The B.Y.E. Buzz

Enjoy your extra long weekend. There will be no school on Monday due to Labor Day.

Tuesday lunch choice change. #1 is Burrito and #2 is Chicken Fajita.

The parent curriculum night is this Tuesday! We would love to have all parents attend a grade level meeting to learn what your child will be taught this year and how you can help at home. You can also visit our specials tables to hear the opportunities that are provided in library, music, art, and PE. We will host two sessions to meet the administration team and here the State of the School Address. We will discuss information about our new curriculum, state testing program, and all things B.Y.E. While students are required to attend student-led conferences, the curriculum night can be for adults only.

The Kinder, 2nd, and 4th grade sessions will be translated to Spanish at 5:30. The 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade sessions will be translated at 6:00. The STEM session will be translated at 5:00 and the principal session will be translated at 6:30.

The attendance policy contract will be coming home on Tuesday. Please be sure to have your students at school each day. If they can't be at school, call the office and send a doctors note (if applicable).

Parents, if you have received a letter or text regarding deficient vaccines for your student, please consider using one of our School Based Health Clinics (SBHC) to get them back on track!

You can call each clinic site directly or text #CCSpringale to schedule at appt at 855-438-2280.

Kindergarten, First, Second, and Third grades will be taking the ATLAS Screener this fall. This new assessment system replaces the MAP test we took previously. This is the same assessment system that students will take 3rd-10th grades. Please see the attached photos for more information!
