Next Steps for You…
If you do not reside in the BV attendance area, go to the district website to be sure you know the open enrollment timelines to apply.
December 7th - January 15th - Applications can be completed in person or online.
We are unable to accommodate more than 2,000 students. The “spots available” are determined by grade level, after our resident numbers are finalized.
Unprecedented Times
The hope is we will return to a regular, in-person learning environment for the 2021-22 school year.
If you will be attending Bella Vista next year please be patient with any transitions we may be experiencing from distance learning to in-person learning. There is A LOT of planning
Thank you!
