Monitoring the Cal-Wood Fire

Dear St. Vrain Valley Community,

We have been closely monitoring the Cal-Wood Fire, in partnership with the Boulder Office of Emergency Management and the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, as the fire spread and evacuation areas are impacting several areas within our district community. Firefighting crews have done an outstanding job working to contain the northern and eastern spread of the fire, but we know that wildfires can be unpredictable and we must remain vigilant and prepared for any changes to the fire’s activity.

Safety is paramount for our students, teachers, staff, and community, and we strongly encourage families to closely follow the Boulder Office of Emergency Management recommendations regarding fire safety and evacuation alerts. Community resources and additional information about the Cal-Wood Fire can be found at https://www.boulderoem.com/emergency-status

Our hearts go out to anyone who has been impacted by this terrible event. Please know that we will continue to work closely with local and state authorities to provide whatever assistance is necessary to support our families and community. We will continue to update you as new information becomes available that impacts our schools. If you have questions or need support during this time, please feel free to contact me directly or your school principal.

Sincerely,
Don Haddad, Ed.D.
Superintendent

Estimada Comunidad de St. Vrain Valley, 

Hemos estado monitoreando de cerca el incendio de Cal-Wood, en asociación con la Oficina de Manejo de Emergencias de Boulder y la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Boulder, ya que las áreas de propagación y evacuación del incendio están impactando varias áreas dentro de la comunidad de nuestro distrito. Los equipos de extinción de incendios han realizado un trabajo excelente para contener la propagación del fuego hacia el norte y el este, pero sabemos que los incendios forestales pueden ser impredecibles y debemos permanecer atentos y preparados para cualquier cambio en la actividad del fuego. 

La seguridad es primordial para nuestros estudiantes, maestros, personal y comunidad, y recomendamos encarecidamente a las familias que sigan de cerca las recomendaciones de la Oficina de Manejo de Emergencias de Boulder con respecto a la seguridad contra incendios y las alertas de evacuación. Puede encontrar recursos comunitarios e información adicional sobre el incendio de Cal-Wood en  https://www.boulderoem.com/emergency-status

Nuestros corazones están con cualquiera que haya sido impactado por este terrible evento. Tenga en cuenta que continuaremos trabajando en estrecha colaboración con las autoridades locales y estatales para brindar la asistencia necesaria para apoyar a nuestras familias y comunidad. Continuaremos actualizandolos a medida que haya información disponible que afecte a nuestras escuelas. Si tiene preguntas o necesita apoyo durante este tiempo, no dude en comunicarse conmigo directamente o con el director de su escuela. 

Sinceramente, 
Don Haddad, Ed.D.
Superintendente
