Boulder Valley School District remains dedicated to educating each and every student and ensuring they and their family feel safe and welcomed, regardless of their race, gender identity, legal status or any other factor.

• BVSD will never ask for a student or parent’s citizenship or immigration status.

• If we learn of a student’s immigration status we would never share this with immigration officials.

Serving all students is not only one of our school district’s core values, it is a constitutional right. Our children are guaranteed equal access to education. We in the Boulder Valley School District believe every student should have the opportunities needed to be successful in whatever path they choose in the future.

Crest View Parent Feedback

We will continue to use the Parent Feedback Survey to monitor our delivery of the Crest View Vision and Mission.

Yearbook Cover Art Contest Results

Congratulations to Alex Aizenman in Miss Tessa’s 5th grade class for having her artwork selected as the cover of the 2024-2025 Yearbook! Thank you to everyone who contributed!

School lunch is free for all students this school year. However, by federal guidelines, a school meal must include at least three components to qualify as "free". We understand that some students who bring lunch from home may still want to have school milk or something from the salad bar and families may be confused when there’s a charge for these items. BVSD Food Services shares a simple way to avoid these extra charges by selecting the three required items for a meal. Read more: School lunch reminder: Pick 3 to make it free

CREST VIEW FLOAT - LIGHTS OF DECEMBER PARADE!

Downtown Boulder | Saturday, December 7th, 2024 | 6 pm

After an outstanding float in 2023, Crest View plans to participate again this year! An annual winter tradition in Boulder, the parade is a fun way to represent our school in the community while bringing OUR community together.

Volunteers have already begun planning, but the magic happens 12/7 from 11a-2p in the Crest View parking lot. Mark your calendars! Students and family members are welcome to walk in the parade and/or help with planning and building the float. Students, teachers, and staff have created decorations and graciously donated time and resources to this CV tradition since 2019. This year's theme is once again "Candy Cane Village"! Gear up in your best red and white decorations, outfits, costumes or better yet wear your Crest View school gear. Crest View is Float #13

More info to follow regarding specific volunteer opportunities. Questions can be sent to Chris Angelovic: parade@rocv.org

ATTENTION 5th GRADE PARENTS!

It's hard to believe your student's tenure at Crest View is coming to a close -- it’s time to submit a 'Younger Years" photo for the yearbook.

We'll have a page for each 5th Grade class, featuring numbered baby/toddler photos of each student in no particular order. Names and corresponding numbers are upside down at the bottom of the page, so it’s like a guessing game of who’s who.

GUIDELINES:

• Submit one high resolution digital photo (minimum 300 dpi) per child (birth to 5 years is ideal).

• Email your photo to yearbooks@rocv.org - please include your child’s name and teacher!

• If you don’t have a digital file, please consider scanning your paper photo (or taking a picture with your phone of your paper photo) and emailing it.

• If you have any issue with emailing your picture or any questions, please contact Jessica Soderberg at yearbooks@rocv.org and we will find a solution.

• Photo deadline is Friday, December 20th!
