A Letter from Jordan Mills
February 12, 2021
Dear Bridgeport Families,
Thank you for making your choices for 100% or hybrid models earlier this week! We are getting closer! This is a reminder of a few important dates related to reopening that were also shared in an all district email last week.
Wednesday, February 24, Staff Training, No School: This is not a change, just a reminder that staff will be in trainings to prepare for reopening and there will not be class this day.
Monday, March 1, Families notified of class placement
Thursday, March 11 & Friday, March 12, No School, Conferences cancelled: Staff will be preparing the school for students’ return!
Wednesday, March 17 & Thursday, March 18: Both days will be asynchronous days, so in other words, the typical Wednesday schedule. This will allow time for final preparations and trainings for reopening.
March 22-26, Spring Break: Same dates. No change.
Monday, March 29: First day back for K/1 students attending hybrid instruction
Monday, April 5: First day back for students in grades 2-5 who selected hybrid instruction
Please call our office if you have any questions. Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Jordan Mills
Principal
No School Monday Februrary 15!
***REMINDER: IMMUNIZATION EXCLUSION DAY IS FEBRUARY 17TH!
NHC: DRIVE UP DENTAL AND IMMUNIZATION EVENT
A message from Ms. Allan, Music Teacher!
Students earn "QuaverNotes" in Music class Every month students who turn in their music assignments receive a comment from Ms. Allan with a code for more QuaverNotes. These can be used to buy things for their avatar characters on the Quaver Music site! A new music lesson is coming Monday, February 1 - caretakers can encourage your children to earn the new code. Remember that music and PE can be accessed at any time! If the suggested schedule isn't the best for your family, you can try doing specials on Wednesdays, in the evening, or on the weekend.
We are ready to start Curbside Service for the library!
Starting Monday, November 9th we will begin checking out books from the Bridgeport Library. Don’t forget to turn in any books that you might still have from last school year to the dropbox outside the front door. Follow the directions in the infographic for putting books on hold in Destiny. It’s that easy. Please remember to wait for me to email or call you to let you know the book is ready. Then just come by the school during office hours, M-F 8:00am - 4:00pm. You will find your books on the blue cart next to the dropbox. Happy Reading Bulldogs!

Mr. Karr's Counseling Corner
Hi Bridgeport families,
I hope you are doing well. I created a space where members of our community could find counseling, food, and other community resources. I hope this website will help us stay connected during this unsettling time. On the website you will find resources for supporting students at home, such as breathing and relaxation tools, ways to support children in identifying their emotions, and strategies for managing difficult behaviors. I will also post read alouds periodically and will be picking stories that seem relevant to the current time and the current needs of our students.
Thank you,
Jordan Karr
