Move-up Day and Class Placement
Many of our Bridge Valley traditions and routines have been interrupted due to the school closure. This includes our Move-up Day procedures. Specific class placement information will not be complete prior to the scheduled end of the school year; however, we still want to engage students in the excitement that comes with Move-up Day. To introduce students to their next grade, our teachers created a welcome video message that includes a warm greeting and information about engaging activities that are unique to the grade level. This message will be sent to students on Friday, June 12th.
On Tuesday, August 4, 2020 you will be able to access your child’s teacher/placement for the 2020-2021 school year. Details about how to access the information through the Parent Portal system will be shared in July.
We know that a virtual Move-Up Day does not replace the joy of changing classrooms and meeting next year’s teacher, but we are hopeful a preview of the curricular themes will give students a welcoming introduction to the 2020-2021 school year.

This special edition includes a brief introduction by the filmmaker Dr. Delaney Ruston, plus a pre-recorded Q&A with her after the film, where she responds to some of the most frequently asked questions about the topics covered in the film. Filmmaker and physician Dr. Delaney Ruston takes the conversation around screens and teens to the next level with Screenagers NEXT CHAPTER: Uncovering Skills for Stress Resilience—a film that examines the science behind teen’s emotional challenges, the interplay of social media, and most importantly, what can be done in our schools and homes to help them build crucial skills to navigate stress, anxiety, and depression in our digital age.
