While, in most cases, all elementary students return on Wednesday, at the secondary level only the first grade at each level (6th and 9th) attend on the first day, to give those students an opportunity to get to know the school, before the remainder of the student body returns.
It is important to mention that Back to School Wednesday is NOT a Late Start in BVSD.
Also, we encourage everyone to be careful as students return to school. Please take it slow, especially in school zones and adhere to speed limits and bus lights and signage, so that everyone can make their way to and from school safely.
