Read Across America Week starts on Monday, March 2nd. Get out those favorite books and read as a family everyday!!

The more you READ, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go. -- Dr. Seuss

Happy reading! 📚

If you are dropping your child off at school or picking them up in the afternoon, please do not block any of the driveways to our Larkin Street neighbors. It has come to my attention that some residents of Larkin Street are getting blocked in due to people parking in front of their driveway during drop off and/or pick up. Please make sure you pull up enough and do not park in front of someone's driveway.

Thank you for being conciderate to our neighbors!

Unfortunately, we did not meet our 95% attendance goal again this week. Please help us try to meet our goal next week by making daily attendance a priority! We have started a new way to track attendance and earn some fun! See below for more information.

Weekly Attendance:

PreK - 87.50%

Kindergarten - 95.12%

First Grade - 92.71%

Second Grade - 92.50%

Third Grade - 95.94%

School Wide - 93.50%

Congratulations to Kindergarten and Grade 3 for reaching your 95% attendance goal!! 🎉 Watch your 🐝 climb!!

This week we have a new attendance initiative starting! Every week a grade level collectively hits the 95% attendance rate their bumble bee will go up a notch! Once their bee makes it to the flower (6 weeks), they will get a celebration prize! We will have 16 weeks left when we return so each grade level or staff could potentially earn a reward twice! Let's make it happen!!

Please join us for the next PTO meeting on Wednesday, March 4 at 6:00 pm in the Vine Street cafeteria. We look forward to seeing you!

Due to a US Cellular issue this past weekend, many families did not get the school closing phone call or text message. These messages were still sent out via email (if we have a valid email on file) and of course on the Bangor App. I highly encourage you to download this app so you do not miss a single notification from BSD! 📲
