The research is clear, parents have a significant role in shaping their students behaviors and readiness to learn. We know that sometimes parenting can be challenging and it's difficult to know everything our youth are challenged by and how to offer support or guidance. BVSD is proud to partner with local health and prevention programs to offer programs to help parents address difficult topics with their student.
If you are looking for more resources for your student below are some helpful places to start:
