9/13/26 Bulletin

Good afternoon, Borchardt Families,

I hope you’re having a great weekend! We’re still celebrating Attendance Awareness Month, and we had a blast last Friday! All of our Borchardt Bears who arrived at school on time had the opportunity to throw a water balloon at staff members at the front entrance. 💦

We are also excited to welcome all of our Borchardt families onto campus on Tuesday, September 22, for a pancake breakfast! Getting to school on time is important—and so is starting the day with a healthy breakfast. Students eat free, and adult tickets are $5 each. We hope you’ll join us for a wonderful morning together! 🥞

We still have a couple more attendance surprises up our sleeves, so make sure your Bear is at school every day and on time!

Have a great week, everyone!

-Bri Carroll

Principal, Borchardt Elementary

Families, our September calendar is here. Please be mindful that there are several minimum days during the month of September. As a friendly reminder, please reference dates below to arrange for pickup.

Dot Day is this Tuesday, September 15! Inspired by the book The Dot, this special day celebrates creativity, courage, and making your mark. Students are encouraged to join the fun by wearing dots to school!

Borchardt Nutrition Services invites all families to join us for a delicious pancake breakfast on Tuesday, September 22, from 7:30–8:15 a.m. All students eat FREE, and adult breakfast plates will be available for $5 each. Tickets are now available for sale in the front office.

All families must complete Online Data Confirmation in Aeries. This ensures that we have current emergency contacts and other critical information for your child.

Students without a completed Data Confirmation will not be permitted to attend class field trips this school year.

Please log in to the Aeries Parent Portal and select “Finish and Submit.” If you need help, please contact our school office.

Last Friday the class with the best attendance in each grade level for the month of August earned themselves a super recess! Congratulations to the following: Ms. Frazier, Ms. Mejia, Mrs. Becerra, Ms. Coble, Mr. Warmbier, Mrs. Nabors and Mr. Hahn's classes!

We look forward to seeing which classes will win next month!

Our first attendance month pop-up occurred last Friday! All classes with 100% attendance for the day earned a treat! Congratulations to Ms. Coble, Mrs. Briggs and Mrs. Becerra's classes!

You don't know when the next pop-up will occur, so make sure you're at school every day, and on time. Our Attendance Team will be celebrating students all month long with special surprises and fun activities…but you can only join the fun if you’re here!

Borchardt will host our school 4th-6th grade Spelling Bee on Friday, September 18! We highly encourage all interested 4th-6th grade students to participate and put their spelling skills to the test.

The winner of our school Spelling Bee will represent Borchardt at the Lodi Elementary North Spelling Bee on October 22—which we are proud to host right here at Borchardt! We can’t wait to cheer on our school champion and show our guests what great Borchardt representation looks like.

Students can begin preparing now by clicking the link below to access the SJCOE Spelling Practice List. Good luck, Borchardt Bears! 🐝

We are now accepting nominations for parent representatives on our Borchardt School Site Council! Parents may nominate themselves or another interested parent by completing the Google Form linked below.

School Site Council is a critical part of our school’s decision-making process. Members review student achievement data, help develop and monitor our school improvement plan, and provide input on how school funds are used to best support our students.

Parent voices and perspectives are essential to this work—we cannot do it without you! Please consider becoming involved or nominating someone who would be a strong representative for our Borchardt families.

Students in grades 3–5 are invited to attend a FREE two-hour Healthy Dinner cooking demonstration on Monday, October 12, at 4:30 p.m. Students and their adult chaperones will learn how to prepare a healthy meal created by the San Joaquin Delta College Culinary Arts Program while discovering more about locally grown foods.

Space is limited, so reserve your spot soon by emailing staff@sjfb.org or calling 209-931-4931.

Our PTO will be sending home Borchardt Spirit Wear order forms soon! Be on the lookout and get ready to show off your Borchardt Bear pride! ❤️💙
