6th and 7th NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM Families
Because of the middle school next year, neighborhood program students will be attending Harrison Park MS next year. Principal Leah Dickey held an informational meeting Thursday night, and as promised, here are the links and materials from the meeting.
Bridger’s Administrative Staff are committed to engaging 100% of Bridger families impacted by the transition of Bridger to a K-5 for the next school year.
This week we started the Neighborhood Middle School Transition.
We had a virtual meeting on Monday evening:
The questions and answers document
On Thursday evening families were invited to a virtual meeting with Harrison Park:
Here is the survey so that we can know what families are thinking about this transition and so that we know if you have any questions that need to be answered.
Starting the week of February 1st, if Bridger has not engaged you via meetings or survey, we will be calling you to discuss what these changes mean for your family.
Virtual Field Trip!
Middle school had their first virtual field trip this week! It was a musical concert by Black Violin and we look forward to more field trips as middle school as well as guest speakers. Thank you to our teachers and staff for continuing to support our students and always looking for ways to keep our students engaged during our virtual experience.

Student Emails and Google Calendar
- Mr. Roletto will be sending information about activities throughout the year
- Teachers will confirm appointments with students
It's a skill they will need to have when they get to high school and expected to use.
Also it will be important for students to use their email because we WANT to text students, but we aren't able to use REMIND messaging directly with students as some parents have asked because their is an age requirement that most of our students don't meet.
8th Grade High School Info - website
I hope several of you had a chance to make it to the virtual info night. If not, you can go to the website for 8th grade information.
