April 2, 2023

Dear Burns Park Families,


We hope everyone had a restful and wonderful spring break! We have made it to the last term of the 22-23 school year!


It is almost that time of year for the the Burns Park Run! The Burns Park Run is scheduled for Sunday, May 7th, 2023, starting at 8:30 AM and volunteers to support this wonderful event are still needed! We would love your help - if you are interested in volunteering, please check out the volunteer opportunities here. To sign up for the race, click here.


Report cards were sent home via email in secure document format. If you need help accessing your student's report card, please reach out to Leslee or Heather.


As a reminder - with weather warming up, we will begin eating outside again. When eating outside, students will always have access to tables for eating. Students should continue dressing for the weather. As always, in the case of inclement weather/low temperatures, we will eat inside.


Lastly - please note, there is no school this Friday, April 7th. For all those that celebrate Easter, we wish you a wonderful Easter Sunday!


Love and Peace,

Heather & Leslee
