REMINDER: District Schools will be closed on Friday, April 18 for Good Friday.


Everyone at BAC is settling back into school routines after spring break. Second graders in Mrs. Plumbo's class have been growing brassica plants during science time and kindergarteners in Mr. Perkalis' class have been working with the "ake" word family in phonics.





Attention 5th, 6th, and 7th Grade Families!
The Washington Township School District is evaluating the potential for introducing Fencing to our complement of LVMS extra- and co-curricular opportunities for students during the 2025-2026 School Year. Before proceeding, however, our Leadership Team wishes to survey 5th, 6th, and 7th Grade families to determine overall interest in this program. Please take a moment to complete this survey if you wish for your child(ren) to be involved in a Fencing Club if one were to happen at the Long Valley Middle School. Be aware, this survey will close on Friday, April 11th.

BAC 4th graders in Ms. Sonzogni's class merged their persuasive writing unit with our One District, One Book story A Boy Called Bat. Just like in the book, the students received an unusual "beanie baby" animal as a "pet." Then they wrote why they should be allowed to keep it.
