Buffalo Express
August 5, 2023
Welcome Back!
Welcome to the 2023-2024 academic year! We are only 5 days from starting school on August 10th and we can't wait to get started. My name is Mrs. Bervert and it is my honor to serve as the Berryton Elementary Principal. This will be my tenth year as an elementary school administrator and my 19th year in public education. We have an amazing staff that can't wait to reconnect with veteran Buffalos and meet our newest Buffalos. A few specific notes:
- Buffalo Express- The Buffalo Express is a weekly newsletter that generally comes out on Friday afternoons. It highlights learning at Berryton and also has lots of important information. This is an important piece of communication for all BES families to read weekly. This coming week there will be a midweek Buffalo Express that will be released on Wednesday, August 9th to remind families of our arrival and dismissal policies and procedures. It will also highlight our new staff.
- ECSE- Ms. Theresa's Early Childhood Special Education classes begin on August 14th.
- Enrollment- Have you enrolled? If not click directly below to get started. Returning families should have received a snap code in an email sent by the district. If you can't find it contact Ms. Tanya (howbertt@usd450.net) and she can assist you. She is also the person to help new families.
- Sneak Peek on Tuesday, August 8th- Sneak Peek will be on 8/8 from 5:30-7 pm. This is a great opportunity to connect with your child's teachers, reunite with friends, and drop off school supplies to make the first day a bit easier. Families will also receive car rider signs to put in their dash at Sneak Peek. PTO is hosting food trucks and they'll be at Berryton from 5-8 pm so that families can eat before or after Sneak Peek.
- Transportation Routes- The Transportation department will be sending out route information on Monday, August 7th. If you need to update or modify your information please call Berryton directly and we will communicate changes with the Transportation department.
- Enrollment Fees- Enrollment Fees are now listed on student accounts. This can be paid through RevTrak or parents are welcome to call Mrs. Tanya and make a payment over the phone. The office will be open for payments during Sneak Peek on Tuesday night.
With Buffalo Pride,
Mrs. Bervert

About Me
As an elementary principal I enjoy working collaboratively with staff members to support student learning. I am passionate about continuing to learn professionally, and building relationships with staff and students at Berryton Elementary. When I'm not serving at Berryton Elementary I am usually with my husband and two sons. We can be found at sporting events, cheering on Kansas State University, or just enjoying a movie at home.
