From Doan's Desk...
It was great getting students back into the building this week. It is obviously a much different feel when we spend weeks doing administrative and professional development work as a staff in an empty building.
The students are clearly ready and excited for another year, which motivates and excites us as a staff. In my message this week, please be be sure to watch the video where I go over important policy implementation we have for cell phone expectations, hall passes, and bell-to-bell learning. We are aligning the policies of individual classrooms to make it more consistent and easier for students to know and understand what is expected of them. In every classroom students will see the “Mind’s On Classroom” posters and teachers are reinforcing the same rules and policies. This includes making sure our parent community knows the expectations so you can support us in making the focus during class periods to be on instruction and learning.
Thank you to everyone for your support and as always…Sko yotes!

Parents of Class of 2025-
Thank you so much for your generosity and donations to make the Senior Sunrise a success this morning. The coffee truck and food were appreciated and delicious. It was great to see so many seniors show up this morning to celebrate the start to what will be an amazing year! Also, you were all so generous that we even have enough to also cover the Senior Sunset at the end of the year. Thanks again!

Hello! My name is Dr. Kelly Isom, and I am proud to serve as the Grad Plus Site Lead at Broomfield High School and Monarch High School.

If you are interested in learning more about opportunities like concurrent enrollment (earning college credit during high school), the ASCENT program (offering eligible seniors that have earned 9 college credits one free year of college at FRCC, MSU Denver, or UNC), or the TREP program (for aspiring teachers to complete their first two years of college for free at FRCC or MSU Denver), please feel free to reach out to me via email at kelly.isom@bvsd.org
