Principal Notes
Hello Alpine Families,
Thank you so much for showing up strong for our Annual Fund Run! Not only did you contribute $42,907 to support special upgrades and programming for our school, but you also showed up strong for such a special event. We’d like to share a big huge thank you to our Alpine PTO for putting in so many volunteer hours to make it happen. Thank you especially to Shannon, Maura & Sarah.
We are also looking forward to our upcoming parent teacher conferences. Our goal is to reach 100% attendance because a strong home school connection is so important to our students success in school. We can’t wait to hear from you and share with you what your children are doing in school.
Gratefully,
Amber Marsolek EdD – Principal
Jennifer Dalby EdD – Dean of Students

Parent – Teacher Conferences
We are so excited for parent teacher conferences coming up. This is a great opportunity for you to see how your student is doing. Click here for Meet the Teacher. If you have more than one student you will need to sign in for each individual student using their student number. We look forward to seeing you.
Alpine Elementary School has been a big part of the community for 20 years, and few people embody that legacy quite like Leslie Cortez. A former student of the school, Cortez now serves as the Special Education teacher, returning to the place where her journey began. See the full story HERE>>>

Gifted and Talented Referrals
Each year, schools in St. Vrain Valley School District complete a process to identify students who demonstrate exceptional ability or performance in one or more academic and/or talent areas and may, therefore, qualify for Gifted/Talented educational services. These students usually perform at least two years above grade level in their strength area(s), and they require additional academic challenges in order to support their continued educational growth and progress. In addition, they usually demonstrate characteristics of unique creativity and high motivation in their strength areas.
Referrals are open through the month of September and will close on the last day of the month. Referrals after that date will be addressed on a case by case basis. Completing a referral guarantees a review of the student profile to determine if testing is recommended for the student. The process for identification requires a body of evidence and often takes place throughout the school year.
The process takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.
