BVE Montessori K-5 School Choice ProgramBVE Montessori (K-5) is a DCSD School Choice lottery-based program, which is available to all of Dekalb County residents. Woodland Hills Dekalb residents must still put in a School Choice application to obtain a spot in the Montessori track at BVE, despite BVE being our zoned school. Please pay attention to the early application deadlines in January of each year. Once enrolled, your child can continue through 5th grade in the Montessori track.
Check out this previous year post by the BVE PTO, which summarizes some of the application process for the K-5 program: https://briarvistaelementary.com/blogs/all/school-choice and additional details on important program eligibility criteria is outlined here under BVE at the DCSD School Choice website: https://www.dekalbschoolsga.org/school-choice/programs/.

Important Dates
This year the application window is Jan 5 - Feb 9, 2024 for the 2024-2025 school year, and you can locate the application online here: https://www.dekalbschoolsga.org/school-choice/. Please reach out to the Ms. Neill (BVE Principal) if you have additional questions about applying to the program.

As discussed in the Board meeting today, PROACT (the superintendent search firm) is looking for community feedback regarding the next superintendent. The countywide public engagement session is tonight, Thursday, February 12th, from 7:00 to 8:30 at the Board of Education Auditorium. If you are able, please plan to attend. Whether you attend or not, please give your feedback online:

PROACT Search and the DeKalb County School District are in the process of
preparing the background information and documentation for the search,
including a formal position profile and application. Part of this process
involves an extensive, in-depth period of stakeholder engagement. Please
feel free to participate in this process through an online survey. You
may access the link through either of the two links below. It is
available in multiple languages on both websites. Please share this
information with other stakeholders.
