To our families who have received confirmation that you will receive Blessing Bow presents this year, we thank you for your understanding regarding the need to reschedule pick-up.

You may pick-up your holiday presents on Wednesday, December 21, 2022 from 5:00-7:00 P.M. As a reminder, the pick-up will be similar to our car rider pick-up. You will drive through the back of the school by door 4 (also known as the car rider door) where you will provide the volunteer with your last name and number of children. We will then load your car. If you have any questions or are unable to make it, please email Brianna McKinley directly at bdesimone@sd308.org so we can make another arrangement for you.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may bring you but look forward to seeing you !

Happy Holidays!!

Mrs. McKinley

School Psychologist

The holiday season can be fun and exciting for students and families; but it can also be a time of stress and big emotions. Here is a 4 minute Go Noodle YouTube video on "Rainbow Breathing" https://youtu.be/O29e4rRMrV4 that you can do with your child. Breathing can help your body feel calm, alert, and focused. With us working together , (home and school) we can help to streghten students Social Emotional skills.

I hope you enjoy this video and find it helpful.

Please check to see if your child needs his/her headphones or earbuds replaced. Students may use their headphones or earbuds during various times throughout the school day. This is especially true during testing. If you have any questions regarding your student's headphones please ask your child's teacher.

Hello Boulder Hill families.

Our School-wide Independent Readathon is in full force. Each grade level weekly minutes are being calculated, and I can't wait to see what grade level reads the most minutes this year!

We'd love for our Bobcats to continue their independent reading during the break. If you'd like for your child to contribute their reading minutes to their grade level points please submit your child's minutes using this survey. https://forms.gle/CJKb9nevrtqtWZS78

Let's encourage our little Bobcats to READ! READ! READ!

As a reminder, if winter weather interrupts our ability to open schools or hold extracurricular activities, we will do our best to notify you as early as possible and in a number of ways. School closing information can always be found on our website, social media channels, and by visiting the Emergency Closing Center website. We will use our Blackboard messaging system to send alerts through email, text, and phone. Now is a good time to log in to Tyler SIS to view your account information and be sure phone numbers and email addresses are correct! Your school can assist you with any changes you may need to make. Please remember to send students dressed appropriately for the cold!
