Constructed in 1953 as Baseline Junior High, the school later transitioned to Baseline Middle School and then New Vista High School. After serving the students of BVSD for 71 years, the building will be demolished in 2025 as a new building for New Vista High School is constructed. Former students, teachers, staff, and families are invited to an open house to share memories and say farewell to the building.

In August, we introduced BVSD’s new attendance policy, which aims to encourage students to attend school and engage fully in their learning. This Fall, as BVSD schools implemented the new policy, they increased tracking and reporting around absences. Perhaps the most noticeable change was a new set of letters sent out to families when students are absent for a few days.
