11/1/26 Bulletin

Good afternoon Borchardt Bears!

As we head into November, I hope you enjoyed our Spirit Week as much as we did! We had a busy and fun week at Borchardt: our sixth graders visited the IMAX theater, another class explored the Cosumnes River Preserve, and our K–2 students took part in a costume parade. Thank you to all of our teachers and chaperones that help make these events possible!

With the time change behind us and cooler mornings here, please take a moment to label your child’s sweatshirts and jackets so they can find their way home.

A quick reminder that attendance matters. Missing just two days a month adds up to about 18 days over the school year—that’s nearly four weeks of learning, classroom routines, and time with friends. So much happens in the everyday moments at school, and we want our students here to be part of it whenever they can. Let’s keep working together to help every student miss fewer than 18 days this year.

Have a great week!

Borchardt Families,

On Tuesday, November 3 our campus will serve as a polling location for the Midterm General Election. Due to this, you will notice additional activity on campus from . Polls will be open from 6:00 am to 8:30 pm near the portables.

Our school and district staff have planned accordingly to ensure that there will be minimal disruptions to the school day during voting times. Students will not access the back portables on this day. Additionally, hired security will be present on campus to help ensure that voters remain within designated voting areas.

Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you to all of our families who came out to volunteer at our Harvest Festival Friday Night! None of this could have happened without all of our helping hands. We are always looking forward to meeting new families and growing our PTO.

Our next meeting will be on December 1st.
