COVID-19 Updates and Lifelong Virtual Learning
In response to the COVID-19 closures, all kids, teens and adult students have received 100% refunds for cancelled sessions.
We are adding new Virtual Learning classes every week including content for kids, adults and families. Once you sign up for a class, your instructor will email you with login information and other details.
As of now we are still planning to run BVSD Summer Camps for kids and teens in our schools and other off-site locations. If the shutdown continues beyond Memorial Day, we will revise our schedule and add online camp options.
Who can take Lifelong Learning classes?
Where are your classes held?
Currently most of our adult and child classes are offered virtually.
Normally, Lifelong Learning classes are hosted at BVSD schools outside of school hours. Some classes are also hosted at artist studios or instructor facilities. In addition to many locations across Boulder, classes are also held in eastern Boulder County from Broomfield to Longmont.
Who teaches Lifelong Learning classes?
Providing Childrens' Medical and Behavioral Needs Information
The Lifelong Learning staff takes all precautions to ensure the health and safety of the children at our classes and camps. Before your register your child for a class or camp, please email lifelong.learning@bvsd.org with up-to-date information about your child’s specific needs and concerns. All health information is kept confidential. Relevant information includes whether your child has:
- Medical issues (allergies, asthma, need for an epi-pen, diabetes, etc.)
- Behavioral concerns (Autism Spectrum, fears, other special problems)
We will work closely with the parents, school and program instructors to meet the requirements of children with special medical, physical or behavioral needs. However, if a child’s attendance would fundamentally alter the nature of a class or camp they may not be permitted to attend the program.

How does my child get to the enrichment class at the end of the school day?
We provide the school staff with rosters listing the students who are staying for Lifelong Learning after-school classes. Those rosters are then shared with the classroom teachers, who assist with transitioning their students to the class locations. For younger students who may need a little extra help with this transition, we suggest that parents connect with their child's classroom teacher and clarify the procedure.

How will I know if a class has been canceled by Lifelong Learning?
If Lifelong Learning cancels a class for any reason, or you will be notified by email and/or phone. Please be sure to check for messages! If snow/road conditions cause BVSD schools to close or cause students to be dismissed early, Lifelong Learning classes for adults and kids will also be canceled. In the case of inclement weather, please go to bvsd.org to look for a closure notice posted on a red banner at the top of the website.
Why would a class be canceled?
Lifelong Learning classes will be canceled if:
BVSD has closed schools or canceled after-school activities due to inclement weather or other unforeseen situation.
If an instructor becomes ill or has an emergency and needs to cancel or postpone a class.
Classes that do not meet minimum enrollment requirements may be cancelled.
Will a class canceled due to weather have a make-up day scheduled?
In the event of a BVSD Lifelong Learning class session cancellation due to circumstances outside of our control, every effort will be made to reschedule that session. If rescheduling is not possible, Lifelong Learning vouchers will be issued to each class member for the prorated value of that session.
