BVVA Update: April 28, 2021

April 28, 2021

Good Morning BVVA Wolf Pack,

The year is flying by and graduation/promotion is fast approaching! We wanted to let you know, due to COVID recommendations and requirements, we have had to adjust our times for rehearsal and graduation. Times had to be adjusted to allow enough time for participants to arrive and leave without co-mingling crowds and in order to allow the live-streaming crew to broadcast all events. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. I know many families make plans well in advance of the events, so I hope it is early enough for you to make adjustments. The event will follow all current health and safety guidelines including physical distances between non-household members. We hope that our 8th grade and High School Graduates will consider attending; however, if you are not able to attend, there will be a drive-up, walk-through option hosted at the PYLUSD District Office at 1301 Orangethorpe Avenue. The date and time will be determined soon.

New Times

Rehearsal: Monday, June 14 at 11:00 am

Ceremony: Tuesday, June 15 at 5:00 pm

Location-Shapell Stadium at YLHS

What are your plans for next year? Some of you have already let us know that your student(s) will be returning to traditional school next year. We thank you. If you have already informed us of your plans, you do not need to complete the survey below. For those of you who have not communicated your decision with us, we understand that things are changing and you might still be finalizing your plans. We do know that traditional schools in the PYLUSD do not plan to offer students the option to Zoom from home next year. They will return to traditional in-person options only. Like you, we are making plans for the future and some of those plans depend on how many students plan to attend BVVA next year. We would appreciate you letting us know your plans as soon as possible by completing the appropriate forms below. While this decision is not set in stone, it will help us make plans.
