Enrollment

A:  If your family applied by the Open Enrollment deadline, expect to receive a "Notification of Acceptance" letter via email or US Mail from the Open Enrollment office on or before January 13.  Please make sure you add bvsd.campus.messenger@bvsd.org to your contacts and check your SPAM folder.  If you have not received a letter by mid-February, please contact the OE office, 720-561-5900.

A.  If your student applied late, your student will be placed on a wait list at the Open Enrollment Office.  Seats are offered on a space available basis, February through June and again in August.  We continue to interview and accept students until we are full.  For questions on when or if your student will be offered a seat off of the wait list, please call the Open Enrollment Office, 720-561-5900.

A:  All students who apply to New Vista will have a  family interview with one of our staff.

A.  New Vista is a School of Choice and all students who attend CHOOSE to.  The purpose of the interview is to determine if New Vista is a good fit for your student. 

A:  In the "Notification of Acceptance" letter (email) your family receives from Open Enrollment, there is a link to sign up for the interview.  It is a simple form that asks a few questions so we know a little bit more about your student.  You will receive a call shortly after completing the form to set up your interview.  Interviews will take place starting early February through mid-March.  Expect the interview to be during the school day, and it will take about an hour.

A.   After your student's interview, your family will be sent an email from New Vista to confirm your student's intent to enroll.  A link to our electronic "Confirmation of Acceptance" form will be included in the email.  Please click on the link to complete the short confirmation form.  Once we receive your electronic acceptance reply, we will choose an advisor for your student and invite your student to a course selection date.  It is important to complete the acceptance ASAP, as we have students on a wait-list. 

If your family decides that New Vista is not a good fit for your student, you can decline the seat and your student's enrollment will be restored to their neighborhood school (for in-District students).

A.  You will receive a letter in March detailing our course selection process and notifying your student of their course selection date. New Student Course Selection will take place in April. Please check our calendar for specific dates.  Students will meet with their Advisor to select courses for next year.

A.  Out of District students apply through Open Enrollment the same way.  However, for students new to BVSD schools, the Open Enrollment process is not complete until you complete the OLR (Online Registration) process.  The link to the application will be included in the Notification of Acceptance letter (email) you receive from Open Enrollment.  For this online application, you will be asked to upload supporting documents to the accepted school to complete enrollment.  You will be given more information about these steps once your student is offered a seat

A.  We will host a New Student Welcome Night in late April.  Please visit our calendar for exact date.  All new students will be invited to attend.

A. Students interested in transferring to New Vista after the school year begins will need to complete an Administrative Transfer application.  The preferred window for transfer students to apply to New Vista is after September 15 and prior to Thanksgiving Break for a January start. 

New Vista accepts current 9th and 10th graders as transfer students. 
Due to the nature of our program, students who are current juniors or seniors are no longer eligible to transfer. 

Since New Vista is on a Quarter System and a Block Schedule, every day, the content covered in a New Vista class is equivalent to two days at a semester-based high school.  Therefore, it makes the most sense for a student to complete their course work at their current school and start at New Vista at the beginning of a new semester in order to maximize the number of credits that will transfer.
