Summer is coming to an end for students in the St. Vrain Valley School District. The first day of school is August 15.

Here is a list of schools in the district and some important information for parents. The information for each of the schools was found on the individual school websites. If no information is listed it is because it was not listed on that school's website. Many schools sent out a newsletter welcoming parents.
