May 11th, 2020 The Bureau Valley administrative team has been closely monitoring recommendations from the Illinois State Board of Education and the Illinois Department of Public Health about end of year events like the BVJH Awards Assembly and 8th Grade Promotion. Bureau Valley CUSD #340 must follow the guidelines set by state agencies in the following months to ensure the safety and health of all community members, at the same time the district understands the importance of holding these events for our students and their families. As of May 2nd, state agencies stated that “virtual events are strongly encouraged, although we recognize this may not be possible in all situations.” When considering all options, following the safety guidelines and erring on the side of safety for all involved is the responsible path to follow. Therefore the Bureau Valley administrative team is announcing the following adjustments to the BVJH Awards Assembly and 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony. BVJH Awards Assembly The BVJH 2020 Awards Assembly was originally scheduled for the morning of May 20th in the Bureau Valley auditorium. The purpose of the Awards Assembly is to recognize and celebrate our BVJH 6th-8th Grade students’ success and participation in extracurricular clubs and athletics and to announce the recipients of the 8th Grade Promotion Awards. In order to safely celebrate the accomplishments of all Bureau Valley Junior High students, the assembly will now be transformed into a Digital Awards Presentation that will be posted on the BV340 website and the Bureau Valley Junior High/Elementary facebook page on May 20th at 7:00PM. The Awards Presentation link will then be emailed to all BVJH families immediately after it has been presented at 7:00PM for the first time. BVJH Promotion Ceremony The BVJH 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony will be released as a virtual Promotion Ceremony on June 19th at 7:00PM. The ceremony will feature the BVJH 8th grade students promoted to high school, speeches will be presented, and award recipients recognized. The links for this ceremony will be made available in the same manner as the Awards Assembly. On behalf of the Bureau Valley Junior High Staff, I invite you to join us in watching the Awards Presentation online on May 20th at 7:00PM to help us celebrate our amazing first year together in Manlius. Then please join us again on June 19th at 7:00PM for the 8th grade Virtual Promotion Ceremony to celebrate the 8th graders promoted to high school. Celebrating all our students’ hard work and achievements together, despite the distance between us, will honor and pay tribute to their accomplishments in the 2019/2020 school year. Sincerely, Julie Platz Principal, Bureau Valley Junior High/Elementary
