Opportunities for Parent, Student, Staff and Community Involvement

  • Summer volunteer opportunity

The Boulder Valley School District is developing a handbook that will be mailed to all BVSD parents in August. The intent of the handbook is to provide easy access to information and resources that supports BVSD parents. Volunteers are sought to help prepare the handbooks for distribution in late August. If you're available to help or would like more information, please contact Fran Raudenbush, FRyanComm@aol.com.

 

  • Fall, 2008 - Spring, 2009

The Coordinated School Health Partnership (CSHP)

Formerly known as the Health Education Partnership Advisory Committee, the CSHP originally formed in 2001 to provide leadership in developing the K-12 Comprehensive Health Education curriculum.  In 2003, the Committee's name changed to Health Parntership Advisory Committee (HPAC) when its mission broadened to provide leadership for a Coordinated School Health Initiative.  The purpose of the initiative is to provide input to BVSD on student and staff health-related issues.  Membership including parents, teachers, students, community members and district administrators grew from twenty-five in 2001 to over ninety members in 2008.  The Committee changed its name to "Coordinated School Health Partnership" (CSHP) in 2008 and meets five times per academic year.
