WE CARE Update!
On Thursday, November 8th the 7th and 8th grade We Care girls boarded a bus for a field trip to the College of Medicine at the University of Iowa. The girls spent time learning about a variety of careers related to healthcare. They participated in three sessions that ranged from learning how to perform different types of suture knots, to participating in hands on activities with a child life therapist from the children’s hospital, to learning about a wide variety of careers in neuropathology. The girls even got to touch a human brain! The girls did a fantastic job engaging in the activities and asking questions!

How to access your students ISASP Scores
Please use this link to our District's website for information on how to access your student's scores for the Spring 2023 Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP), which students completed this past April.
Links and instructions are provided on how to find your student's scores on Infinite Campus, as well as a more complete student report, which can be found at the ISASP website.
Please reach out with any questions.
Lunch Accounts
All lunch account payments can be managed through the Infinite Campus parent portal. If you have questions please email Christy Hahn.
Automatic Payments for School Meals
We'd like to inform you of a convenient way to manage your child's school meals account. Parents and guardians now have the option to set up automatic meal payments through Infinite Campus, our online platform. By enabling this feature, you can ensure that your child's meal account remains funded without the hassle of manual payments. To set up automatic payments, simply log in to your Infinite Campus account and (click here to) follow the instructions.
Thank you for your continued support in providing the best for our students.
Sports Physicals
This is an exciting time for young athletes of all experience levels. To be eligible for participation, the school needs you to:
- Complete the online Activity Registration. Here is the link to the Activity Registration Page.
- Submit a completed Iowa Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Examination form to the MS Office (either electronically or drop off a copy). Physical Form Link
No athlete is allowed to practice or compete until both of these steps have been completed. (The athlete is highly encouraged to attend practice to observe so that they are "up to speed" when they are deemed eligible.)
Questions? Please reach out Cassie Nelson at nelsonc@bfschools.org or 515-957-7970.
Thank you!
