School Announcements

The Boulder Valley School District takes all allegations of discrimination and harassment seriously. We continue to focus on improvements to our policies, reporting systems, practices, and education efforts—all with the goal of ensuring every BVSD student feels safe, welcomed, and a strong sense of belonging.

Read a statement from BVSD Superintendent, Rob Anderson.

From the beginning of our community engagement effort, our commitment was to listen before taking action. The values, priorities and perspectives shared by our community will help guide the difficult decisions ahead, as we consider how best to position BVSD for the future.

One message was clear: our community understands that declining enrollment presents real challenges and that maintaining high-quality educational experiences for students may require change. We also heard a strong desire to preserve what makes BVSD special—excellent teaching and learning, strong school communities, and opportunities for every student to thrive.

At a worksession this month, the Board of Education told staff and the community that it is looking to make big changes in order to be able to provide experiences identified as priorities during recent community engagement efforts.  

As school lets out, I want to take a moment to thank everyone for making this an outstanding school year. The Boulder Valley School District has a lot to celebrate as we kick off Summer Break. 

The Colorado Department of Education recently announced its annual awards for 2025 and 29 Boulder Valley schools were among those honored.

A traditional high school diploma signifies a student has achieved the basic requirements of course completion and state performance measures in math and language arts. This graduation season, many students have gone above and beyond the standard requirements of a diploma thanks to BVSD’s Grad Plus framework.

For kids at Nederland Elementary School, some of Boulder County’s best beginner mountain biking trails begin just steps from the classroom door. Through the Ned SHRED MTB program, those trails have become a place for adventure, confidence-building, and a connection to nature for students in second through fifth grade.

This month, 51 BVSD seniors will proudly wear natural cotton cords and medals made of sustainably sourced wood at their graduations, signifying they earned the Seal of Climate Literacy. 

“The SCL is a perfect fit for BVSD students, since it naturally aligns with our greenBVSD efforts. It also leverages Grad+ (BVSD’s career and college readiness framework) and BVSD partner relationships,” BVSD science coordinator Erin Greenwood explained. “We are committed to creating opportunities for every student to graduate with climate literacy and college and career readiness.”
