Back Together BVSD. Back to School in BVSD will be new territory for us all, but we are ready to thrive & persevere, together

During this pandemic that struck Boulder Valley in March 2020, BVSD stood out for its leadership and tireless work to support students. As we embark on a new school year we are continuing to lead the way, offering improved remote learning and equitable services to meet the needs of all of our students and families.

Back to School during a pandemic

The Boulder Valley School District returned to school in remote learning. Our educators and students made the best of this unusual start to school. Teachers have worked to improve Home Learning, making it more engaging and increasing communication with parents.
 

Equipping students for the new school year

School supplies were given out to students in need during Impact on Education's annual Crayons to Calculators school supply drive.

Supporting students every step of the way

Our caring educators miss the daily interaction with our students, but they found new ways to connect with families, providing support and encouragement to both students and parents alike.

Ensuring families didn't go hungry during the crisis

When schools closed to in-person learning in March 2020, one of the first concerns was ensuring that our students who depend on free or reduced-cost breakfast and lunch didn't go hungry. Our Food Services team, however, went further, creating food bags to ensure that entire families were fed during the crisis. Plus, our community liaisons worked to ensure that these meals got to families who couldn't make it to the distribution point.
 

Impressively responsive tech support for remote learning

Technology plays an essential role, when a school district moves to remote learning. In BVSD, our Information Technology department was up to the challenge, working tirelessly to ensure that students not only had technology and internet connections -- but that they and their families could count on solid tech support.

Navigating a new mode of learning

With only one week of preparation, BVSD teachers made a tremendous transition to Home Learning. It was an entirely new mode of instruction and learning that required having teachers learn how effectively teach over Google Meet, as well as shooting and editing educational videos.

Equipping students for remote learning

BVSD moved quickly to provide each and every student with a Chromebook. Behind the scenes, that meant a lot of work in preparing the computers and ensuring that the distribution kept everyone safe during the pandemic.

Backpacks filled with supplies and lessons

While COVID-19 had closed our schools, our goal during the early days of March was to keep students engaged and learning. Knowing that many families did not initially have technology and internet access, BVSD staff got to work, building backpacks filled with supplies and age-appropriate educational activities.

 

 

Student-First Response

BVSD's employees jumped into action shortly after the pandemic struck Boulder Valley. While school buildings were closed, they were there ensuring that students were cared for.

Prepared for the New School Year

The Boulder Valley School District has built a comprehensive 5-phase Back Together BVSD reintroduction plan that is flexible enough to meet any challenge we might face during this pandemic.
