A Note from Principal Farrington Dear Birchview Families,
What an amazing first few days back at school! We welcomed some of our youngest learners (k-2) back in style with a grand red carpet entrance. The buzz around the building definitely has picked up and Birchview is beginning to feel like Birchview again. It has also been wonderful to see students in our distance choice program adjusting to their new schedules and staying engaged in the learning online. Thank you for helping your child(ren) make this transition. Your partnership is truly appreciated.
Reminders for Parents:
