Bonsall Virtual Academy 2/7/2025

Hello BVA families!

We have our next art day with Carissa scheduled for Wednesday, February 12th at 10:30. We hope you can join us and stay for a school lunch.

We will have a Valentine gift exchange/party on Friday, February 14th from 11:30-1:00. Please make sure to rsvp so we know how many Valentines the students should bring. Families are welcome. Students will be getting school lunch or eating a lunch from home. This should be a fun event!

The month of February we will be bringing some 'love' to one of our community members, The Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary. Please help us to get donations of cat/dog food, gently used blankets, pet carriers, leashes, collars, etc. We will conduct the supply drive for the month of February.

Reminder: School will be closed the week of Feburary 17th-21st for President's week. Please use this time to get caught up on school work if needed and enjoy the time with your families!

School will resume on Feburary 24th.

Our next field trip will be Thursday, March 6th to the San Diego Zoo. We will be taking a bus. We will depart at and return by 2:30 p.m. We hope you can join us. Please make sure to turn in a lunch slip/permission slip by February 27th at the latest.

Please take a moment each week to review upcoming lessons with your child and help them set reasonable goals in each of their classes. This simple step can lead to great outcomes by having a laser focus on improving by just 1%.

See below for additional tips and ideas for kicking the new year off!

We will have one more week of students working hard before we have a week off for the President's break. The week of February 17th-21st, there will be no school. If your child is behind in any classes, have them use this valuable gift of time to get caught up so they can finish the second semester strong!

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. We do have access to the hot lunch program. We also have snacks. Please have your child bring their refillable water bottle to use during the day to drink refreshing, ice cold water from our Sparklett's tank.

Florida center for reading resources is a collection of research based/teacher created Student Center Activities for use in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade classrooms. The activities are designed for students to practice, demonstrate, and extend their learning of what has already been taught, sometimes with teacher assistance and sometimes independently. Students can complete the activities in small groups, pairs, or individually.

Accompanying these Student Center Activities is a Teacher Resource Guide that offers important insights on differentiated instruction and how to use the Student Center materials.
