Bridport Community Newletter

Week 13
November 16th, 2025
We had an awesome week at BCS filled with snow, laughter and learning. Classrooms are finishing up units in math and inquiry, and students are so excited to share their new learning!
Just this week...
- 2/3 excitedly told a visitor about how they know if something is a fossil,
- K/1 is busy designing their own crayon colors,
- and 4/5 students are researching someone who has made an impact.
- Preschoolers are busy doing art projects this week, and practicing their fine motor skills.
- and all students got to explore a GIANT map of Lake Champlain's water systems brought by the Maritime Museum!
When you next see a Bridport student, please take a moment to engage them on the topic of their current studies—ask them what they are learning, and how they came to know it. They are eager to share the focus and passion that defines their educational journey!
Best,
Jenny

The Vermont Department of Health has available FREE Lockboxes for families!
A Health Department report shows a rise in accidental ingestion of substances by children since 2018, based on emergency department data. For children under 4 years old and children 10 to 14 years-old over-the-counter (OTC) medication and prescription medication were the most common substances involved in unintentional overdoses in 2022. For children 5 to 9 years old the most common substances involved in unintentional overdoses also included prescription medication.
Here is the form to order a lock box, and if you need assistance please reach out and the school can assist you in ordering one. See attached the flyer for more information!
