Throughout the week students will then be invited with their class to participate in several, carefully constructed experiments developed by and executed by parent volunteers!

Spring Staff Appreciation Luncheon
Dear BV Families,
The Spring Staff Appreciation Luncheon is coming to the building Thursday, March 17th!! We will be providing lunch to the entire building staff during the week of teacher conferences. In order to make the luncheon a success, we are asking for donations. Below is the link to the SUG. If you would please consider making a monetary or food donation, it would be greatly appreciated. At this time, we are still in great need of many sides, desserts, paper products and volunteers, in addition to monetary donations.

Food donations can be dropped off in the BV office up until 10 am the morning of March 17th. Drinks and paper products can be dropped off at any time and labeled "Staff Appreciation". All cash/check donations can be sent to the office in an envelope marked "Staff Appreciation". If writing a check, please make it out to "BVE HSA".
We thank you for your support and generosity!

The seedlings for the Bridge Valley student gardens are in a greenhouse at None Such Farms and beginning to take root. We thank the Yerkes Family once again for generously donating the seedlings to BV. This year we are even trying Sugar Snap Peas. We’re looking forward to Spring!
Attendance
If your child is tardy, being picked up early, or absent for any reason, please enter this in Parent Portal.
Click here for PDF directions for how to input the absence, tardy, or early dismissal.
Click here for video directions for how to input the absence, tardy or early dismissal.
Requests made using the parent portal will also serve as the excuse for the absence. Parents will not be required to submit an excuse either electronic or written.
Parents and guardians can also still call the school to report an absence, but emails will no longer be accepted.
In addition, when a student is absent from school, but the school did not receive communication from the parent or guardian, the following communication will be sent:
- A text message will be sent midmorning notifying the parent or guardian of the absence
- An email will also be sent at the end of the school day reminding the parent or guardian that the student was marked absent.
Thank you for your attention to this.
