Hello Bushnell Families~
This week we had our 100th day of school on Wednesday! We've been working really hard every day and the growth in areas of reading, writing and math is really exciting to see.
Both preschool and kindergarten registration for next year will be opening up on Monday! If your child will be 5 years old by September 1st, they are eligible to register for this fall. Our registration process will be online. The first documents we will need are screenshots or copies of a parent/guardian driver's license, a birth certificate for your child and 2 proofs of residency which can all be uploaded into the online system. This link provides A LOT more information about the registration process: LAS Kindergarten Enrollment Guide

A note from Mrs. Cramer and the library: We have recently had many books brought back from students that are damaged, specifically water damaged! Some of them are brand new books that were recently purchased. Please remind your child to take of the books the check out from the library and store them separately from wet snow gear and water bottles, etc. Damaged books that need to be reordered will require payment from families before a student can check out another from the library.
This month your student will be earning another patch for their backpacks! The KINDNESS patch will be awarded when teachers notice students being kind to one another and provides a positive reminder of this important part of being a Bushnell Bear!
The month of February is here. I have some interesting things planned for staff with the theme of "Feel Good February!" In partnering with our PTO, I'm wondering if families can help with any of the following things:
1. Flowers- Do you have an insider connection with a flower shop? Email me at ewalters@lowellschools.com and I can give you more details about what we need.
2. Strawberry Treats- Would you be willing to make or cook a delicious dish that includes strawberries on Monday 2/27? You can reach out on the Bushnell PTO facebook page to let them know!
I hope everyone enjoys the weekend!
