Blair Oaks Elementary
Students First ~ December 15, 2017
Christmas Parties
Christmas parties will be held on Thursday, December 21st, from 8:15-9:15am in each classroom.
STUDENTS gather in gym when arriving at school, then go to classrooms.
PARENTS gather in cafeteria until students are released. If you have items that need set-up before the parties begin, you may go directly to the classroom.
Transportation:
If your student has a transportation change on December 21st, our early release day before Christmas Break, we would appreciate an e-mail from you in advance. This will be a busy day and we appreciate your help preparing for it.
Kindness Calendar
Humble + Kind Quarterly Service Project Change Bandit
The two-week competition between individual classes came to an end today. The class that brought in the most change will earn a pizza party next week as well as a special treat from the University of Missouri. We can't wait to announce the winning class as well as the total amount gathered for this great cause!
Looking ahead to next quarter....we will be supporting the efforts of the Falcon Flyers as they collect needed items for the Samaritan Center. More information will be coming home after the first of the year.
Brrr.....It's Cold Outside
Our teachers and staff deserve a break from the cold!! Home & School would like to ask for parent volunteers to help cover car and bus duty for each of our teachers for one whole week. This will take place the week of January 22 through the 26th. Please take a look at the sign up and see if there is a time that would work for you. As always, the Blair Oaks Elementary Home & School thanks you very much for your continued support!
Gerbes Community Rewards
Did you know that buying groceries for your family each week can also help the elementary school? One of our families shared that this year alone, they have contributed about $100! Gerbes takes a sales percentage of those who have signed up and makes a donation to the school each quarter. What an easy way to help our students!!

School Cancellations
Information regarding school closings or schedule changes due to extreme weather will be posted on the cancellation page of the Blair Oaks district website as soon as a decision is made. Typically, a decision to close school is made just prior to 6:00 AM on the morning in question. On days that our district is closed, our broadcast telephone messaging system will call all district families on their primary contact number at approximately 6:00 AM to announce the closing. The Blair Oaks R-II School District will post school closings or schedule changes on the local radio and television stations.
