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.

Emerald Murphy is no stranger to challenging the norm, after all, it is something she has done most of her career. For this reason, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the former French teacher, turned groundbreaking high school athletic director, is now taking on a new challenge, leading Community Schools.
Beginning this choice enrollment period, students of individuals who live outside of BVSD, but who work within the district's boundaries now qualify for our newest enrollment priority.
To qualify for our Bright Futures priority, the parent or guardian needs to be working within BVSD's boundaries at the time of application and on the first day of the school year.
