Basketball Jim Jones!!!

Dear Bluffsview Families,

Monday's are usually tough, but not this week! We started the week off with our Basketball Jim Jones Assembly. We are SO grateful to PTA for bringing this experience to Bluffsview. It was fun, inspiring and we got to dance and get lots of movement! These are experiences that tend to really stick with us. Please take a few minutes to ask your child about Jim Jone's message. If they just talk about the fun stuff, you can ask them, "What does it mean to 'Be the One'"? or "What do you think it means to be fail forward instead of failing apart?" Jim challenged us all to "Be the One" this week by helping brighten the day for ONE other person. You could ask your child if they met this challenge. Have a great weekend and thank you again to our AMAZING PTA for thier support!

Honored to be a Bear,

Julie L. Payne, Principal

Keep Calm and Parent On!

September is Attendance Awareness Month!

Dear Families,

Starting strong in September makes a big difference for the whole school year. Research shows that students who miss just 1–2 days in the first month are much more likely to become chronically absent later on. That’s why we’re working together to build positive attendance habits now!

When students come to school every day they:

build routines that help them feel confident
stay connected with friends and teachers
have the best chance to succeed academically and socially

This year, as an All-Star District in the Stay in the Game! Attendance Network we are celebrating Attendance Awareness Month as a part of our campaign. We will be talking to students about the importance of being at school consistently!

Most importantly, we want you to know that we are here for you. If your child faces challenges getting to school, please reach out. Together, we can find solutions—because showing up today builds a stronger tomorrow. Inspiring Learners. Building Futures.

Thank you for being our partners in helping every student become an Attendance All-Star! 🌟

We NEED You!

Each year, our school hosts two book fairs—one in October and another in February, both held during our Parent-Teacher Conference weeks.

The profits from our book fairs go directly back to our school library! These funds help us purchase new books for our students to enjoy and explore throughout the year.

We’d love for families to participate and help us grow our library, one book at a time!

Sign up to volunteer at our Fall Book Fair using the link below:

Bluffsview Bears Cross Country Program

We are excited for another year of our Bluffsview Bears Cross Country program. We will be running on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday! All students who are interested in running or walking laps on a determined course on the playground on scheduled “Bears Running” days will be able to track their amount of laps across the “season” of recess running. They will earn small reward shoe tokens when having reached various mileage marks over the course of the season. We will also participate in optional races hosted by other Worthington Elementary schools throughout the fall. For more information check out our website and our Facebook page.

To sign up your Bear, please click on the link HERE.

If you would like to volunteer to help with our recess running time, please click HERE.

If you have further questions, please email Jen Miller at bluffsviewcrosscountry@gmail.com.
