Nederland Middle-Senior HS Community,


I love the Thanksgiving break, mostly because I get to cook on Thanksgiving day. We are having family and friends get together, and we will eat good food and watch as much football as possible. Go Lions!


I hope everyone in our Nederland community has an enjoyable time. I have a few thanks to give out: 1) thanks to the teachers and staff for your hard work and dedication to our students; 2) thanks to the students for showing up and doing their very best: and 3) thanks to the parents for getting your students to school everyday, and a special thanks for another successful Harvest Feast, the food and hospitality were first class.


When we return from break we will have only three weeks until the winter holiday break. See the final exam schedule below.


Have a great Thanksgiving Break,


Gavan

Volunteer Help Requested

Some NMHS students require a little help with keeping track of their assignments and course expectations. You can make a huge difference by volunteering. We are seeking a few parents willing to meet individually or in small groups with NMHS students. Volunteers would meet weekly with students who are selected by our school counselor, Ms. Pries. Parents are not required to master content; they are just willing to support our students in knowing what is required, keeping a schedule that supports productivity, and a strategy to avoid forgetfulness or procrastination.

If you are a parent who would like to be part of this project, please sign up with the link. We will provide training and support. Thanks in advance.

Seal of Climate Literacy in BVSD Seal of Climate Literacy in BVSD

The greenBVSD Sustainability Team and the STEAM Team are excited to announce that BVSD will confer the Seal of Climate Literacy for graduating seniors this year.

  • The Seal of Climate Literacy, established through Colorado Senate Bill 24-014, is a high school diploma endorsement that connects educational knowledge with the real challenges and opportunities that climate change brings to each of our communities.

  • It offers students a chance to engage directly with issues that impact their local environment and communities through course work and hands-on learning in grades 6-12.

  • Attainment of the Seal of Climate Literacy illuminates the ways students in BVSD show their commitment to sustainability, the environment and climate literacy in our community.

Interested students in grades 6-12 should complete the Interest Form found on our new website: Seal of Climate Literacy - Boulder Valley School District

School lunch reminder: Pick 3 to make it free! School lunch reminder: Pick 3 to make it free!

School lunch is free for all students this school year. However, by federal guidelines, a school meal must include at least three components to qualify as "free". We understand that some students who bring lunch from home may still want to have school milk or something from the salad bar and families may be confused when there’s a charge for these items. BVSD Food Services shares a simple way to avoid these extra charges by selecting the three required items for a meal. Read more: School lunch reminder: Pick 3 to make it free
