Happy Friday, Coyotes!
What an incredible week! This morning we had our Class of 2023 Graduation walkthrough in the gym followed by the Senior slideshow and the Senior Gauntlet! This is an incredibly emotional event for our staff and students as we bid them a final farewell from the halls of Monarch High School.
An enormous thank you to Ms. Cawlfield and Mr. Abbott for all your work with MoHi 360 and today’s Senior Gauntlet! This event is four years in the making and it will be a day our seniors will never forget! Also a big thank you to Mr. Tolbert for getting his work in setting up all of the AV equipment for the senior slideshow! This morning would not have happened without you!
Tonight we will celebrate the Senior Class of 2023 with a commencement ceremony at 7:00 PM @ 1st Bank Center in Broomfield at. Congratulations to all of our seniors…..YOU DID IT!

TITLE IX STUDENT COUNCIL
The BVSD Student Title IX Council is accepting applications for the 2023-2024 school year! The Council is comprised of students who are interested in collaborating with the District regarding issues of sexual violence, harassment and gender discrimination. Students participating in the council complete Title IX related projects and play an advisory role to the District with a shared goal of elevating student voices and leadership. High school students that are interested in working on the prevention of sex-based harassment and violence at school, who are looking to utilize their leadership skills, and who are passionately committed to this long-term process of change in culture and breaking stigmas around reporting are encouraged to apply here! The Council welcomes all students, regardless of their level of knowledge on Title IX.

SENIOR 1:WEB STUDENTS

This will happen in June after grades are finalized and your graduation is recorded in Infinite Campus. We do not need the device for this because the software is removed remotely.
