Principal's Message
Dear West TV Families,
It's been wonderful seeing our students again this week! They have had a lot of stories to share about their experiences last week during the storm. The work to remove trees and limbs at the school has been happening all week and will continue into next week.
STEAM Night
We unfortunately had to cancel STEAM Night last week due to the winter weather and moved it to next week on Thursday, February 1st. The fun begins at 6:00pm. We hope you can come! There is no cost to attend.
Kalapuya Mural
The students in Kindergarten and 1st grade have worked with our artist in residence - Mark Brody - on their portion of the mural. The students have done a wonderful job! You can see a picture below of the artist working with Kindergarten students. Students in grades 2 through 5 will work with the artist in February and March.
Save the Date
Notice of Summer School dates for 2024. If you are interested in having your child attend summer school this summer, BSD will be offering sessions at all three levels (elementary, middle and high school) from July 1st - 25th (Monday - Thursday). More information will be coming soon.

Andy Owens passed away in 2017
