Our BVHS drama students continue are creating impressive material in their drama season this fall. Their work can be found at the newly published Google Site with this link: https://sites.google.com/bureauvalley.net/topofthevalley/home The High School website also has a button linked to our site. Here, you can find interviews, photography, artwork, and the links to the radio-style variety shows that are designed and put together every other week. Additionally, the site provides further links to the donation page with the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. Please consider donating to this organization this year in place of purchasing tickets. The students remained passionate about raising support for the AFA, working together for a greater purpose. Here is the link to the donation page : afawalk.com/topofthevalley The links to the site and to the donation page can be shared to friends and family who would also like to experience the students' work this season! Enjoy!

Dear BV Families and Staff, As we start our fourth week of school, we have had to make changes to our 2020-2021 District Calendar. Please note some changes happening soon below and click on the link for the entire year’s calendar: Updated 20-21 BV Calendar. There will be a School Improvement Day on Thursday, September 24th. Students will be served breakfast and will be dismissed at 11:00am. No lunch will be served. This day was on the original 20-21 Calendar and was removed, as the administration was planning for Covid related situations. The administration has now decided to add the School Improvement Day back to the calendar. Also, there will be a Remote Planning Day on Wednesday, October 14th. No meals will be served. Students in grades PK-11 will not attend school that day and no remote learning will be assigned. All seniors will be required to attend in-person at BVHS to take the state-mandated SAT assessment; any juniors who have signed up to take the PSAT-NMSQT test will also need to attend in-person. Seniors and Juniors, please watch for an email with more information about testing. Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up on October 14th and 15th. We will send more information out at a later date as to how these conferences will be held to follow current guidance from the State. Please contact your student’s building with questions. Thank you, Bureau Valley Administration Team

Dear Parents, We have recently received guidance from the Illinois State Board of Education Nutrition Department informing us that all enrolled students will be eligible for free meals until December 31, 2020. The free meals begin September 1, 2020. (If your child was previously charged, those charges will be reversed for meals served on September 1st and 2nd.) Students in Kindergarten through 8th grade, who are attending in person, will be asked for daily meal counts at their building. Families that have chosen Remote Learning will continue to receive emails that contain a food order form. The High School Thunder and Lightning families will also continue to receive emails that contain their food order form. We appreciate your flexibility as we work through these continuing changes. Go Storm!
