Please join us in the Monarch High School Auditorium for this important community presentation on fentanyl and get resources to keep your teen and family safe. Please contact school nurse jennifer.kerker@bvsd.org for more information or for questions or resources related to substance use and abuse.

Anniversaries of traumatic events, especially combined with holiday seasons, can hold a lot of emotional stress including but certainly not limited to sadness and anxiety. Although there is no one right way to heal, here are some helpful ideas:
Recognize and acknowledge feelings you may experience. Understand that your feelings are part of the recovery process. Give yourself permission to be at different stages in the recovery process.
Find healthy ways to cope with your distress. Share memories and feelings with someone you trust or just spend time with friends and family. Activities that allow your mind to focus on something other than these memories are a good coping strategy for some people. Contemplative activities like reading, thinking, or just taking a walk are also a good approach.
- Use your support system. Reach out to family, friends, and supports at school and work.
- Boulder County has created a Commemoration Website for those impacted by the Marshall Fire.
MROC Marshall Fire Recovery Center-The MROC Marshall Fire Recovery Center is a centralized location dedicated to expediting the access and delivery of disaster related support, services and resources to fire survivors in Superior, Louisville and Unincorporated Boulder County as they navigate the complexity of their recovery.
Many, many congratulations to the newest Monarch teacher to become credentialed to teach concurrent enrollment classes at Monarch through Front Range Community College – ASL instructor Melissa Peterson! In spring semester, all six of the American Sign Language classes Ms. Peterson teaches will be concurrent enrollment classes which means that all her students will have the opportunity to earn both BVSD graduation credits and Front Range Community College credits free of charge.
