We rely heavily on volunteers! Visit HelpatSchool.org to volunteer at Birch. If you would like to volunteer, please check the opportunities on the site. If you plan to volunteer in the building, or attend any field trips, you will be required to complete a background investigation per BVSD rules. You can access information about this process at Volunteer Background Checks
The Birch Student and Family Handbook is filled with important information about Birch. Please be sure to read the handbook and use it as a reference for any questions you may have.

This month, 51 BVSD seniors will proudly wear natural cotton cords and medals made of sustainably sourced wood at their graduations, signifying they earned the Seal of Climate Literacy.
“The SCL is a perfect fit for BVSD students, since it naturally aligns with our greenBVSD efforts. It also leverages Grad+ (BVSD’s career and college readiness framework) and BVSD partner relationships,” BVSD science coordinator Erin Greenwood explained. “We are committed to creating opportunities for every student to graduate with climate literacy and college and career readiness.”
Student reports of bullying have declined for the third consecutive year, reaching a new low of 15.9%. The data show a 6.1 point decrease in the percentage of students reporting being bullied over the last three years. Another highlight is that we had equitable progress as this downward trend was reflected across all racial and ethnic student groups. This is a testament to our schools daily commitment to classroom management, social emotional learning, bullying prevention implementation, and relationship-building. Learn more about bullying prevention programs in BVSD as well as how to make a report.
