Special Programs
At Crest View we are fortunate to offer many programs focused not only on student learning but the family and community as a whole.
Family Resource Schools
Family Resource Services (FRS) is designed to support all families in a school’s community. At the same time, FRS recognizes that barriers may exist for some families needing services, such as income, language, culture, or geographical location. FRS provides specialized outreach to these families to ensure they have access to the support they need.
To ensure access to FRS services, all FRS staff at each school speak Spanish, and translation services are available in virtually any language. There are no upper or lower income barriers to accessing FRS services, and most services are free. For services that require a fee, reduced fees and scholarships are available.
Basic Needs Assistance
FRS assists families with basic needs, ensuring that all families in the community receive the help they deserve, regardless of their circumstances. This support includes assistance with utility bills, such as water, electricity, and rent.
Spring: Mon & Tue 3/31-5/13

Gifted & Talented (GT)
BVSD schools provide programming for Gifted and Talented (GT) students based on their identified needs and in accordance with district identification policy, which is based on a body of evidence.
The BVSD Gifted & Talented (GT) Office supports schools and stakeholders, offers professional development, and oversees school-based programming. A wealth of information is available on the BVSD GT Webpage.
The Gifted & Talented Advisor (GTA) is the primary advocate for students, communications, and programming in the school.
BVSD schools provide programming for GT students based on their identified needs and in accordance with district identification policy which is based on a body of evidence. Students may be identified as Gifted & Talented in one or more of the following areas:
- General or specific intellectual ability
- Specific academic aptitude
- Creative or productive thinking
- Leadership abilities
-
Visual arts, performing arts, musical or psychomotor abilities
Schools follow the BVSD Acceleration policy when making decisions about subject or grade level acceleration for students. Some highly advanced gifted children may enter kindergarten or first grade early through the BVSD Early Access policy.
The classroom teacher is the primary provider of advanced academic services to students. Programming is documented in the student's Advanced Learning Plan (ALP) or, at the secondary level, (ICAP). Programming may include academic, enrichment, and affective (social-emotional) supports and extensions.
BVSD sponsors four district-wide enrichment activities. These are open to students whether they are identified as GT or not.
