New this Year:
To better serve our families and to support a more timely student placement, St. Vrain Valley Schools is offering families the opportunity to complete the district’s online pre-registration process prior to the state’s Universal Preschool (UPK) Application, which is currently expected to be available in February, 2024.
Benefits for Families Who Pre-Register for Preschool:
Families that pre-register in December will receive a notification of their placement status from St. Vrain Valley Schools by the end of January, 2024. Pre-registered families will receive ongoing support and communication from St. Vrain Valley Schools if they choose to navigate the UPK process.
Preschool Pre-Registration will begin on December 1, 2023.
