May: Heading into Summer
New Family Welcome Team
The Friends of Peak to Peak office partners with all our K-12 Puma families to support our students and teachers while also building strong relationships within our community. Consider us your liaison to help you navigate the many ways your family can be connected with Peak to Peak in a way that is significant and meaningful to you. Our New Family Welcome Team is a treasured 20+ year tradition we have at Peak to Peak. This annual tradition matches up new families with current families to help provide information about the school, answer any questions, and generally help ensure your family's smooth transition into our community. We have many current families who are excited to meet you! Over the summer, you will be contacted by a veteran Peak to Peak family who will provide information about upcoming events (including a new family meet-and-greet), volunteer opportunities, and much more. If you have any questions before you hear from your family match, please know we are available to help and can be reached at p2p.friends@bvsd.org or (303) 453-4614. Additionally, please contact us if you would like to opt out of this program or not be contacted about non-school-organized events (summer picnics, birthday parties). If you are interested in learning more about Friends of Peak to Peak, we invite you to visit our website, where you will find information on our annual events and activities, fundraising campaigns, volunteer opportunities, and much more. We look forward to connecting with you soon!
Registration Instructions
Elementary:
Elementary Welcome Days & Registration: Each year in August, a few days before school begins, students meet with teachers for initial greetings, classroom visits, and the start of assessments. This allows students and teachers to get to know each other in small groups, gain familiarity with new classrooms, and significantly reduce first-day jitters.
Please sign up for one time slot during our Welcome Days of August 11-13, 2025. Plan for your student to be at school for approximately 1.5 hours. These days also serve as Elementary Registration Days, including school pictures and health room item drop-off, so plan to take care of those items either at the beginning or end of the time slot.
Please choose a time for the grade level your student will attend next year by visiting this sign-up page. The online system will send you a link via email, and you'll have the ability to reschedule your time slot should your plans change over the summer.
Homeroom placements for elementary school will be published in August, prior to the first day of school.
Secondary:
Secondary Registration will take place on August 6th, 2025. Additional information and instructions will be emailed directly to families on Friday, July 25th. We will also welcome our new secondary students back to school with a transition day. On Monday, August 11th, our 6th and 9th grade students will get to know other students and become familiar with the campus.
Athletics Registration
All secondary sports will open for registration on July 28th for the 2025-2026 school year. If you have students planning to participate in our athletic program, we encourage you to obtain a sports physical in advance to avoid any delays in the fall. Beginning in the 25-26 school year, only CHSAA Physical Forms can be accepted for athletic participation. Physicals can be emailed to Val Edwards (valerie.edwards@bvsd.org). More information about registration can be found on the website under Programs, Athletics, and Registration Information.
Summer Reading and School Supply Lists
Peak to Peak students in 6th through 12th grades complete summer reading assignments. At the secondary level (6th through 12th grade), the assignments are based on the courses the students will be taking in the fall. Some courses at the high school level require purchased texts, which are also listed. You can find the summer reading assignments by using the search bar on our website, or by visiting our Registration pages, and they're also linked here for your convenience:
Note: There are no summer reading assignments for rising 4th or 5th graders this year.
School Supply Lists will be included in the Registration email sent on Friday, July 25th. Most elementary supplies are covered by student fees. Some upper level courses may require additional supplies.
Peak to Peak Summer Camps
The elementary specials teachers (Ms. Domman, Coach Sena, and Ms. Roberg) are hosting week-long summer camps on campus this year! For more information and registration, visit our Elementary Activities and Clubs page. If your student is interested in Athletic Camps, Passion for Purpose Athletics has partnered with Peak to Peak to offer three sessions of athletic camps to rising Kindergarten-8th grade students. See below for more information. Register on RevTrak.
