Superintendent´s Message

Dear Blues Families and Community Members,

I want to take a moment to welcome everyone to a new school year in Buena Vista City Public Schools. We are excited to welcome our students back and look forward to another year of learning, growth, and success.

This promises to be an exciting and important year for our school division. As we continue planning for the future, we will be working to finalize and move forward with plans for our school construction project while preparing for the successful operation of two schools within one building. These efforts represent an important step forward for our community and reflect our shared commitment to creating the best possible future for all of our Blues

The opportunities before us are exciting and meaningful, and realizing them will require all of us working together. Our students are most successful when our schools, families, and community work as partners. Your support, encouragement, and involvement are essential as we continue building a bright future for Buena Vista City Public Schools.  Together, we will accomplish great things for our students and our community. We are looking forward to another outstanding school year and can't wait to welcome our Blues back for the first day of school!

Here's to a wonderful school year!  GO BLUE!
Thanks,
Heather

Heather Ault, Ed.D.
Superintendent
Buena Vista City Public Schools
