After many, many long weeks of hard work and waiting, we have TWO community stop buses for our school! We have two buses, the Apple Bus and the Banana Bus. The Apple Bus picks up at Southeast Middle school at 7:25 am. The Banana Bus picks up at Goodwood Library at 7:30 am. These buses work like this: Morning: 1. You bring your child to the stop. 2. You wait with your child and others for the bus. 3. Your child boards the bus and it heads directly for us and Mayfair. Afternoon: 1. You go to the community stop. 2. You wait for the bus with other parents/guardians. 3. Your chld boards the bus at school (and Mayfair), and it heads directly to the stop. This is an answer to those parents who don't want their children riding a transfer bus. Remember that we do still have several direct buses and if your child is assigned to a direct bus already they cannot be added to the community stop. How do I sign my child up? Send an email to [email protected] and request your child be added to one of the two buses. Specify which bus. You will receive an email when your child is added to the route and you will need to let the school know when you plan to have your child start riding. I see children on the bus with ID cards. Where is my child's? The district is in the process of distributing these cards. They are given directly to the bus drivers who give them to the students. If and when we get more information about a final distribution date, we will let you know.  It's here! The premiere episode of WBRC for this school year. These kiddos worked so hard on our first show, so make sure to tune in a give us a thumbs up. We will upload a news show almost every Monday at 8 am. We will alternate between the 5th grade crew and the 4th grade crew. Check it out!  Hello BRCVPA Families of Pre-K through 2nd Graders!

We are pleased to announce our student of the year for 2023-2024: Beckett Laperouse! Here are some of the wonderful things her teachers and classmates had to say about her: "She is my friend and she is a good student." "I choose Beckett because she is nice, funny, and good person." "I choose Beckett because she is an all-around ROCK-STAR! Beckett is the type of student that every teacher wants and every other student needs in their life. She is such a mature, well-rounded, kind individual." "I have observed Beckett's helpfulness with others in her classroom on more than one occasion." "Beckett has been a star student the entire time she has been at BRCVPA. She is responsible, caring, and always does the right thing." "Beckett is one of the most amazing students I have ever had the pleasure of teaching. She is extremely bright, but her character is what truly makes her shine. She is always kind, always helpful, and always respectful. She’s seeks classmates to complement or support in any way that she can. She always cheers on her peers, no matter how big or small their accomplishments are. I cannot think of a more deserving student! I can’t wait to see what amazing things she does in the future!" We also want to give a MAJOR shout out to our Student of the Year Finalists, Braylen N and Marigny G! Any of these 3 would make an excellent BRCVPA Student of the Year! We are so fortunate to have such an amazing 5th grade class, and we are incredibly proud of these 3 Student of the Year Finalists.  Next week is Red Ribbon Week. Please find the dress up day schedule attached. We tried to keep it simple and accessible for all. Note: the only day students do not have to wear uniform bottoms is Friday (Camouflage Day).  Our 3rd Grade Mini-Production of "Made to Be" was a huge success! We are so proud of our 3rd graders and grateful for our amazing Arts Faculty that pulled off a great show in our temporary location! Did you know that all grade levels at BRCVPA are part of a production during the school year? In Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade, students participate in a Mini-Production. These are shows adapted from childrens literature that are approximately 20-minutes long. Students are divided into crews about 6 weeks before their show. The crews are: actors, dancers, singers, and ORFF. During the 1st half of arts block, students rehearse with their crews daily to prepare for their show. They attend their regularly scheduled arts block during the second half of the hour. One week before the show, they move into Tech Week/Full Cast Rehearsals to prepare for the big stage! In 4th Grade, our students create their own show from start to finish! Our current process is based off of a program called "Creating an Original Opera," on which our original arts staff were trained at the Met in New York! We have since adapted this process, but the premise remains true to the original. Students form a company, brainstorm a theme, then break into crews to write the script, compose the music, create lyrics, build sets, design costumes and make-up, handle the technical theatre components (sound, props, sets, backstage, lights, curtains) AND they perform the whole thing! This process takes the entire spring semester with a show in May. We love seeing the personality of each class shine through in the show they create. In 5th Grade, since students have a good understanding of what it takes to create a show from scratch, we purchase licensing for a Broadway show. All students audition for all of the crews! There are audition pieces for orchestra, chorus, acting, and dancing. The students are cast based on their auditions and they spend the entire fall semester preparing for their December show. This year, our show is Dear Edwina, Jr.. We will have performances open to the public on December 5th, 6th, 7th at 9:30 a.m. and December 7th at 6:30 p.m. Our Pre-K 4 students are typically incorporated into one of our shows, so stay tuned for more information about that! All of our shows can be watched on our YouTube Channel: @BRCVPAVideos. (Look for the BRCVPA Productions Playlist).  Please visit the link below to access the Parent Power Newsletter for October.
