Requirements for Entrance

For students transferring from outside the Boulder Valley School District, the following information is also requested:

Special Needs

If your student has special needs due to a disability and requires special accommodations in the classroom, please notify the principal and every effort will be made to make the necessary accommodation(s).  If your student needs special accommodations in order to participate in any school activity, please notify the principal or the District’s Central Office at least two days in advance of the event so that appropriate arrangements for reasonable accommodations may be made.

Parent – School Communication

    Communication between parents, students and staff is vital to the team effort we employ to ensure a successful educational experience for your student at Heatherwood.  Parent-Student-Teacher conferences are held two times a year, in the fall and spring.  Parents may also request a meeting with their student’s teacher at any time during the year.  Many teachers utilize email in an effort to keep parents informed.

Our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) and the School Improvement Team (SIT) are groups that are key to our school’s success and effectiveness.  Both are open to all parents and community members and each group has Heatherwood staff representation.  This is a wonderful way to become an active participant in your child’s school and education.

Heatherwood’s newsletter, Husky Highlights, is published two times a month and comes home in the student folders (or via email at the parents' choice).  School happenings, dates and times of upcoming events, and pertinent community information will be noted in the newsletter.  In addition, periodically, flyers will be distributed to students noting important events or announcements.

Heatherwood Elementary also has a web page which may be accessed through the District website: http://bvsd.org.  Information on the website includes classroom schedules, a copy of the handbook, the latest edition of the newsletter, current events calendar and student work.
