Monarch Messenger

So it is only the first full week of the second semester. My message last week was about finishing up finals and getting this semester started. However, it is already time for school administration and counselors to begin focusing on the 2026-2027 school year planning.

Last week, is when BVSD sent out the first round of choice enrollment acceptance to families. On February 5th, we host the 8th Grade Transition Night to begin prepping our incoming class of 9th grade students for registration. By the end of February, the counselors will be going to classrooms to talk to our rising 10th-12th grade students about their course selections for next year. All of this is to say, although we have a lot of things going on at school right now, there is always an eye towards what comes next.

Sko Yotes!

After receiving numerous comments about pedestrian safety for accessing the Monarch school campus, the Town of Superior, City of Louisville, and Boulder Valley School District are partnering to install a protected bike lane on 88th St to allow for safer and more comfortable travel along the corridor for school children and parents.

The bike lane will accommodate bi-directional biking, and the sidewalks will be reserved for people walking during school drop-off and pick-up. Vertical delineator posts will be used to separate the bike lane from the northbound vehicle travel lane and will reach from Promenade Dr up to Campus Drive.

Future plans for this corridor include applying for a Safe Streets For All grant to improve the bike lane permanently, tying in to paved paths at the Redtail Ridge development, and routing through a future underpass at Campus Drive.

This improvement is intended to help achieve the goals outlined in the Superior Transportation Plan and Superior Vision Zero Action Plan.

The spring parent book club will have their meetings in the school library from 6:00-7:30pm on these dates.

Hello MoHi Juniors and Parents!

It was great to see so many of you at our Junior Journey night presentation. We wanted to share our presentation slides with you. It is also posted on our counseling website, mohicounseling.com. The presentation outlines important information to know as a Junior going into your last year of high school.

We also want to encourage 11th grade students to sign up for a junior meeting with their counselor. Counselors will go over everything you need to know to get out of high school and reach your post-secondary goals. Parents are welcome to join as well. You can sign up by clicking on your counselor's name on the mohicounseling.com homepage and choosing a block of time.

If you have further questions please reach out to your counselor.

Thank you,

Monarch Counseling Team

Wondering what to expect in case of a weather closure in all or part of BVSD?

Under all but the most extreme conditions, school officials have a responsibility to keep school in session. During Colorado winters, snow and ice are to be expected. As always, BVSD respects a parent's decision to keep students home from school or delay their arrival due to weather conditions. Contact the school's attendance office and the absence will be excused.

* No notices means no closures or significant delays have been reported.

More information about weather-related school closings and cancellations.

If you know someone that is not receiving our communications, please share this information with them.
