If you are traveling during the school year an Educational Trip form needs to be completed. Students have 10 days they are allowed for absences in a school year. Anything beyond the 10 days requires a doctor's note. Please know that trips during PSSA testing for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will not be approved and will be considered unlawful.

If your child is going to be tardy, absent or leaving early, please email BEDAttendance@pennridge.org .

If your child is a car rider, please email BEDAttendance@pennridge.org before 1:00 pm. Please include your child's name, teacher’s name, date and car rider number.

On Monday, September 15th, Bedminster celebrated Dot Day! 5th Grade enjoyed meeting their 1st grade buddies and completing an activity with them! They each designed a half of a dot and glued the two halves together to make one super unique dot! It was an awesome way to celebrate everyone’s ability to make their mark! We are looking forward to other activities throughout the school year with our buddies.

Over the summer, several of our talented students had their artwork proudly displayed at State Representative Shelby Labs’ office! Their creativity brightened the space and inspired all who visited. We are so proud of their hard work and excited to share their beautiful pieces with you here. 🎨🌟

Hi Bobcats!

Once again this year we are singing a “Song of the Month”. This year’s theme is “State Song of the Month.” Every month we will sing a song that mentions the name of one or more states in the USA. Our song for the month of August & September was “State Laughs Song”. Ask your child/children to sing our song and other songs that they are learning in music class every week.

Fourth and Fifth Grade students also have the opportunity to join the Bobcat Chorus. Chorus is a free activity that not only reinforces concepts taught in music class, but also allows students to be part of a team, build confidence and have fun creating music. This year chorus will be held once a week during EI time.

Please reach out at any time if you have any questions about what we are learning in music class OR if you have a suggestion for a “State Song of the Month”.

Mr. Vogel was Kindergarten's mystery reader during their September K Cafe! K Cafe is a monthly themed book, craft, and snack to help build friendships amongst all of Kindergarten, socialize, and engage in fun learning with our peers. Our September theme was Apples for Johnny Appleseed Day, which included a read aloud, apple pie in a cup, and an apple Q-Tip painting activity!

Students from Mrs. Lawrence’s class assisted Mrs. Volak to count and plant seeds from NASA. We were given 2 packs of seeds to plant: 1 pack of tomato seeds spent 6 months on the International Space Station and 1 pack stayed here on Earth as the control group. We planted them and now we wait to see how many will germinate. When we sent results back to NASA, they will let us know which seeds (Pack A or B) went to space! Stay tuned!
