ABC's of Fourth Grade
ABC's of Fourth Grade
Fourth-grade BVA students had the chance to reflect on their learning and experiences this year by creating an ABC Book. They explored examples that were more advanced than what we might remember as parents or teachers of young children. Students worked on their writing skills and how to visually represent their ideas effectively. I'm thrilled that BVA found its way into the memories in a variety of ways this year!
Transitions: reflect, celebrate, anticipate
Transitions: reflect, celebrate, anticipate
Our leaders and teachers are mindful that the challenges of this school year will have an impact on the future - perhaps not in the ways we originally anticipated. We've learned that our students and families are highly resilient. We've seen new and additional ways the power of community and relationships impact learning. We want to ensure you and your child have everything you need to be successful in upcoming transitions: wrapping up this school year into the summer and into the following school year.
#PSBVA student will have the opportunity to participate in Connection & Reflection Day on May 13th - Check your messages from your child's teacher to sign up for an in-person time slot.
See Upcoming Events for details on end-of-year activities!
Our Plan
Our Plan
We see our next opportunity in how we celebrate this year and welcome our learners into next year:
We think that some learners and families will continue to need an online option for the next school year. We have been talking to parents, teachers, and students and are planning for next year. We will have more clarity after we know the status of the bond issue and levy vote on May 4th.
We think that some learners and families will be nervous about the levels of safety in school buildings. We plan to share the protocols we have put into place as well as information about the success we have had in keeping our in-person learners healthy this year.
We think that some learners and families who are planning to return to in-person instruction may have some anxiety about being in a classroom, being away from home, being around larger numbers of people, etc. We will be hosting events in our buildings this spring to invite those who feel safe to join with others on campus and to reacclimate to our schools. We also plan on having some specific orientation support for BVA learners returning to in-person instruction next year.
We think that some learners and families may want to participate in key on-campus rite of passage events and we want to make sure that BVA students are invited to attend. Stay tuned to your building newsletters for times and dates of graduation and other big happenings at the end of the year.
Finally, we are planning end-of-year virtual celebrations that include all BVA learners to reflect on the year and to get excited for what's to come.

Kite Making
Our Eighth Grade Graduation is a long-standing tradition at Indian Hill Middle School. This formal event is the culmination of countless hours of preparation by our staff, parents, and of course, our students.
What to Wear
Boys: Our graduating gentlemen are expected to wear a button-down collared shirt, tie, dress or khaki pants, and a jacket for the ceremony. Dress shoes are also expected and gym shoes are not permitted.
Girls: Our graduating ladies are expected to wear a dress or pantsuit (any color is permissible). Ladies are not permitted to wear gym shoes. Due to walking down the stairs and across the stage, it is our recommendation to wear flats, sandals, or shoes with a small heel.
If you need any financial assistance with the attire, please contact your child's counselor, Mrs. Katie Bunevich or Mr. Nick Carpenter at 272-4642.
Traditionally, students leave after the ceremony for a celebratory lunch with family followed by a PTO-sponsored grade level get-together. Our PTO has been busy planning this celebration for the Class of 2025. More information on this event will be coming from our PTO soon!
