BVP Newsletter
Cecil County Public Schools Blended Virtual Program (BVP) recognizes that students can meaningfully engage in a rigorous education program outside of the walls of our brick and mortar schools. The BVP has proven beneficial to a variety of motivated students who prefer to access their instructional program virtually while still being able to participate in extracurricular activities at their home school location. The BVP is offered to students in grades 4 - 12. To find out more about the BVP, please visit the BVP homepage at BVP Homepage. If you would like to apply to the BVP for next school year, please complete the application at BVP Online Application. All applications will be processed in the order in which they are received. Once processed, families will be notified of their student's acceptance into the BVP. Families applying prior to 4/30/23 will be notified by 5/15/23.

Counselor's Corner
Personal Safety Lessons: Personal Safety classroom lessons are beginning in March for grades K, 1, 3 and 5. I always encourage the children to discuss these topics with their parents. It's a good idea to have frequent conversations about personal safety and internet safety. Informed kids are safer kids! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
Career Days 2023
Career Day for grades 3-5 will be on Wed, May 31 from 9-12.
