Lately, I have been communicating a lot about the pandemic, which has caused great uncertainty and loss in our country. This week we are mourning something new – the wrongful and horrific death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the subsequent fury of a nation against the blatant racism and violence that has been far too common for too long.

Our task force is continuing their work, planning for students to return to learning this fall.

Today, students and teachers will be saying their good-byes, but it won’t be like any last day of school that any of us have ever experienced. In this era of COVID-19, there will be no hugs and those tearful moments will be held, not in the classroom, but through digital screens.

While the pandemic has delayed BVSD’s graduations, it did not keep our community from coming together virtually and, in some cases in socially-distanced displays, to show their appreciation of the Class of 2020 during BVSD Senior Week.

During this time of uncertainty, we are asking Boulder Valley School District Families to help us get a better picture of next fall’s enrollment. Families with incoming kindergartners are encouraged to enroll as soon as possible. 

Meanwhile, all returning families in BVSD, please fill out the Annual Data Update as soon as it becomes available in June.
