Erie Elementary School’s Weekly Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians,

What a great start to the school year we have had! Today our kindergarteners joined us and Monday we will have our whole Tiger family together when Pre-K students start. It is always a fun adjustment period for me as I see your kids in their new classes and grade levels and they are so proud to be in the next class up.

We hope to see you all at Back to School Night on the 20th. The sessions will be 5:00-5:25 and 5:35-6:00. You can attend either section. Have a wonderful weekend and we look forward to our first full week next week!

St. Vrain’s District Technology Services has made several updates to student iPads for the upcoming school year to support a focused and secure digital learning environment both at school and at home. One key update is the implementation of a new internet filter, Securly, which adds an extra layer of protection to iPads by blocking certain types of websites.
