Art for the Sky
Art for the Sky

Heatherwood's E-STEAM school initiative launched this year with Art for the Sky, an interactive art experience.

Together with artist Daniel Dancer, our entire school community united to create this image of a columbine. Through Art for the Sky, students employed STEAM-based skills to plan and outline the state flower, and PK-5 students and staff joined in the creation of human artwork. The process was captured on video and in photos, illustrating how our impact on the world is greater when we work together as a community. 

The entire experience of Art for the Sky was moving and memorable for both students and staff, an incredible start to the 2025-26 school year.

Bullying incidents trend down for third consecutive year, according to student survey

Student reports of bullying have declined for the third consecutive year, reaching a new low of 15.9%. The data show a 6.1 point decrease in the percentage of students reporting being bullied over the last three years. Another highlight is that we had equitable progress as this downward trend was reflected across all racial and ethnic student groups. This is a testament to our schools daily commitment to classroom management, social emotional learning, bullying prevention implementation, and relationship-building. Learn more about bullying prevention programs in BVSD as well as how to make a report.

Keeping Kids at the Center: Meet BVSD’s New Deputy Superintendent

“In every role I’ve had,” she said, “I’ve tried to keep kids at the center."

The choice of Dr. Nativity Miller to become Boulder Valley School District’s next Deputy Superintendent brings both an opportunity for continuity and change.

Continuity in the sense that Dr. Miller has helped shape nearly every major academic and strategic effort in BVSD over the past eight years. Change in the sense that her new role expands her ability to influence the district’s future at a critical moment for public education.
