For over ten years, BVSD’s Food Services Department has been working hard to support children’s health by providing fresh nutritious food in schools every day. This past summer, the Food Services team took that work a step further by working to address a little-known but potentially serious threat hiding in plain sight - sesame.  

Students learn at their own pace and may require various levels of support. Honing in on each individual student's needs is a key component of the All Together for All Students Strategic Plan, specifically our first strategic theme: Challenging, engaging and relevant instruction, which aims to provide all students with a tiered system of academic supports. To accomplish this goal, schools throughout the district have taken the lead in creating new programs and strategies to address those students that may be struggling.
