Baldwin Lane Elementary School has partnered with the California State Preschool program to offer full-day support. This will give your Transitional Kinder (TK) student access to an entire day of education at Baldwin Lane Elementary. Starting at 7:30 am with preschool, joining the BLES TK students at 10:30, and remaining till the end of the day at 3:25 pm.

If you are interested in these programs, please remember you are enrolling in two programs, the California State Preschool and Bear Valley Unified School District as a TK student at Baldwin Lane Elementary. You must meet the age guideline below for both programs. We are thrilled to welcome all our new students to the Bear Valley Unified School District for the 22 -23 school year.

The Bear Valley Unified School District transports approximately 2,500 children to and from school each day.
In making decisions about the closure of schools, safety is the primary concern. The School District works with
the Highway Patrol and weather forecasting sites in attempting to make proper decisions regarding school
closure. Decisions must be made by 5:00 a.m. if buses are to be stopped and parents notified.

Please see the attached flyer about snow day closures and information.

We have received additional funding from the State to be used to address students' academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs as well as any opportunity gaps that may have existed before and were worsened by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
