BVSD is committed to ensuring our staff demographics are reflective of our students and community. We are committed to culturally responsive practices that challenge inequity and bias.
If you identify as a person of color and are interested in attending our inaugural Educator of Color Job Fair we would love to meet with you virtually! Space is limited and screening sessions will be approximately 15 minutes in duration.
The event will take place on Wednesday, April 21st from 4:00-7:00pm (MST). You will receive an email prior to the event with a specific time slot to join the Google Meet.

Unless there is a significant change in the situation, our secondary students will move to Phase 4 - In Person Learning four days per week on March 30, following Spring Break.
As we prepare to head off for Winter Break, I want to provide you with information about what you can expect in January, as Boulder Valley School District students not only return to class on Tuesday, January 5*, but back to in-person learning.
