December 6th, 2024
Hello BGVA families,
Welcome to December; the most wonderful time of year! This may seem like a random thought, but I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone who decorates their house with lights for the Holiday season. In my opinion, it is truly an act of kindness, that uplifts and brings joy to people they might never meet. Thank you, I look forward to seeing your lights!

Everyone is welcome. All presentations are open to the public. Childcare and light refreshments will be provided. Please bring your ID if you need to access childcare.
In the event of a weather-related school closure, the presentation will be canceled. However, anyone may attend a different presentation at another school or find information on the district website.
With the possibility of inclement weather, BGVA is now designated as a South school. Moving forward; this means we will follow the BGSD South school schedule when there are snow days or changes in the regular school days.
If you need access to BGVA please feel free to call the office at 360-334-5250 and we will gladly let you in through the front gates.
Check emails regularly: It is very important for students and families to check emails frequently. This is our main form of communication and we do not want you to miss any important details your family may need.
Here are a few other important items for you to consider:
Weekly student/Teacher contact: According to State policy, weekly student/Teacher contact is required. This can include direct emails or through the online classroom platforms. Please make sure you are responding to emails and class prompts weekly to ensure we are all in compliance with Alternative Learning Education (ALE) requirements.
