We need your VOICE!

Posted January 19, 2023

As previously shared, we value the voices of all stakeholders in the BVIS community. To continue to honor this approach, we invite staff, students, parents, and community members to submit questions for Principal candidates to address in their virtual presentation ASAP by these methods below:
● Use the Community Input Survey (English/Spanish): bit.ly/BVISFeedback23
● Call the Office of Family & Community Engagement via phone at 720-423-3054
● Email the form below by Wednesday, January 18th by 10:00 a.m. to Brittany Barela at
Brittany_Barela@dpsk12.net

Below this letter is the revised timeline of the community involvement steps of the process. We will also engage in rigorous reference and data collection on all candidates.

We would like to reiterate that we know a leadership transition is difficult for staff, students, and families. Our focus will be to ensure we identify the best leader to lead Bear Valley for the remainder of this year and beyond. Thank you for your support as we work together during this transitional period.

Sincerely,
Hillary Niebauer
Director, Middle Schools
