A MESSAGE FROM:
Vanderhoof Elementary School
2025-2026
Vanderhoof Elementary is a neighborhood school located in Arvada, Colorado, serving Kindergarten through 5th grade students. We currently have an enrollment of 350 students, including a Significant Support Needs (SSN) Center . Two years ago, our school welcomed approximately 150 new students due to a nearby school closure. Over time, our demographics have shifted. Currently, about 20% of our students receive special education services through an IEP , and 10% are multi-language learners . Approx…
imately 40% of students qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch , a percentage that continues to increase each year. Vanderhoof is proud to be rated as a Performance school according to the Colorado School Performance Framework. (For additional demographic information, please see our school profile .) Our staff is dedicated to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment where students thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. In partnership with families and the community, our goals focus on developing the whole child . Each year, staff and administration analyze state assessments, district data, and classroom progress monitoring to guide instructional priorities and set building goals. Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) meet regularly to collaborate, analyze progress every 6?8 weeks, and create targeted interventions and supports. In addition, monthly Kid Talk meetings ?as part of our MTSS process?help address both academic and behavioral needs. Through these structures, staff actively contribute to the UIP process. Our UIP is reviewed annually with the School Accountability Committee (SAC) and the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) , both of which include staff, parents, and community members. These groups provide valuable feedback on school strengths and areas for improvement. Curriculum and Instruction: We are in our fifth year of Into Reading implementation and continue literacy-focused professional development, with a strong emphasis on the science of reading . In K?3, we are using HMH structured literacy, Heggerty and Orton-Gillingham (OG) strategies to build phonemic awareness/ phonic instruction. We will continue to dive deeper into targeted interventions and extension by implementing a WIN period to our master schedule. This is our Third year of Illustrative Math implementation (K?5) , with PLCs will continue lesson internalization refining instructional strategies and targeting interventions and extensions to meet student needs. Whole Child Supports: We implement the Second Step SEL curriculum and utilize the SSIS universal screener to guide supports. Our MTSS toolbox continues to expand, with staff engaged in professional learning around Restorative Practices, Zones of Regulation, Executive Functioning, and Trauma-Informed Practices . At Vanderhoof, we are proud of our commitment to high academic standards while prioritizing the whole child . Our collective efforts center on ensuring every student is supported to learn, grow, and reach their full potential.
