Holiday Helpers Effort
A huge thanks for Independence Police Department's support in joining us for our Hoops for the Holidays basketball game! Bridger celebrated raising over $2000 for the Holiday Helper program to support those in need within our community. Congrats to IPD's effort in raising over $3000 for their Shop with a Cop program. It was a great basketball game and the Buffaloes remain undefeated!
Way To Go Buffaloes!

Help Us Keep Our Buffaloes Safe During Car Riding
In an effort to support our families, please review the important Car Rider information below.
• If your student is a car rider, please have your student remain in your vehicle until the doors have opened at 7am. Students should not be dropped off prior to 7am.
• Car Riders should use our car rider line for drop-off. Please review the above map and follow the green arrows. Please use the area marked in Blue as your drop-off and pick-up locations.
• For the safety of our students, we ask that parents do not park and drop off students from parking spots. We want to avoid potential safety concerns of students passing across moving cars.
• Please do not enter areas marked with the, “Do Not Enter,” symbol. These areas are reserved for our ISD buses,
• Car riders must be picked up by 2:30pm on a daily basis.
• Make sure your student arrives to school with his/her schedule. All students should arrive to Bridger by 7:15am.
Ipod Day to be Held on January 25th
Friday, January 25th will serve as our next iPod day of the school year. During iPod days, students may pay $3 to listen to music (on their own personal device with headphones) during teacher-designated times throughout the day.
Students are not to use their device for any other purpose than listening to music. Devices will be confiscated and returned to students at the conclusion of the day if a student is not complying with this request.

Not Receiving Emails from Bridger or the Independence School District?
- Our email system will only email the address of the first contact of your student. Please ensure that you are checking the email address of your student's first contact for important emails.
- If you "Unsubscribe" from emails from the building or the district, this will prevent you from receiving all emails sent by the building or the ISD.
- Have you checked your spam filter? Since emails are sent through a grouplist, some email filters will block these emails and they may be sent directly to your "Junk" folder.
If you are not receiving emails please contact the school office. We will be able to assist in manually adding you back to our email system. This process will allow you to receive future email communications!
