Student Led Transition Program

BPS is committed to ensuring a peer-led, safe, and positive transition for students from military families into our schools. For support, please contact the Military Point of Contact listed at the top of this webpage.
Brevard Virtual School Transition Program
- In this program military students volunteer to be Military Buddies so new students can have a “fast friend”. As a virtual school with limited on campus activities, students communicate via zoom, welcome messages through our BVTV announcements and individual invitations to our various clubs such as community service and student ambassadors.
