Attendance Letters

Yikes I received an attendance letter - now what!?! Each week the district looks at individual attendance records, including all the reasons for absences. When attendance becomes a concern, the school is requested to notify parents. We aim to work with parents/guardians to help improve a child’s attendance so that all children can benefit from being in school regularly and achieving their full potential. Remember after 10 absences no matter the excuse everything is considered unexcused without doctor documentation. Students who are absent for more than 3 days will begin to receive an attendance notice. All absences count toward those 10 days. For additional information please visit BVSD

VISION & HEARING SCREENING

Don't forget! The vision and hearing screening will take place this Monday, October 21st. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Ms. Carol.

Thank you for your cooperation!
