CHANGE to Breakfast
Some exciting changes are coming second semester and one of them is about breakfast. Instead of students eating in the classroom, we will be having breakfast in the cafeteria. Students will have a choice of a hot breakfast every day. Breakfast will remain FREE for all BRV students. To accommodate this change, we will be allowing students to get off the bus at 7:35 am to come in to eat breakfast. Breakfast will be served until the school day begins at 8:00 am. We will continue our 7:45 am drop-off time for car riders as needed. If you have any questions contact Mrs. Wordinger (tracy.wordinger@brv.k12.in.us).
BEGINNING JANUARY 4TH!
Beginning Thursday, January 4th there will be a change in dismissal procedures for elementary students.
Due to safety concerns elementary students will not be allowed to walk to the high school for dismissal. All elementary students will be required to board the bus or be a car rider. The only exceptions to this would be any ECA that takes place at the high school or staff’s students. If you have questions or concerns please contact Mrs. Wordinger.
Mobile Dentist
The Mobile Dentist will be at BRV elementary on Friday, February 16th, 2024. Parents can consent for their students to be seen via this link:
Cold Weather has Arrived
Students still go outside for recess depending on temperature. This is a reminder for coats, hats, gloves and scarves.

Don't forget to call the office if your student is not going to be at school.
Please make sure to talk to someone in the office or leave a message with the reason why your student is not at school. This information helps us to identify patterns of illness in a class. Our goal is to keep everyone as healthy as we can.
LATE START WEDNESDAYS
We will begin “Late Start Wednesdays” for the 2023-2024 school year beginning August 16, 2023. On those days, school will begin at 8:30 am in both buildings. This means that the buses will run 30 minutes later on Wednesday mornings. We will release at our normally scheduled time of 3:05 p.m.
Two-Hour Delay Protocol - In the event of a 2-hour delay on a Wednesday, “Late Start Wednesday” will be canceled.
PM E-Learning Day on Wednesday Protocol - “Late Start Wednesday” will NOT take place in conjunction with our already scheduled Wednesday PM E-Learning Days (August, 23, February 7, April 10). The school will run on time on those days and release at 11:40 a.m.
Early Drop-OFF - Students who do not ride the bus may be dropped off at 7:45 a.m. on Wednesday for a morning latchkey program. At this time there is no cost to this one-day morning latch key option.
If you have any questions about “Late Start Wednesday,” please reach out to Mrs. Wordinger (tracy.wordinger@brv.k12.in.us).
