Dear Beaver Valley Elementary School Families,
Each year, Colorado schools receive performance ratings based on state testing results, including CMAS, SAT/PSAT, and ACCESS (English Language Proficiency). For high schools, ratings also take into account graduation rates and the percentage of students pursuing college, career and technical education programs, or military service.
This year, Beaver Valley Elementary School has been identified for support and improvement under Colorado’s state accountability system. Our school will focus on enhancing performance and growth on the state assessments administered in Spring 2025. We received a Priority Improvement rating due to low performance in academic growth and achievement in both math and English language arts, based on the state assessments from Spring 2019. To address this, Beaver Valley staff will collaborate with families and community members to develop a comprehensive improvement plan.
As we embark on this important journey, we invite you to join us for a public information session hosted by our School Accountability Committee. This session will provide an opportunity to learn more about the identified needs at Beaver Valley and discover how you can contribute to our improvement efforts. We encourage you to participate and share your insights during the planning process.
Please join us on August 19th and/or September 16th from 4:00 - 5:00 PM in the Beaver Valley Library as we come together to learn and plan. If you are unable to attend, rest assured that additional opportunities to provide input will be available throughout the improvement planning process.
Our School Accountability Committee will also hold a meeting on September 16th at 4:00 PM in the Beaver Valley Library to gather input for the development of our improvement plan. The final plan will be reviewed by our school board on September 16th, at 5:40pm, at Beaver Valley.
