October Newsletter

Dear Main Street Community,

October has been a busy and exciting month at MSS! From celebrating learning in our classrooms to recognizing the hard work of our staff and students, we are proud of the growth and connections happening across our school.

As we move deeper into the school year, we are reminded of the importance of teamwork, positivity, and celebrating both the big and small wins. Thank you for your continued support and partnership—it makes all the difference in creating a thriving school community.

With gratitude,

Gina, Alyse, & Beth
MSS Admin Team

Fall conferences will take place this coming Tuesday, October 7 and Wednesday, October 8 from 3:30pm - 6:30pm each day. Please contact your student's teacher to schedule a time.

Please note: there is no school for students on Friday, October 10 and Monday, October 13. Enjoy your extended weekend!

St. Vrain Valley Schools invites families to attend Band Night on Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 6:00 p.m. at Everly-Montgomery Field in Longmont. The evening will feature performances from high school bands across the district, concluding with a drone show presented by the St. Vrain Student Performance Drone Team. This event is a great opportunity to bring students and the community together in support of local feeder high schools.

Admission is $6 for adults, $5 for students, and free for children age six and under. Eighth grade students will be admitted free with a valid student ID.

St. Vrain Valley Schools invites the community to donate gently used instruments during the Annual Instrument Collection Drive on Thursday, Oct. 2 from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. and Friday, Oct. 3 from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the Lincoln School Building. All donated instruments are cleaned, tuned, and repaired before being placed in classrooms or offered for student rentals, expanding access to music education across the district. Most instruments are welcome (except drum sets and upright pianos). Donors will receive a receipt from the St. Vrain Valley Schools Education Foundation.

Families who believe they may qualify for free or reduced-price meals are encouraged to complete an application by Oct. 1. While all St. Vrain Valley students receive one free breakfast and one free lunch daily through Colorado’s Healthy School Meals for All program, submitting an application provides additional benefits to families such as fee waivers, college exam discounts, and reduced internet and utility costs, and also helps bring federal funding to support classrooms, after-school programs, technology, and additional meals and snacks for students. Applications are available online or at Nutrition Services, 2929 Clover Basin Dr., Longmont.

Save the date: Monday November 10th! Please be on the lookout for picture order forms and additional information.

There are four main reasons for children and adults to stay home:

1. The child or staff member could infect others with a contagious illness, either because of symptoms, a diagnosis, or recent exposure to a contagious illness.
2. The child or staff member does not feel well enough to take part in usual activities. For example, a child is overly tired, fussy, or will not stop crying.
3. A child needs more care than teachers and staff can give while still caring for the other children.
4. The child or staff member has symptoms or an illness on this list, and staying home is required.

Please click below for additional information from the Colorado Department of Heath & Environment:

Every child needs to feel comfortable when they attend class. You can help by donating new or gently used clothing to the health office.

Clothing items in need:

• Girls and boys clothing size 6-10: shirts, leggings or sweatpants, shorts, sweatshirts, etc.
• Teen girls clothing sizes 12-16: shirts, lettings or sweatpants, shorts, sweatshirts, etc.

St. Vrain Valley Schools invites community members to the Support Staff Job Fair on Monday, October 13 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Opportunities are available across the district in roles including paraprofessionals, custodial services, transportation, maintenance, nutrition services, and more. Attendees will meet with district leaders, explore current openings, and receive support with the application process. St. Vrain offers competitive pay, excellent benefits, and the chance to positively shape the educational experience for students.

We are thrilled to celebrate Alexis Mitchell, our October Hero Award recipient at Main Street School!

Her dedication, patience, and creativity shine through in the way she supports her students each day. Alexis has quickly built strong connections, creating a classroom environment where students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.

We are so grateful to have Alexis on our team and can’t wait to see all the amazing things she will continue to accomplish. Congratulations, Alexis!

This month, we are excited to recognize Natalie Novelli as our Hero Award recipient!
