BWRSD Community Update 6/28/21
Summer Fun in the Sun in 2021!
BWRSD Community Members,
Friday, June 25, 2021, marked the end of a successful school year in BWRSD. Throughout the school year, our students have persevered with the help of school staff and support from all of you. The last school year has confirmed my belief that Good and Great Schools can only exist when they have parent/guardian and community wide support. BWRSD is fortunate to have had the high level of support necessary to make this school year possible.
Getting to the end of the school year required consistent effort on the part of school staff, but also from parents and guardians that supported and followed school rules, even at times when you did not agree with them. Thank you for keeping your children home when they exhibited cough/cold/Covid symptoms. Thank you for completing daily attestations and keeping the school nurse and nurse techs informed about your children's health status. Thank you for picking your children up from school and supporting virtual teaching when conditions required it.
Our community partners were invaluable this school year as well. They provided PPE materials and other supplies that kept our schools well stocked and able to be sanitized by our BWRSD team members. Thank you to the local and state partners that supplied hand sanitizer, paper placemats, led vaccine clinics, held virtual ceremonies and made this year possible. We were stronger because of your efforts.
It is my hope that you will help your children have a fun, educational and enriching summer. Please have them read books, magazines, newspapers, blogs, and quality materials. Help them to find math/science/technology related activities to pique their interest and engage them in critical thinking. Also help them to broaden their understanding of the world through arts and humanities related events such as visiting museums, as well as pursuing their own talents, interests, and career aspirations.
We are stronger when we work together and this school year proved it. Thank you for all your support and enjoy the 71 days until the first full day of school for the 2021-2022 school year in BWRSD.
