August 15th Newsletter

Nutrition Services is excited to share that all students will continue to receive one free breakfast

and one free lunch each school day during the 2025–2026 school year regardless of a student’s

free or reduced eligibility. For more support like access to Education Benefits Form, please contact Nutrition Services at nutrition_services@svvsd.org or 303-702-8409.

If you are taking an FRCC course at EHS this semester, classes will begin next week.

Student success is directly tied to regular and punctual attendance. Students who have good attendance generally achieve high grades, enjoy school more, and have postsecondary success. We will be tracking unexcused absences and tardies on a weekly basis, and students who have 4 or more unexcused absences or 5 or more unexcused tardies to class in a one week period will be assigned an after school detention.

Our goal at Erie High School is to have Every Student, Every Day Thrive. We want to partner with you to ensure your student uses their technology to enhance their learning. Here are some strategies and supports you can do to achieve that goal as well as our district’s healthy media tips.

Turn off Notifications - This should definitely be done during school hours, but is also helpful during homework and family time.

Set School Mode - Limiting a student’s access to technology during the day can help them focus and not be drawn into distractions.

Set Phones to Grey Screen - This eliminates many of the flashing lights and color and causes the phone to be less appealing.

Family iPad Restrictions - Use district guidelines and supports to set iPads up for success at home.

Set Up for Success - When possible, technology should be out of bedrooms and not used an hour before bed. Technology can keep students up if in their rooms and prevent students from getting much needed sleep. Have a place where technology can “live” and charge that is consistent for families, and use that designated space to keep technology use intentional, rather than accidental.

iPad insurance is available to all families for $25 dollars for the year and covers a wide range of situations. This can be purchased through the fees section of Infinite Campus or come in and we can help you.

You are invited to volunteer in the EHS library! EHS has a new librarian and a lot of new projects to improve the library as a resource for all students. We welcome volunteers who are interested in working with our collection (processing new books, shelving, weeding old books), creating displays, and/or supporting fundraising efforts and programming. If you are interested in learning more, please email kaplan_rebecca@svvsd.org. Thank you!

We commit that each and every student will be recognized for their unique talents and aspirations, and receive an exceptional PreK-12 experience in St. Vrain Valley Schools in order to graduate with a strong competitive advantage.
