Bobcat Bulletin

As we head into Week 3 of the semester, we are continuing to see such a positive atmosphere on campus. Students are settled into routines, teachers are energized, and it’s been a joy to watch learning and growth happening each day. Please note that there will be no school tomorrow, Monday, January 19, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Classes will resume on Tuesday.

We also want to say congratulations to our basketball teams on their amazing seasons! Our athletes have shown dedication, teamwork, and great sportsmanship. We are excited to head into playoffs for our Junior High teams, with more information coming soon.

A special thank you to our Hot Lunch volunteers—we have had an exceptional amount of help, and it has made a big difference for our teachers and students. If you have time available and would like to help, please check the sign-up sheet. Our teachers truly appreciate your support!

Reminders

Hot Lunch Volunteers - If we do not fill the volunteer spots, we will have to cancel hot lunch for that day. Please check the newsletter every Sunday for updates and volunteer opportunities.

No Jewelry Policy- As stated in the BAS Student Handbook: “Students are not permitted to wear jewelry, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, or rings, as part of maintaining a safe and focused learning environment.” Please help your student comply with this policy.

🚗 Pickup Procedures - Parking and walking up instead of driving through the pickup line is reserved for emergency pickups only. Please remain in the drive-through line when picking up your student. The line moves faster than it appears, and your cooperation helps keep dismissal safe and smooth. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

If your student was absent during MAP testing, make-up testing will take place this week. Students may miss a portion of class in order to complete their test, and teachers will provide time and support for them to make up any missed work. Thank you for your flexibility and for helping your student finish this important assessment.

We’re thrilled to share that Burleson Adventist School will soon be introducing an engaging Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) program called Peekapak! SEL helps students grow in important life skills like self-awareness, empathy, communication, and problem-solving—skills that support not just academics, but kindness, confidence, and positive relationships both in and out of the classroom.

Peekapak uses story-based lessons and activities that connect learning with literacy and everyday interactions, making SEL meaningful and fun for students. It also includes resources to help families reinforce these skills at home, strengthening the partnership between school and home as we work together to support your child’s whole growth.

Stay tuned for more details on how this program will roll out and how you can be involved!
