FORM 10S FOR 2019-2020
Form 10s for next year are available on the district website at www.chicousd.org. All Form 10s are now being filled out online. There will be no hard copies available. 8th graders received a memo Monday which listed the high school they are scheduled to attend. If you would like your student to attend a different school, please fill out the online Form 10 School of Choice application. If you do not have access to a computer, please come in to the counseling office. We have some computers available for your use. If you already have an approved Form 10 from this year or last year for your student to attend Bidwell, you do not need to fill out another one; the approved Form 10 is good through junior high school. The Form 10 School of Choice applications are due by Friday, January 11, 2019 for first priority placement opportunities. If you have any questions, please call Sandra Martin, Registrar at 891-3080 ext. 113.
WAY-TO-GO, GIRLS' BASKETBALL!
Our Bidwell 7th grade basketball team came in First in the Chico Country Day Tournament this past weekend. And Shannon won the shootout as well with 20 free throws in 1 minute. An exciting way to end the season!
UPWARD BOUND
STUDENT STORE CLOSED
The student store will be closed from Tuesday until we return from break. Don’t forget to purchase your yearbook online before they go up to fifty dollars after the break!
LITTLE LEAGUE DONATIONS
This past weekend, there was a donation drive held at Chico Jr. for Paradise Little League players. It was so successful, they opened it up for ALL California District 47 Little League players (Biggs, Chico, Paradise, Gridley, Hamilton, Durham, Orland, Oroville, Palermo, Willows). Bags, bats, gloves, catchers gear, helmets, cleats, pants, baseballs, softballs, and more found great new homes!
THE YEARBOOK COUNTDOWN BEGINS!
Time is running out to get a yearbook at $45! There are only 80 yearbooks left, so there’s a good chance we will sell out this year. After winter break the price goes up to $50. Come into the student store, Room 406A or reserve your copy online (https://BidwellJuniorStudentStore.myschoolcentral.com).
LUNCHES BY LIMO!
Last week's Limo Lunch was a fun time for all students involved! Pioneers who sold over a certain amount of cookie dough and magazine orders were treated to an In-And_Out Burger lunch by limo. As you can see by the smiles, they enjoyed their reward!
