Code of Conduct
Dear Hygiene students and families,
Thank you for your partnership and supporting the academic growth, safety, and well-being of our students. Every year, St. Vrain Valley Schools prints an up-to-date version of the Code of Conduct for students and families to review. This important document guides students and school staff on what expectations for school conduct and the consequences for behaviors that fall outside of those expectations. It is important that families review this information every year and acknowledge their receipt and understanding of this document.
To this end, please click here to access an electronic version of the Code of Conduct for the current school year. After you have reviewed this information, all families must sign an electronic acknowledgement that they have received, read, and understand the information contained, including the Annual Notification to Parents/Guardians; Behavioral Code of Conduct; Rights and Responsibilities of Students and Parents; and Board of Education Policies book. To sign your electronic acknowledgement, please follow the steps described here.
Again, thank you for your continued partnership and support. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at 720-652-8021.
Sincerely,
Renee Collier
Estimados estudiantes y familias de Hygiene:
Gracias por su asociación y por apoyar el crecimiento académico, la seguridad y el bienestar de nuestros estudiantes. Cada año, las Escuelas de St. Vrain Valley imprimen una versión actualizada del Código de Conducta para que los estudiantes y las familias lo revisen. Este importante documento guía a los estudiantes y al personal escolar sobre las expectativas de la conducta escolar y las consecuencias de las conductas que no cumplen con tales expectativas. Es importante que las familias revisen esta información todos los años y acusen recibo y comprensión de este documento.
Con este fin, por favor haga clic aquí para acceder a una versión electrónica del Código de conducta para el año escolar actual. Después de haber revisado esta información, todas las familias deben firmar un reconocimiento electrónico de que han recibido, leído y comprendido la información contenida, incluida la Notificación anual a los padres / tutores; Código de Conducta de Comportamiento; Derechos y Responsabilidades de los estudiantes y padres; y el libro de Políticas de la Junta de Educación. Para firmar su acuse de recibo electrónico, siga los pasos que se describen aquí.
Nuevamente, gracias por su continua colaboración y apoyo. Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en ponerse en contacto conmigo directamente en 720-652-8021.
Atentamente,
Renee Collier

The program is especially beneficial for those who want to obtain a foundation in district operations and governance and become more active participants in St. Vrain Valley Schools.
Depending on the size of the applicant pool, all applicants may not be accepted into this year’s program. However, every effort will be made to ensure that every parent is provided an opportunity to become engaged in their school or district in some way.
If you want to learn more about our school district, meet a wide variety of district officials, share information with your school community and get to know engaged parents from schools across the district, we hope you consider applying for Leadership St. Vrain. It’s a serious commitment of time, but we believe it’s an invaluable learning opportunity.
