We have kicked off November and it is rolling! We have six weeks of instruction until the end of the first semester!

Our focus for the next three weeks other than quality instruction is integrating the theme of gratefulness into our daily routines and actions.

We are proud to celebrate our Veteran's with our annual Veteran's Day Assembly on Friday November 10th at 9:30 am in the BCHS gym.We invite all families to send in a picture of a family member who has or is serving in our Armed Forces. We will scan the photo and add it to our Veterans Day slide show. Please submit these as soon as possible. All submissions should be placed in an envelope with the student's name so that we can return it after scanning it. Students may turn these into their homeroom teacher or give them directly to Mrs. Opper. Please note that we are adding these submissions to our existing slide show. We really hope you can join us Friday!

Please make sure that you are signed up for my REMIND, as well as the grade level REMINDS so you don't miss a beat! Quarter two is going to be as fast and elite as quarter one and you don't want to miss a beat!

Winter Map Testing Window: November 29th - December 20th

Our next session of winter MAP testing begins right after our Thanksgiving holiday. We will be using our goal setting from WIN to track these next four weeks as we prepare to test in Reading, Language Usage, and Math. I can't wait to see how much we have grown! We will have MAP reports available for parents at our November 7th Parent Univeristy night! Join us for lots of great information and resources!

We are off to a great November start! Our schoolhouse was packed with families on Wednesday to honor our Fall Athletes and I was so proud of the elite turnout and support! What an amazing night! Thank you to all our families and community who supported this awesome event!

I am VERY excited about our first Parent University night this week on Tuesday! We will be featuring sessions on Literacy and Grading, and I will probably throw in some good conversation about homework in the middle grades as well!

Please take some time to read our School and Parent Compact form. We sent them home last week and need the signed copy returned. If you need another copy, please call us and we can send one home. You can also read the compact here:

PTO rocked out the Ghost Grams and they are back selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the morning! Price is $8.00 for a dozen or $1.00 per doughnut! All proceeds will benefit PTO which directly benefits our amazing teachers!

We are so thankful for our PTO and their support!

WIN period is an elite time for our scholars to work on goal setting, grade checking, acceleration of curriculum, and enrichment. Please ask your child what goals they are working on during WIN time! The more we talk about goals and we model that having goals is critical, the more they will work to achieve them! Clubs is running great! I love seeing all the scholars discovering new interests and passions!

The current WIN Schedule looks like this:

Monday- Goal setting and Grade Checking- Goals are set based on Reading RIT MAP scores

Tuesday- Enrichment and Remediation Rotations begin! Short form MAP 11/7 or 11/8

Wednesday- Enrichment/Remediation/Kindness Rotations

Thursday- Enrichment/Remediation/Kindness Rotations

Friday- Clubs !

Ms. Jersey's class is cutting, counting, and sending in all our Box Tops. The first submission is in December! Send them all to the front office! I make it a personal mission to see how many products I can find with them! 😂
