Dear BVPS Families,

As we approach the end of another academic year, we want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for all the hard work you have dedicated to our children, schools, and our community. Your commitment is fundamental to our children’s success.

In our continuous effort to enhance our educational environment and meet the strategic goals set for BVPS, we understand that your insights and experiences are invaluable. That’s why we have developed this End-of-Year Survey specifically for you to share your thoughts and feedback.

Objectives of the Survey

#1 - Gather Your Insights: We are eager to understand your experiences and challenges in order to tailor our support and resources more effectively.

#2 - Continuous Improvement: Your feedback will directly influence our strategic planning processes, helping us to make informed decisions that aim at enhancing both teaching and learning outcomes and best support you and your child/ren.

#3 - Empower Your Voice: This survey is a platform for you to express your ideas and suggest improvements, ensuring that your voice is heard and acted upon.

Students will also receive a similar but separate survey. The questions of this survey are available to view on our website at bvps.org.

🚨 Please check the email address you have on file with the school system for the link to the parent/guardian survey. 🚨
