Our Community Cares
Dear Fairview Community,
What an incredible week we've had at Fairview High School! From the beautiful sounds of our Choir singing to me on my birthday, to a wonderful Coffee with the Principal session where we discussed exciting Grad+ opportunities, this week has been full of special moments.For reference, here’s a link to the slides Vanessa Carroll presented.
A particular highlight was our thrilling basketball rivalry game against Boulder High School. I am immensely proud of our students for making the event both memorable and exciting, while ensuring it remained a safe and respectful experience for our Fairview Knights community. Bravo to all involved!
I’d also like to remind everyone that the Winter Dance scheduled for tonight has been cancelled due to weather conditions.
As we look forward to the long weekend, I hope you all enjoy your Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday.
In honor of the day, I leave you with this quote from Dr. King:
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
Wishing you all a restful and reflective holiday.
Warm regards,
Dr. Scarlet Chopin
Principal, Fairview High School

We encourage all families with questions about Fairview Special Education to attend this evening. This is the best opportunity to get information about special education at Fairview High School.
Please join us on Wednesday, 1/22/2025, at 6:00 p.m. at Fairview High School to learn more about our special education services.

Reduce Emissions - Turn off Your Car While Waiting
BVSD buses turn off instead of idling while waiting for students. You can too! Because vehicle idling is a significant source of air pollution, BVSD has an operating procedure that prohibits buses and transportation support vehicles from idling for more than 5 minutes within any given 1 hour period.* Although it is tempting to keep cars and buses running, especially during colder weather, please turn off vehicles while waiting to pick up students. (*An exception to this is Food Service vehicles with refrigeration that need to remain on to maintain food quality).
Learn more about BVSD’s sustainability efforts on our greenBVSD webpage.

Reduzca las emisiones - Apague su vehĂculo mientras espera
Los autobuses del BVSD se apagan en vez de dejarlos al ralentĂ mientras esperan a los estudiantes. ¡Usted tambiĂ©n puede hacerlo! Debido a que el ralentĂ de los vehĂculos es una fuente significativa de contaminaciĂłn del aire, el BVSD tiene un procedimiento de operaciĂłn que prohĂbe que los autobuses y los vehĂculos de apoyo de transporte estĂ©n en ralentĂ por más de 5 minutos dentro de cualquier perĂodo de 1 hora.* Aunque es tentador mantener los vehĂculos y autobuses encendidos, especialmente durante el clima más frĂo, por favor apague los autos mientras espera para recoger a los estudiantes. (*Una excepciĂłn a esto son los vehĂculos del Servicio Alimenticio con refrigeraciĂłn que necesitan permanecer encendidos para mantener la calidad de los alimentos).
