ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able.

This week’s How to Help at Home guide is full of simple ways to support learning and leadership beyond the classroom! In reading, students are learning to identify text structures, and families can help by looking for signal words and discussing how a story or informational text is organized. In math, we're focusing on number sense and place value. Practice by finding numbers in everyday life, comparing numbers, or challenging your child to create the largest and smallest numbers using different digits.

We're also encouraging families to spread kindness through a Family Kindness Scavenger Hunt and practice Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood by listening without interrupting and considering others' perspectives.

These small moments of learning, conversation, and kindness make a big difference. Check out this week's guide for fun, easy ways to help your Bulldog grow at home!

We are excited to announce that students who return the permission slip will attend the Pep Rally at Burnet High School on the morning of November 6, 2026. With the full experience of cheerleaders, band, and games, we know this will be a fun and unforgettable event.

**Please plan accordingly!**

Due to seating limitations and safety practices, we will not be able to accommodate parent observers at this event, and parents will not be permitted to check students out for the day while away from campus.

Bertram Elementary is hosting a food drive benefiting the Bertram Community Cupboard November 9–13! We're sharing the news early so families can begin gathering non-perishable food items to help support our neighbors in need. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference for families right here in Bertram!

To add a little friendly competition, the class that collects the most donations will earn a special ice cream float party!

We invite all veterans and their families to join us at Bertram Elementary on Wednesday, November 11, as we honor and celebrate those who have served our country.

The assembly will include special recognition of our local veterans and musical performances by our 1st and 2nd grade students.

Doors will open at 8:15 a.m., with the program beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Bertram Elementary cafeteria.

We are grateful for the service and sacrifices of our veterans and look forward to celebrating them!
