It is time to start getting ready for the Black Rock Elementary Spelling Bee! The first round of the Spelling Bee will be a written spelling test. Second, third, fourth, and fifth graders will take the test with their classroom teacher during the weeks of January 8th – 19th. Kindergarten and first-grade students who wish to take the pre-test will be given the opportunity to test at 8:45, Monday, January 22nd, in Mrs. Blick’s portable. All students will be given the same first-round test created with words from the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2023-2024 Study List. The test will consist of words from the attached list of words for first through eighth grades. The final round will be a traditional Spelling Bee held after school on Monday, February 12th. The winner of our school’s Spelling Bee will go on to the Scripps Colorado State Spelling Bee in March.

Standard Response Protocol
Thank you for being such an important part of our community and providing a strong foundation for student success at Black Rock. In St. Vrain Valley Schools, student safety has always been a priority and we have taken many measures to ensure the highest levels of security and preparedness in our schools.
One area that St. Varin has always been extremely proactive with is our approach to practicing our emergency responses with students through drills and other safety measures. Attached is a parent handout that provides information on the Standard Response Protocol (SRP).
