Blevins Bulletin

Hello Blevins Families,

This week marked the completion of our end-of-year MAPs testing in Reading and Math, and we’re excited to share that our students showed strong growth across the board! It’s a true testament to their hard work, as well as the dedication of our teachers and support staff. Way to go, Bruins!

We’re also kicking off concert season. Tonight, our talented Orchestra students take the stage, and we’re looking forward to celebrating all of our music programs in the coming days. These performances are always a highlight of the year—thank you to our music teachers and student musicians for sharing your gifts with us!

Today, we also welcomed our newest WEB leaders from the 7th grade, who learned from our outstanding current 8th grade WEB leaders in preparation for next year. It’s inspiring to see students stepping up to support one another and build a positive school culture. Just a reminder: there is no school tomorrow, and next week is our final full week of the year. We're going to finish this great year strong!

Proudly,

Joe Zappa, Principal

Hello Blevins Families,

We need your help! 90 library books still need to be returned to the library!

If your student has a library book out, please help your student to thoroughly search at home, in the car, in backpacks, and lockers.

To make returns even easier, Mrs. Laird is visiting ELA classrooms to collect books directly from students. The library's book return bin is also always available for drop-offs.

Books not returned by the end of the 2024–2025 school year will need to be paid for, so we can replace them and continue offering a great selection in our library. Fines appear on your student’s School Pay account, but will be automatically waived once the book is returned.

If you have any questions about lost library books or fines, email Mrs. Laird at glaird@psdschools.org.

Thank you for supporting our library and helping keep it well-stocked for all students!

Warm regards,
Grace Laird
Media Technology Assistant
