About Open Enrollment
The Board of Education supports a variety of high quality educational programs. Students may...
- attend their district designated neighborhood school (based on home address)
- open enroll to another neighborhood school
- enroll in a focus school (meets BVSD standards but may have a different curriculum or philosophy)
- enroll in a charter school (an independent school) within the district
Through open enrollment parents/guardians may choose to enroll in a school outside of their neighborhood as long as there is sufficient programming, staff and space at the school. Parents/guardians who reside outside BVSD may open enroll their children into this district -- currently about 800 of Boulder Valley's students are from neighboring districts.
Before completing an open enrollment form, parents/guardians should get information about the schools to which they are applying so that they are informed about the program. Some schools/grade levels may have no spaces to offer.

Who Can Attend Bear Creek?
As a public focus school, Bear Creek accepts enrollments from both inside and outside Bear Creek's attendance area. (Incoming kindergartners must be five years of age by September 30.)
If you live inside the attendance area, your child is guaranteed enrollment at Bear Creek. Please stop by the school office or call (720) 561-3500 to receive registration forms.
If you live outside the attendance area, you can participate in the "Open Enrollment" process. Bear Creek accepts open enrollment students on a space-available basis. See BVSD's Open Enrollment page for further information.
