Dear Nederland Middle Senior High School community,

This school year BVSD is partnering with Clinica Family Health to provide preventative dental services at our school. Dental services may include screenings, fluoride applications, sealants, and referrals for additional care not available at schools.

All students are eligible to participate and there is no cost to families. To receive these services for your child, please fill out the consent form (see below). No action is needed if you do not want to participate. If a paper consent form is completed, please return it to the school office.

Your student can enroll in the program at any time. However, for planning purposes, we would appreciate receiving the consent forms by Thursday, September 12th.

For questions regarding this school-based dental program, please contact:

The biology students created "camouflage" for moths to hide from the "predators" (teachers and upper classmen) that came hunting for them.

Biology students planning and conducting scientific experiments

In physical science this week, students learned how to convert measurements. Those that did a good job with their conversions were given ingredients to make fudge!

The physical science students made marble roller coasters. Here they are explaining the "features" of their roller coasters.

Our first PTA meeting of the year was last night and we had record attendance! Thank you to all of our new parents, teachers, students and coaches who came out and offered some great suggestions and new ideas!

FINANCIAL APPROVALS!

Ms. Newberg, Youth Leadership Academy, and Student Council representatives came to discuss Homecoming and PTA approved their request for $100 per grade for float supplies and candy to throw from their floats.

PTA approved Ms. Evans's request for a $1000 teacher grant to go towards student tuition costs for Thescon in December.

PTA approved a request for a $300 grant for the entire volleyball team to attend a Mindfulness Retreat. The request also led to a business sponsorship offer from Tadasana Mountain Yoga whose owner was in attendance!

HOMECOMING
STUCO has lots of fun things planned and much brainstorming came about to try and make this year’s Homecoming spectacular with ideas on how to engage the community! PTA will be heading up the pre-game BBQ so we need VOLUNTEERS! Please sign up for a shift here https://bvsd.helpatschools.com/schools/45/events/13905

Eligible students that turn 18 on or before November 5, 2024 are eligible to vote this fall! Additionally, eligible youth 16+ can pre-register to vote.

Easiest way to get registered:

1. Online at GoVoteColorado.gov (need either CO driver’s license or ID or last four digits of social security number)*
2. By mail, email, or in person (let us know if we can deliver or mail you some paper registration forms)

If you have questions about registration, please take a look at Boulder County’s voter registration page.

*Note: While youth can register online, they cannot check their registration online, due to privacy concerns of underage registrants. They can still register online if they are unsure if they registered and it will not duplicate their record. If they do want to check, they must do so in person at the Clerk’s office or at a Vote Center with a form of ID.

NMSHS is partnering with the Nederland Community Library (NCL) again this year! Every other Tuesday, the NCL Pop-Up Event will be at NMSHS during MS and HS lunches. Students will be able to browse and check out items from NCL including: books, magazines, DVDs, manga and more!! If your student doesn't have a Ned Library card, no worries! Applications will be available for students to bring home for parents to complete.

In partnership with the Colorado Department of Education (CDE), a team of researchers from the American Institutes for Research (AIR) is evaluating the state’s public education funding system and they want to hear from you.

They’re conducting a short survey, which only takes about 10 minutes to fill out.

The feedback you give will be used as they form recommendations to CDE – about how to best ensure equal educational opportunity for all students.

For the third year, the Boulder Valley School District will be hosting the BVSD Community Leadership Academy, in partnership with Parent Engagement Network. The program is an opportunity for parents and community members to deepen their understanding of the Boulder Valley School District and our work.

The third Community Leadership Academy cohort will have seven lunch-time sessions, one Friday per month, between October and April that will provide an overview of the district, deeper dives into BVSD’s academics and operations, plus additional sessions on building resilient families and communities.

Sessions will be 10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. at the BVSD Education Center located at 6500 Arapahoe Rd. Boulder, CO on the following dates:
