This summer 54 athletes will represent Team Colorado at the 2022 USA Special Olympic Games in Orlando, Florida. Two of the distinguished athletes selected to compete include Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) student Michelle Zhang (tennis) and BVSD alum Leigh Shafer (swimming). 

Boulder Valley School District’s Grad Plus program was built on the idea that every student should graduate from high school in BVSD with more than a diploma.

The health precautions we have in place in BVSD are the same recommendations that the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and our local public health agencies continue to stress: stay home when sick, test for COVID if symptomatic, vaccinate and isolate if you’ve tested positive.  

It only takes a tiny amount of fentanyl to be fatal and one of the most troublesome aspects of this situation is that it is believed that fentanyl is now being mixed into every type of drug being sold illicitly and you cannot see it, smell it or taste it – so many of those who overdose, have no idea that they are taking fentanyl. 

Most people do not know about the unique partnership that happens on every bus route that serves our special education and preschool students. Bus drivers are partnered with transportation aides that ensure that our most precious cargo is safely buckled up and cared for throughout the ride.

BVSD’s Facilities staff are organized into teams by area of expertise/responsibility: Buildings (managing building maintenance), HVAC (responsible for clean air and comfortable temperatures), Trades (plumbing, electrical, and life safety systems), Grounds (everything outside - landscaping, playgrounds, snow and ice removal, tracks, fields, irrigation, etc.), environmental (maintaining indoor environmental quality), and custodial (keeping it all clean and sanitized).
