NEW neighborhood student enrollment is now open. Please follow these directions: Go to the BVSD homepage and click on the pull down option “Parents” Then click on the “Enrollment Center” selection and look for the blue link titled “Neighborhood School” in the center of the page. Please be careful to click on the appropriate link and not the “Choice Enrollment” link as that will place your registration into the wrong department. Also, make sure to choose the correct year as both this school year and next are enrollment options!!

If your 2nd-5th grader loves to write, check out the Kid Fiction Contest from Scholastic Storyworks. Students choose one of three sentence options to start their story, which can be between 800 and 3,000 words. Parents can submit their children's stories, or if you'd like for us to submit it, please send it to Megan electronically by February 26 (the submission deadline is March 1) at megan.vos@bvsd.org.
