One week of the 2022-2023 school year is already in the books!

Students started their beginning of year assessments already. As a personalized learning school we rely heavily on data to help our teachers provide instructional activities for our kiddos based on student need. We will continue assessments for the next week or so. Data from these assessments will be sent home on the beginning of year (BOY) progress report the middle of September.

Please keep reading for more information about this past week and information for the upcoming week.

Thank you for entrusting us with your students! Have a fabulous weekend!

This is NOT a dress down day. Students must wear school dress code clothing. In the spring we will have another picture day where students will have a free dress down day.

In the middle of September students will receive a progress report with their beginning of year (BOY) data and an indicator regarding the student's on grade, below grade or above grade level for that assessment. These progress reports are sent home three times each year.

1. One entrance and one exit
2. NO left turn out of the parking lot during school hours.
3. Pull forward during pick up and drop off AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.
4. Be patient - be kind - be observant!

Students are NOT allowed to cross through the parking lot without their adult guardian. Do not stand at your car and motion your kids to come to you. Park your car, get out, and come to the front curb to safely escort your kids to your vehicle.

Please do NOT park across the street from the school and attempt to navigate crossing the road. NEVER drop your kids off and have them walk across the street to the school and especially, do not park here after school and motion for your kids to come to your car. This is extremely dangerous as cars turn the corner off of 4800 S and are not always paying attention.

Please do NOT park at the pharmacy. This is a private business and they get pretty upset when Bridge families hog up all their parking spots.

Morning Supervision - drop off (after the first day of school) is 7:30 - 8:25 am. School begins promptly at 8:30 am. Students are NOT allowed to play outside or run around the school in the morning. In the morning, students come into the school and go to the gym for breakfast (served 7:45 - 8:15) and then go to their designated place. We have an adult door greeter each morning who will help kids find where they need to go in the morning. Additionally, on the first day of school teachers will share this information with students and show them where the student goes in the morning.

BASE - BASE is held M - TH, 3:30 - 4:30 pm. It is an enrichment program that extends the school day by providing students with engaging academic activities. Students who attend BASE also receive FREE dinner at 4:15 pm.

Each day students have a different focus area:

Monday - Literacy or Writing

Tuesday - STEM (science, technology, engineering or math)

Wednesday - Fine Arts or Movement

Thursday - Natural World - History - Holidays

Students MUST be signed up to attend BASE. Our teachers use the list to help determine which students remain at school and which students need to go outside and wait for their pick up.

The information about BASE, including the sign up, can be found on our website under CALENDARS > SCHEDULES. The link for the sign up is below.
