To check the account balance or add money to your lunch account go to myschoolbucks.com.
You can view the lunch menu at https://stvrainnutrition.org/?page=menus
If you have any questions about lunches contact Alicia Howell at howell_alicia@svvsd.org

Twin Peaks Classical Academy is the top high school in the district according to the Colorado Department of Education. The state's School Performance Framework is considered the report card for public schools in Colorado which helps families determine which schools provide the best academic opportunities.
Considering we were also the top high school in the district according to the PSAT9 and the PSAT10, the only high school measure we did not receive the top score for was the SAT. Congratulations to Silver Creek for earning that mark.
We received three of the top four measures. Next year, we're going for the clean sweep.
Meet our Primo Preschool Team: Leslie Chrysler, Ashlee Teegardin, and Holli Linton! They work hard to make sure our tiniest tots get all they need to prepare them for Kindergarten!
