Buffalo Bulletin
Week of September 11 - September 15, 2017
So glad to be back!
Our community has faced some really tough times the last couple of weeks, but I could not be more proud of the way we have handled it. I am so, so blessed by this Blackshear family already!
Some of you have asked about your House names, meanings, and chants. Click here for that info!
Reminders:
- Make sure to read The Exchange for district news and information!
- Write notes for the Building Each Other Up board in the PLC room!
- Remember that you are required to nominate two students each grading period for the P2P Learner Award. Do this via email to administration.
- Morning Announcements: Please turn on your live stream at least 5 minutes early to allow everything to load correctly before we begin. Announcements will begin at 8:15 daily.
- Students should complete all parts of their learner profiles by your PLC day this week
- MAP testing window is open! Make sure that your students take the Growth assessment in each subject.
Helping Our Community!
