Dear BVA Families,
We have our first field trip coming soon to Bates nut farm! The day of the field trip is October 9th from 9:00-1:30. We will be taking a school bus with our ATP friends. The cost of the field trip is $12 for the Trixster package that includes a pumpkin, the hay ride, the straw maze, and the informational class. Please fill out the permission slip, lunch slip and send your money into Mr. Quinn/Miss Carissa in the ATP program next door to the BVA room if you plan to attend no later than October 2nd. Please reach out to Tina Calabrese if you have any questions.
All students in grades K-12 will need to complete their i-ready and STAR math/reading assessments. Please reach out to Miss Breuininger to let her know when you have completed your testing.
On October 2nd, we will have our first career day of the school year for our high school students. We will have Child Nutrition Services and the Grounds and Maintenance crew doing a presentation on their careers and offering a possible internship opportunity. We will begin at 9:30 and conclude at 10:30. Donuts will be provided and all high school students will earn community service hours. Please rsvp to Tina Calabrese( Tina.calabrese@bonsallusd.com) if you plan to attend this fun in person presentation at the BVA classroom.
We are monitoring students' progress very closely. If students are not on track and checking in with their teacher, they will be in violation of the master contract agreement that was signed. Students will then need to transition back to in-person school.
Parents, please remember to check your child's daily attendance and progress. All students should be working 3-5 hours per day or more in order to complete their classes on time. If you need help, please ask Miss B. High school students Must complete 20 credits of CTE or college level classes in order to graduate. This has been a part of our graduation status meetings in the past. Please make sure to sign up to take the free Palomar college classes. Reach out to Mr. Hinchliff( greg.hinchliff@bonsallusd.com) or Eryn Barker (eryn.barker@bonsallusd.com) for support. Questions, please feel free to contact Miss Bruininger or myself: 760-685-1686. Together, we will Accelerate, Innovate, Integrate, and do Great!

Online resources Reading grades K-5
Florida center for reading resources is a collection of research based/teacher created Student Center Activities for use in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade classrooms. The activities are designed for students to practice, demonstrate, and extend their learning of what has already been taught, sometimes with teacher assistance and sometimes independently. Students can complete the activities in small groups, pairs, or individually.
Accompanying these Student Center Activities is a Teacher Resource Guide that offers important insights on differentiated instruction and how to use the Student Center materials.
