Christmas Program
Tuesday, December 5th will be our annual Christmas Program. It will start at 6:30 pm in the Auxillary Gym at the Jr/Sr High School. Grades 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th & 6th grade Choir/Theatre students will be participating in the program. We look forward to seeing you there.
Congratulations!!
Each month every student has the opportunity to have their name put on the bulletin board in the cafeteria. At the end of each month I take those names down and draw a winner. The following are the winners for November:
Abram Deer for Following directions
O'dell Brown for Being Better today than yesterday
Nancy Bryant for Using her inside voice
Hunter Morton for Being helpful
Cooper Brendel for Being Respectful
Iris Melendrez for Using good manners.
They will all receive a pass to The Rink. I am so proud of all of them.
Cold Weather has Arrived
Students still go outside for recess depending on temperature. This is a reminder for coats, hats, gloves and scarves.
Great Job!!
Students have the opportunity to earn tickets all day everyday. They write their name on the back of the ticket and all tickets are collected in a bucket. If the bucket makes it to the designated line the entire building wins a prize. The November prize was pizza and a drink that all students enjoyed last week for filling the November bucket. Along with the school prize, I draw 10 names out to win an addition prize. The following students are the November winners:
Lilly Neal, Delilah Burke, Remington Smith, Sammy Coffin, Taylor Conner, Nathaniel Wion, Maddison Bow, Abel Lytle, Addilynn Peyton and Colten Block.

Please make sure to talk to someone in the office or leave a message with the reason why your student is not at school. This information helps us to identify patterns of illness in a class. Our goal is to keep everyone as healthy as we can.
LATE START WEDNESDAYS
We will begin “Late Start Wednesdays” for the 2023-2024 school year beginning August 16, 2023. On those days, school will begin at 8:30 am in both buildings. This means that the buses will run 30 minutes later on Wednesday mornings. We will release at our normally scheduled time of 3:05 p.m.
Two-Hour Delay Protocol - In the event of a 2-hour delay on a Wednesday, “Late Start Wednesday” will be canceled.
PM E-Learning Day on Wednesday Protocol - “Late Start Wednesday” will NOT take place in conjunction with our already scheduled Wednesday PM E-Learning Days (August, 23, February 7, April 10). The school will run on time on those days and release at 11:40 a.m.
Early Drop-OFF - Students who do not ride the bus may be dropped off at 7:45 a.m. on Wednesday for a morning latchkey program. At this time there is no cost to this one-day morning latch key option.
If you have any questions about “Late Start Wednesday,” please reach out to Mrs. Wordinger (tracy.wordinger@brv.k12.in.us).
