"Where it's always a great day to be a Bison!"

A Note from Ms. Marlatt

A Note from Ms. Marlatt

We want to thank all parents who contributed to our Staff Appreciation Week! We felt cared for and appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to volunteer, send your teacher something special and for showing your appreciation.


It is hard to believe, but the end is here! In 2 short weeks. we will be saying goodbye for the summer. It has been an incredible year and we are grateful for every minute we have had together. We hope you continue to pay attention to attendance (on time and every day!) for the last 2 weeks of school so we can all finish strong!


This edition of the BisoNews is full of information for end-of-year and for summer. Please take a few minutes to read all of the information shared so you don't miss out on any possible opportunities!


Finally, we hope to see you all during our Field Day on Friday. We hope the weather will hold so our Bison can enjoy the day.


I will send out one final BisoNews on the last day of school - as a way to close down the year and looking forward to our next year together.


Thank you for sharing your children with us!

Principal

Cell Phone Policy - a note from Ms. Sainz

Cell Phone Policy - a note from Ms. Sainz

Even though we are a couple of weeks to the end of the school year, we wanted to share this reminder.

Cell phone policy reminder:


Cell phones should always be in your student's backpack while on campus. If your student takes out their phone in the classroom or while on campus, a staff member will take their phone and bring it to the office. The phone must be picked up in the office by a parent or guardian. This information has been shared with staff, students, and guardians.

All Chromebooks will be checked back into our system no later than 5/23. Missing Chromebook and chargers will be charged to your student's account. Make sure your student's Chromebook (and charge cord - for 4th and 5th grade students) are ready. Mare sure the devices are clean and all stickers, etc are gone. All personal backgrounds on Chromebooks must be deleted. When your student returns next year, he/she will receive a new-to-student device. Turning in a clean device will help make sure no extra charges are placed on your student's account. If you have any questions, please contact your classroom teacher or call the office.

This year, we have been asked to limit the amount of people in the gym for both ceremonies. We have fire codes we must follow, and we are concerned with everyone's safety. Due to these concerns and after meeting with our Fire Marshal and district personnel, we have been asked to limit guests to the following:


  • 2 guests per student. Infant/toddler siblings are okay to join. No school-age siblings are allowed. Tickets will go home on Thursday 5/18. Please check with your student.
