In lieu of having students bring in school supplies, we ask for $40/student so teachers can purchase needed supplies at discounted rates. Students need to bring their own inexpensive headphones and a backpack. Please pay for supplies here: Pay for Supplies!

It is very important to complete an Application for Free & Reduced Meals for this upcoming school year. BVSD is proud to be able to continue offering free meals to all students, thanks to a waiver granted by the USDA. We also want to let families know that school meal applications are good for more than just free meals.
