Empowering Youth: SLV BOCES Transition Program Students Learn About Sacrifice and Service at Costilla County Veteran's Memorial Park

The San Luis Valley BOCES will be closed the week of March 18 for spring break.

Transition program students went to Creede, Colorado, to learn about the history of the town and experience its underground mining museum. Students enjoyed the beauty of the roadside. They were first-time visitors to the town, and they were genuinely impressed by the variety of minerals, rocks, and crystals at the museum

Merry Christmas from the Transition House staff and students!

Vacancy Notice......

Happy Holidays from the San Luis Valley BOCES family. 🎄

2023 Annual Fall Career Fair.
Thank you to all 68+ vendors who were able to come out and speak to our local school districts in the SLV about the different career opportunities offered here in our Valley. A huge shout out to the 13 out of 14 School districts for bringing students!! We had over 800 students come through.

A special thank you to the SLV Career Fair Committee for putting this on!

Students in the transition program were given a Virtual Reality simulator to help them with body coordination, balance, discovering new places, and, most importantly, immersive learning, realistic simulations for skill development, and increased engagement, making it a valuable tool for education, training, and experiential learning in a variety of fields.

Halloween party at the Transition House today!
