Our goal is to get the word out to those in our community who may not know about our amazing school district, and we need your help with this effort.

That is why, three weeks from now, we are hosting a very special event called the BVSD is the Place to Be Showcase. 

This wasn’t exactly the easiest moment to become the executive director of Boulder Valley School District’s Early Childhood Education (ECE) department, but Dr. Emma Herzog has jumped in with both feet, supported by an outstanding team.

Not many kids can say they go to school in a Victorian-era school house, but Gold Hill Elementary School students can. This year marks 150 years of this unique learning environment for K-5 students. Since 1873, Gold Hill Elementary School has remained in operation, making it the oldest continually-operating school in Colorado. 

Late last month, a crowd of New Vista High School families, teachers, Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) Board members, District staff, and community members gathered to officially celebrate the start of construction for the high school’s new building.

On Wednesday, October 11, the Boulder Valley School District will be pulling all of its schools together, under one roof, for the BVSD Showcase. This is the first time BVSD has held an event like this before the open enrollment season, which begins on November 1.

You may have heard that BVSD is offering free meals for all students, but did you know that this applies to breakfast as well?  BVSD schools are offering free breakfast this year; ask your school when and where to get breakfast each day.

In today's complex and challenging world, it's crucial to address sensitive issues like suicide prevention for students in grades K-12. The BVSD Health Services team explores the importance of accessing resources within and outside of BVSD to ensure the safety and mental health of our children.

Jason Garcia has been a part of BVSD for almost 10 years. He began as a school custodian before transitioning into the Facilities department, where he is now the lead HVAC technician. Garcia makes an effort to build relationships with staff at different BVSD sites so he’s never considered a stranger in their building.

We are so excited to welcome everyone back for the new school year.

As you know, today was the first day of school for most of our elementary students, as well as students in sixth and ninth grade who are transitioning into middle and high school, respectively. Tomorrow we’ll welcome back seventh and eighth graders and high school sophomores, juniors and seniors. Finally, our youngest learners will start by next week.
