Our Mission
"We will prepare our students to be life long learners and productive citizens through a positive
learning environment with the cooperation of students, educational staff, parents, guardians, and community."
Brandon Valley welcomes new families and students to its educational programs and wants to make each and every student feel at home when attending our schools.
The Lynx Way
The Brandon Valley School District utilizes our district-wide character program "The Lynx Way" to promote positive student behaviors and instill the fundamental traits we want in all students. Creating consistency and common language throughout our schools, supports positive behavior intervention systems, and promotes easier transitions between school buildings. We encourage all parents, guardians, and patrons to utilize the common language and engage with our kids on the importance of being respectful, responsible, safe, kind, and active learners.
Respectful - Responsible - Safe - Kind - Active Learners
