Safety and Security

​Students need to feel safe to be able to learn. Boulder Valley School District is committed to the safety and security of each of the more than 30,000 students and staff using our facilities each day. The Security Department for the Boulder Valley School District operates 24 hours a day year round, including weekends and holidays. Security agents patrol schools after hours and on weekends.  

BVSD provides a number of resources and programs aimed at protecting student personal safety and preventing children and youth from initiating or engaging in harmful behaviors including harassment. Please see the BVSD Safety and Security website for additional information and resources.

Communication & Safety

District Communication Protocol (lockdowns, lockouts, etc.)

Boulder Valley School District is committed to keeping the school communities safe. We know that before learning is possible, our students and staff must feel secure. As in past years, our Safety and Security team is working with schools to ensure that the Standard Response Protocol is being followed and that schools practice what to do during an emergency. BVSD is committed to informing parents and guardians about a crisis as soon as possible and then providing updates as needed.

Communication During an Emergency

When a school is placed in lockout, lockdown, evacuation or shelter in place, BVSD will send an Emergency Alert via phone, text and email messaging. These alerts will be short, simply letting you know of the situation. BVSD will follow up as soon as possible with additional details or to let you know that everything has returned to normal.  Learn more at www.bvsd.org/parents-students/be-ready  For these alerts to be effective, please be sure your contact information is correctly updated in Infinite Campus.
