Buena Vista School District

BVSD teachers stretched their critical competency muscles today during their Professional Learning day! As part of their annual evaluation, teachers design an inquiry-based question they track throughout the year to investigate an element of their teaching practice or classroom culture - aligned to our district priorities. During PL days every month, the teachers meet in groups to check in, share data, and seek feedback from their peers. This process is an integral part of building a culture of learners not just among our students, but among our staff! #professionallearning #criticalcompetency #BV7Cs #bvproud #bvschoolsthepeak

Students in Mr. Perrin's Sports and Society class kicked off their Economics of Sports unit by digging into advertising and target markets. Capitalizing on the timely Super Bowl advertising mania, the class categorized Super Bowl commercials into the different target markets they are working with. #criticallycompetent #BV7Cs #superbowlcommercials #marketing #buenavistahighschool #bvschoolsthepeak

Avery Parsons students have been making interdiscplinary connections in their Enrichment class with Mrs. Atha by learning coding! Before getting to the computers, students learned all about grids, coordinates, and the language of coding. They used stuffed animals to track a journey across the state of Colorado using a giant, classroom-sized map. This foundation-setting ensured that by the time they starting working with the code.org, students understood the basic connections they would need to make the most of their interactive coding tasks. #connected #BV7Cs #coding #computerscience #averyparsonselementary #bvproud #bvschoolsthepeak

Here's what's coming up this week! Remember - no school for students on Friday (it's a professional learning day for staff). Be sure to check out the athletics events tab for details on the many basketball and wrestling events happening this week.
