Supplies & Fees
According to Colorado statute, students may be required to bring specific, necessary supplies for their own use in the classroom and to procure supplies and equipment required to carry on the musical, dramatic, athletic, and equivalent programs of the district.
Each year, the Boulder Valley School Board authorizes a list of fees for materials used in certain classrooms. Some of the fees are optional while others are deemed necessary for participation in particular classes. Notice of these fees is given in course descriptions or by the teacher within the first few days of class.
Miscellaneous fees may also be collected to cover the cost of entrance, meals, and lodging for field trips. The cost of particular requested services (such as copies of transcripts, college searches, AP exams, postage, directories, handbooks, newsletters, etc.) may be passed on to the student.
FEES MAY BE WAIVED FOR STUDENTS QUALIFYING FOR FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH. INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE HERE

Distance Learning (DL) - We offer and receive a variety of different classes for study via Distance Learning (DL). We have a classroom/defined space outfitted with advanced technology to offer classes to students at remote sites. There is a possibility that if your student requested one of the following classes, the class might be taught in the DL room by one of our school based staff, and students from other schools will be in the class via video, audio, and computer technology. Additionally, we are able to offer classes via Distance Learning, that are offered by other schools. Please know that these classes are offered during specific periods, and might conflict with your other course requests. A request for a specific DL class does not guarantee that you will be placed in the class.
