Bear Valley Middle highlights student portfolios, June 2026 showcase and community partnerships
Summary
Bear Valley Middle School presented a redesign focused on mixed-grade advisories, student portfolios and partnerships (including a volunteer FTC Robotics Club), and said it is developing success metrics and a five-year implementation map.
Bear Valley presenters told the board their redesign has moved from empathy work into early implementation with goals to develop student portfolios and leadership. A staff member described partnerships and outreach: "This year, we built a community partnership with the FTC Robotics Club from San Pasqual High School, the super nerds," and said the club works twice weekly with middle school students on construction, operation and design using robots.
The school said it is establishing success metrics ("smart goals") that are still being refined and aims for a portfolio showcase in June 2026 as a culminating event. Trustees asked follow-up questions about the metrics and reported seeing early evidence of students and staff adopting learner-profile language in classrooms.
