Happy Friday!
After the consistent decline of COVID-19 in Boulder and Broomfield counties since the Omicron variant surge in January and February, we are again experiencing a rise in cases. Please see this COVID Message from BVSD for more information.
May 10th was National Fentanyl Awareness Day. On the afternoon of May 10th Parents and high school students received a district-wide message with important information and resources about this growing fentanyl public health crisis. For more information see the following links:

Our Sources of Strength Peer Leadership Group will be giving a school wide presentation on the opioid epidemic and Narcan, the drug used to reverse overdoses, on Monday May 16th during Advisory periods.
GOOD NEWS! BVSD is expanding College Before Graduation opportunities through Front Range Community College. Deadline to submit paperwork is May 17, 2022. These are college course sections offered exclusively to BVSD High School students. Tuition, books, and fees are at no cost to the students. Here is a listing of what is being offered for Summer and Fall of 2022. Students may prefer these sections over sections taught on the FRCC campus because:
Books and fees will be covered. For regular FRCC sections of these courses, families are responsible for the costs beyond tuition.
Rigor and expectations are the same, yet students are taking the course with high school peers.
During the summer, the times will be during the day. For Fall semester, the times will be outside of normal high school hours.
Sign up at this website. For additional college course offerings, on-campus or online, visit www.frontrange.edu.
If you have any questions please reach out to CareerandCollege@bvsd.org.
Have a great weekend!
