ParentSquare
ParentSquare: Our New District Communication Tool
St. Vrain Valley Schools will begin using ParentSquare, a new district communication tool that allows families to receive notifications based on their preferences. St. Vrain’s communications team will pilot ParentSquare for the remainder of the school year with the plan to expand access to schools at the start of the 2026-27 school year. We’re excited about the opportunities ParentSquare offers to streamline communication and will be working towards consolidating several of the tools families currently use into one convenient platform.
After spring break, parents and guardians will receive an email invitation to activate their ParentSquare account. This will allow families to download the mobile app, set language preferences, and choose how and when they receive notifications.
Visit the district website to learn more about ParentSquare.

We support you!
Did you know that Erie Middle uses a data-based approach to support student mental health at school? Twice per year, all students complete a confidential survey where they identify if they would like additional support from a school counselor or if they would like to be a part of a support group. Support groups are short term (4-6 weeks) small groups that meet once per week during Advisory. These groups create a structured setting in which students learn and discuss new skills about topics such as managing stress, navigating friendship issues, and gaining more confidence. The groups and surveys are facilitated by our Mental Health Interventionist, Ben Knighten. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to him at [email protected].
988 Colorado Mental Health Line
A new state law requires schools to share information about the 988 Colorado Mental Health Line. The service provides free, confidential support 24/7 from trained specialists through calls, texts, or live chats. Families can learn more by visiting 988Colorado.com.
