Weekly updates
Hello BVA families! It is hard to believe we are already in November! Our students have five weeks until the end of the first semester. All classes must be at 100% complete with a passing grade in order to get credit for the class. Please make sure to monitor your students progress in all their classes using the weekly report you receive.
We will have no school on Monday, November 11th in observance of Veteran's day. Please take a moment to say thank you to a veteran to thank them for their service to our country. Our field trip is coming up on 11/21 from 9-1:30. We will be going to the Western Science Museum to view the fossils and Native American artifacts. Please make sure to send in your completed permission slip, lunch slip and $9 by November 12th. This coming Thursday, November 14th at 10:30, we will have our next art day with Carissa. We will be painting!

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.
