We are getting ready for you! We all enjoy summer, especially in these beautiful mountains, but getting back together for school is something we are PROUD to do. The privilege and responsibility of working with students is not one we take lightly. Get ready for the best year yet!


This "Back to School" Guide will be posted on our website for reference. We hope this helps you find resources in one spot as your family prepares to return to school.


Preschool (Grove), your first day will be August 29th .


CCHS - look for information from your staff as you will have a "soft" opening with individual conferences and meetings while your new space gets finished up!


Avery Parsons, BVMS, BVHS - your 2022-23 school year will launch on Thursday, August 25th!


You can expect more information from your child's school in coming days.

Breakfast and Lunch

Federal funding that provided free meals to BV Schools students last year is no longer available during the 2022-23 school year. If you think your family qualifies for free or reduced meals, it is important to apply for assistance. Our certified Free and Reduced Specialist, Shelly Mueller can assist you if you have questions. She can be reached at shellym@bvschools.org. To apply for assistance, access the Free and Reduced Application here. Qualification for Free or Reduced meals also gives families reduction in other student course fees and extra curricular fees, like athletics. Reminder: meals are not universally free this year and only qualifying students through the application process will be eligible for free or reduced meals.


School Meal Costs are here.


You can deposit money in your child's account via credit card through the Infinite Campus portal or by check/cash at your child's school.


School Menus are found on the website or Mobile app.
