• Juniors (or seniors who have not met the concessions requirement), there are a number of concessions openings in January and February. Sign up using the link that has been emailed to you a number of times this year - or see Jeanie in the office.
• Seniors - The Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation scholarship opportunities are now available!  There is a link to these opportunities on the counselor website under financial aid/scholarships (click on logo) or you can find their scholarship options here: https://www.sfacf.org/grants-scholarships/scholarships
• Here is a link to the 2025-2026 Winter Sports Themes 
• BV SPORTS PARTICIPATION: Parents must complete BOUND registration for each sport before their student/s can begin tryouts/practice for that sport – and registration involves more than just a physical-form upload. Parents can begin by selecting Registration from the top/main menu of the following page: https://www.gobound.com/sd/schools/brandonvalley  Select Registration; don’t go into the activity first. (Students cannot try out or begin practice with only the physical form.) Managers, your parents must also complete all of the steps of BOUND manager registration; those steps include everything except the physical-form upload. Again, PARENTS complete BOUND registration. Students do not.
