Our awesome MVBT office staff met for lunch to celebrate the completion of a huge task they recently finalized. At the beginning of this school year, the office staff worked tirelessly to transition to a new student information system. Then, due to challenges beyond our district’s control, the office staff had to transition back to the previous system. Since the beginning of this school year, they have spent hours at their computers getting all of our student and teacher data perfected! Our office staff have conquered a task that is nothing short of miraculous! These ladies are greatly appreciated, highly respected, and absolutely the best!

Throughout the year we will be recognizing our awesome Eagle staff members. Here are the days we are going to designate as Eagle Recognition Days for the 2022-2023 school year. (We have tried to schedule these days to reflect national or state recognition days. )

Dear Parents. Some of our older students who ride a bus from Birch Tree Elementary to the middle school and high school have found it difficult to have enough time to eat breakfast before needing to go to their first class. To help alleviate this time crunch, the last bus to leave Birch Tree Elementary to take students to the high school and middle school will depart at 7:25 am starting on Monday, Oct. 17. If you drive your child to the school to catch this bus, please make sure that you get them there prior to 7:25. Thanks!
