Thank you all for sticking it out with August carpool! Everyone is learning the procedures, and carpool is getting faster; especially in the morning!

Please remember to display your carpool tags in the window so we can easily see you! Ms. Ruble needs to see them at the street, Ms. Hebert needs to see them in the loop, and the duty teachers need to see them in the loading zone so they know in which car to load which students!

If you need additional tags, or sibling/multi-child tags, CLICK HERE and let us know!

Also remember that school zones are cellphone free zones! Seconds add up in carpool, and distracted driving is both unsafe and causes unnecessary delays. 

We appreciate all of you who follow the procedures every single day with patience and a smile! Just a reminder: all students must be picked up by 3:40 p.m. After 3:40, students will be checked into Extended Day and charged a late fee. 

Just for fun, check out this video below and let us know which one is most like you! If you don't fall into any of these categories, which ones do you think are missing? Results are anonymous and will be posted next week for a laugh. Ms. Prescott admits to being Becky McBendyrules at her son's school! Watch the video and take the poll!

Our new school year is off to a great start so far. Kids are in their classrooms getting used to their daily routine. Now, we have started to assemble our new PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) officers as well. We are still in need of a few good parents to fill the following positions:

1. Vice President (K-2) and Sub Committees
2. Fall Fest Decorations Committee Chairperson

If you are interested in learning more about these positions and believe that you could help, please mark Tuesday September 3, 2019 down in your calendar. A meeting will be held at the school at 5:30pm in the library. Outgoing members will be available to answer any questions you may have and we can finish selecting our new officers. If interested please contact Dani Altazin by email at melissa.d.crockett@gmail.com for more information on the meeting.

PRACTICES WILL START THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 2ND!

Ms. Manning received a grant from Starmount’s Strong Schools Grant Awards, and now we will have a BRCVPA Podcast Crew. With this grant  students will be able to participate with next level learning. They will work collaboratively through the entire process of podcast creation from concept to completion, honing their skills of writing, researching, performing and editing along the way. Students will practice problem solving in technical and creative contexts while building a practical skill set applicable to a popular and growing segment of the media marketplace.  At the end of the project students will have a finished product to show, reinforcing how the organizational, creative and technical skills they’ve acquired can produce tangible results.
