Supe's On: School year, bus pass deadlines aproach

With the Fourth of July gone, the start of another school year is quickly approaching. However, it is not too late for students to set and meet a summer reading goal. Like all goals – If you put it off until tomorrow, it will never come! I want to send a giant shout-out to all our Lynx that have already met their summer reading goal. Great job – Keep reading the rest of the summer!

For all those families new to the Brandon Valley School District – welcome! Contact Jennifer Swenson at the Central Office for school enrollment information. Our first day of school for the 2019-20 school year is Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2019. The 2019-20 Academic Calendar is available on the district homepage under the “Calendar” tab.

There is a critical deadline approaching that parents and guardians must be aware of. The deadline to get your child’s bus pass is Aug, 7. The deadline must be met for your child to be able to ride the bus the first two weeks of school. If your child will be riding the bus, please purchase your bus pass online at the webmall or at the transportation facility prior to the Aug. 7 deadline.
