There's No Place Like Bilbray!
As the winter season is upon us, we want to express our gratitude for our wonderful Bilbray community! We are so appreciative of all of the support we receive on a daily basis: parent volunteers, donations, service on our PTA and/or SOT committee. We would not enjoy all of the wonderful successes at our school without your support!
We had a wonderful turnout for our annual Halloween Parade in October; thank you to all who were able to attend! A big thank you to Mrs. Behm, our music teacher, for working with all of our students and staff members to learn the Thriller dance!
Please continue to use the links below to visit our website at bilbray.snappages.com, for information about our School Organizational Team (SOT) meetings and general information about our school.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Altfas
Please complete this survey! It is important we hear from all Patriot Parents. Thank You!

Student Health Checks
- fever, cough, nausea/vomiting, runny nose, headache, etc.
The Clark County School District’s Health Services Department has implemented a new COVID-19 Parent/Guardian Hotline for parents/guardians to call in the event their student is exposed to or tests positive for COVID-19.
Local Activities To DoIf you are like many families, you are probably looking for things to do in the upcoming month with your children. The following link provided will give you 10 spots you might consider. | School Buses Current CCSD bus drivers are doing their best to complete their routes and pick up extra routes to make sure that all students arrive home safely and on time. The school buses are an extension of Bilbray Elementary, but we do not have control over route coverages. Please be patient as CCSD Transportation is working to hire more qualified drivers. Bus notifications are sent out when we are aware that a bus is anticipated to be running late. | Morning drop offAttention parents and guardians!! It is important that if your child/children have not unloaded from your vehicle you will need to pull all the way forward to the cross walk and pay attention to the staff member holding the STOP/SLOW sign. For the safety of our students who are unloading in both lanes at the front of the school it is necessary for everyone to pull all the way forward to the cross walk when traffic is moving and stop there if you have a student that needs to exit the vehicle. This drop off system is similar to last year when staff assisted the students when exiting your vehicle. Thank you everyone for your cooperation in keeping our students safe! |
