BVM Families,

We have made it through what has perhaps been the most unique and challenging year of our lives. Our students have proven to be strong, independent, resilient, amazing human beings. I would like to celebrate them and you for the determination demonstrated this year. Our BVM staff tried to make this the most positive experience possible, but now we are excited to welcome our students back to campus!

For our 8th grade students, they will be moving across the street to Bonita Vista High School. We will celebrate their promotion with a ceremony at Hilltop High School on June 4th. Due to the pandemic and circumstances beyond our students' control, all 8th grade students are invited to participate in promotion. Please review the guidelines below. More specific information will follow for families of 8th grade students.

For our 7th grade students, this will be our first opportunity to meet you in person. We can't wait to welcome you to your school!

Thank you to the entire BVM community for your patience and flexibility during this year. I am so proud to be the principal of Bonita Vista Middle School and to work with this incredible group of staff, students, and parents. Here's to new beginnings! Go Crusaders!!

Sincerely,

Teresa Kramer

Principal
