Birmingham Families,

Birmingham Elementary--CARE workshop
We are excited to have the CARE workshop available to students during their CAMP time (times listed below) on Wednesday, February 27th. We need a lot of help to make sure it runs smoothly so the students can visit as many stations as possible. They will experience what life is like for people with different disabilities (vision impairment, dyslexia, asthma, gross motor impairment...) while participating in various activities. This is a great way to help them develop a sense of understanding and empathy. Thank you for the help!

A Message from our Assistant Principal.......
Spring season has still not arrived, but testing season at Birmingham is here. Next Monday and Tuesday, our 3rd and 4th graders will be demonstrating their greatness on the district math and reading checkpoint. These tests are great opportunities for students to show us how well they have learned the content previously taught and what information that we need to go back and review. We attempt to emulate STAAR testing days during our checkpoints. So next Monday (2/25) and Tuesday (2/26), we will not allow volunteers or lunch visitors in the building. We do look forward to seeing all of your sweet faces back on Wednesday.
Our 3rd and 4th grade students need to bring a non-messy snack and water each day of testing. Also, please make sure that they get a good night sleep and eat a good breakfast.
Thank you for supporting our Bears!
Have a great weekend!
BEARy best wishes...

A Message from Nurse Abby.....
Happy Friday Bears!
Parents, it’s not too late to get your family a flu shot. Flu season is underway, which means you can still protect yourself. The CDC states the flu season can last until May. Most walk-in clinics (18 months and older) and pharmacies (adults 18yrs and older) in Wylie still have flu shots, but call to confirm before going.
Please remember to follow our WISD policy for sick students. By keeping your child home, you are reducing the spread of germs that potentially cause illness. A student must be fever (100.0 or above), vomit and diarrhea free for 24 hours without the use of suppressing medications before returning to school.
Please remember to send a refillable water bottle to school with your child. Have a great weekend!
Stay Healthy,
Nurse Abby

Safety Patrol
Please make sure you are here for your scheduled time. If it is below 40 degrees or bad weather, you are to open the school doors for students to welcome them in. If you are unable to do Safety Patrol, please let me know. It is okay if it is not working out, but we just need to know. The next group is:
February 11-March 1- Safety Patrol (Blue Group)- No one from Blue Group has been showing up. Please make sure you are here as close to 7 am as possible.
March 4- March 29 (Green Group)
Have a fabulous weekend!!
