New Vista High School's new building is more than just a structure—it’s a testament to the opportunities that arise from a shared investment in education. Thanks to the support of local voters, a new state-of-the-art facility for the students of New Vista became a reality.

Every day as students and staff make their way to Manhattan Middle School in Boulder, they are greeted by a simple handmade wooden sign that has the ability to turn frowns upside down. It is just one of several signs created by Sofia, her twin brother Blake and their nextdoor neighbor on the corner, Raj Rawat.

Our students learn best and are better connected socially when they are able to focus on academics and connections with fellow students. That's why BVSD is taking steps to be as distraction-free as possible by putting phones and other devices Away For the Day. Learn more about the new program and find answers to frequently asked questions.

BVSD asks families, students, staff and our surrounding community to protect everyone—especially in school zones—by keeping our phones out of our hands and our focus on the road. To make our roads safer and reduce distracted driving crashes, Colorado’s new hands-free driving law prohibits drivers from using handheld electronic devices while driving, including at stoplights.

Beginning this choice enrollment period, students of individuals who live outside of BVSD, but who work within the district's boundaries now qualify for our newest enrollment priority. 

To qualify for our Bright Futures priority, the parent or guardian needs to be working within BVSD's boundaries at the time of application and on the first day of the school year.

On Tuesday, November 19, the Boulder Valley School District Board of Education voted 6-1 to update the district’s cell phone policy. Starting in January, high school students will no longer be able to utilize their phones during school hours on campus, including during passing periods and lunch.
