SVUSD APP

Please make sure to download the SVUSD app. You’ll be able to connect with your student’s teacher(s) like messaging, you can get updates through streams and announcements, and even be connected to missing assignments. I also use it to send out messages and announcements to keep everyone updated on the happenings at BV. Here is the QR to directly access the app for either Apple or Android phone.

Sincerely,

Brenda Bland

BV Principal

PBIS

This year we are starting something new - Behavior Academies. Students who get multiple minor referrals will be admitted into a behavior academy - Behavior Reflection Academy, Social Skills Academy, Emotional Regulation Academy, Bullying Prevention Academy or Safe Hands Academy, where they will learn the skills they need to be successful in the school setting. We are trying to be proactive with behavior to stop the little behaviors from turning into big behaviors.
