Testing, Testing, 1,2,3:

Thanks to all of the parents who have successfully navigated all of the communication platforms at BRCVPA! We appreciate you, and we acknowledge that it is a LOT!

We hope that once everything is set up and everyone is connected, our communications will reach the right people, every time! Here is a review of everything we have, its purpose, and how to connect:

• Student Progress Center (JCampus)
  • https://ebr.edgear.net/progress/
