I felt so grateful over the Thanksgiving break when donations started arriving! Thank you so much!!.

Being able to provide hygiene and nonperishable food items to students is very rewarding and I couldn't do it without your donations. I have updated the list based on items we are fully stocked up on and only have items that we are still in need of- Thank you SO much for supporting the students at Monarch!

SENIORS! Are you thinking about paying for college?

We know many of you are applying to college, and part of that process is figuring out how to pay for it!

The first step is filling out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

The FAFSA has undergone some big changes in the last couple years causing some confusion.

Here is an article about the FAFSA and when you should apply.

• Seating is open, no tickets are needed for entry.
• There will be a live stream of the graduation ceremony.
• Seniors are allowed to decorate their cap for graduation.
• GradImages will be on site during our graduation ceremony to take photos of the students receiving their diplomas on stage. They will email proofs for purchase to families.
  
• CU Events Center Information and Policies.

Join me for free tours of FRCC Westminster (1/17), FRCC Boulder County (Longmont) (1/24), and Metro State University (1/31)! These tours will occur on three consecutive Fridays in January and are open to all interested BVSD high school students with preference given to students who have filled out an Intent to Participate form for ASCENT or TREP.

Tours start and end at Boulder TEC where we will collectively board BVSD buses, and your absence from school will be excused. Metro will feed us a free pizza lunch! Please fill out this survey if you’re interested.

Got questions? Email our school Grad Plus Site Lead on kelly.isom@bvsd.org

I want to share a great opportunity for students who are interested in the Seal of Climate Literacy - or cutting edge technology in science. In this class, students will explore cutting-edge topics such as decarbonization, biotechnology, nanomaterials, and renewable energy.

CU is offering CHEN 1000 Creative Technology course this spring. This 3-credit class will meet at CU on T/Th 3:30-4:45.

The usual cost of course is $1845. For students who complete the BVSD College Before Graduation process and authorize COF, the cost will be $989.70. Additional scholarships are available through the High School Access office at CU so that all tuition costs can be covered for those who qualify.

How to get approval and BVSD support
