Bonsall Virtual Academy 9/27/2024

Message from the Principal:

This week was a short one due to our teacher professional development on Monday. Our staff participated with the entire district learning how to better support our English language learners and Native American students.

We had language arts interventions for our elementary students on Wednesday. Students worked with Ms. B and Mrs. Calabrese on letter/sound identification, rhyming words, blending/segmenting and reading fluency.

Additionally, our next field trip is coming up fast to Bates Nut Farm. Please turn in your permission slips, lunch slips and $11 by Thursday, 9/26 if your child will be joining us! The field trip is Thursday, October 3rd. We depart at 9:00 and return at 1:00 p.m. Please remember to wear comfortable clothes, bring water and a lunch if you are not getting a school lunch.

Reminder:

Students who are on track in their classes, attend their daily or weekly zoom and come in person can earn raffle tickets. Every week, we draw raffle tickets for the elementary and middle/high school students. Students can select raffle prizes from the prize box, get free Nessy burger items such as shakes, fries, and burgers, Starbucks gift cards or Target giftcards. Our student shout out section below will have our raffle winners listed.

Reminder:

Students are able to come in-person to work and receive support from our very talented staff between 8:30-3:00 M-F. Students can come for a short period of time or stay longer.

Attendance message from Student Services

Bonsall Unified School District is excited about placing a district wide focus on student attendance. Consistent daily attendance allows our teachers greater opportunity to maximize student learning in reading, writing, and math skills. These academic skills are critical for student growth and development.

Our aim is to eliminate unexcused absences in our schools and also to minimize excused absences, as much as possible. Therefore parents will be notified and alerted through the U.S. Mail when their child has unexcused absences at Day 3, Day 6, and Day 9. There are various interventions the school and district will employ in order to support the student and family with unexcused absences. Also, we are hopeful that families will value the alerts that will be sent at Day 5, Day 10, and Day 15 for excused absences. We understand that many of these excused absences are unavoidable due to sickness and other emergency student and family situations, yet it is important that you are reminded of the volume of days that are missed.

Thank you for your understanding and we are grateful that your family has selected Bonsall Unified School District as its educational home!
