Courage & Character
Hello Fall River Fox Families,
Thank you for completing your “intent to return” for our office. This is the time of year when schools learn about our staffing budget for next school year. The intents to return help us to proactively plan for where our needs will be next year and where to assign our teaching staff and resources.
On this note, I’d like to share that Fall River is very fortunate to once again have a very strong enrollment projection for next school year. In fact, our enrollment is actually climbing. We will be adding a teacher to our staff to help meet the needs of a healthy and strong enrollment. I attribute this to our supportive family community and the great relationships we have built with you.
Thank you for always teaming up with us to support the success of all of our Foxes. We’re all part of something very special here at Fall River.
Onward and upward!
Quinn O’Keefe
Fall River Principal

Upcoming Drone Shows Celebrating the SVVSD Robotics Program
St. Vrain Valley Schools is proud to host the state robotics tournaments across three different weekends. This commitment to robotics is unbelievable and we appreciate Trail Ridge Middle School, Altona Middle School and Erie High School for being the host schools of the tournaments.
We are especially happy to recognize that both the student robotics leadership team and the student drone performance team are working together to create the best possible experience for everyone. The robotics leadership team has worked all season hosting tournaments across the district and now are able to share their expertise at the state tournaments. The drone performance team has created custom drone animations specifically designed to celebrate the world of robotics. Their collaboration and dedication are truly commendable.
As we celebrate our district-wide robotics program, we want to extend a special invitation to all school communities to enjoy these spectacular drone shows. It’s a truly unique and inspiring performance you won’t want to miss!

Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) Spring 2025
Schools in Colorado use standardized testing as a way to measure student’s academic progress and prepare students for life in the real world.
Mark your calendars! This year testing for 3rd-5th graders will occur between 4/8/25-4/18/25 (makeups 4/21-4/25).
Please keep these dates in mind when planning in the Spring. Minimizing students absences and tardies during this time is extremely helpful.
