Storm Family, We have a positive update to share. We've been notified that construction on Route 40 at the Hennepin Canal Bridge is now expected to be completed by August 13th. That means we will not need to adjust our bus shuttle times after all, and our regular schedule stays in place.One thing to keep on your radar: the Interstate 80 bridge may remain one-way for the foreseeable future. Please plan for some added delay at the lights in that area, especially during the morning and afternoon runs, and give yourselves a little extra time.One more reminder: the Manlius shuttle will resume back at the old elementary site.If you have any questions, please call our Transportation Department at 815-445-2161.Thank you for your patience and flexibility over the past few days. It's a great day to be a part of the Storm.Jason R. Stabler,Superintendent of Bureau Valley SchoolsGo Storm!

I’m coming back to the classroom with some pretty incredible memories! 🎨✨
Right before the end of the school year, my 6th grade students and I dove into Vincent van Gogh’s famous Bedroom in Arles. We talked about perspective, brushwork, color, and what life in 1888 looked like. We even compared the three different versions he painted to spot the subtle details that make each one unique.
One of the highlights of my summer? I was fortunate enough to visit all three original paintings in person! 🖼️
Art trivia challenge: Do you know which museum (or city!) home to each of the three versions? Drop your guesses below! 👇
Bureau Valley Junior high student council is sponsoring a school supply drive.

BV Brainstorm summer program culminated with a trip to the Peoria River Center and Planetarium. What an awesome kick-off to summer!
As the school year comes to a close, we take one more look back at the memories, laughter, friendships, and moments that made this 8th grade class so special.
This video is a celebration of their journey, the growth they’ve made, and the impact they’ve had on our school. We are so proud of this group and cannot wait to see all they accomplish in high school and beyond.
Once a Storm, always a Storm. 🌩️
