Bear News!
Friday February 24th.
Message from the office.
Well, this week has been a cold one and one for the history books. I hope everyone is safe and warm at home today.
Thank you, Ms. Hayes and the parent volunteers, for last week's fantastic science fair. Everyone worked so hard on the projects. I am so amazed at how talented and organized our kids are. So excited to know who goes to the County Office.
We missed the Bear Paw store today, with school being closed. Please let your kids know we will reschedule for next week.
We are all testing for report cards coming out soon. I am so excited to see the progress our students are making. Everyone is working so hard.
Have a great weekend, everyone!!
Mrs. Fippin and Office Staff
Registration for 23/24 is Open

COVID Updates- Please see new links
Please see the email provided by the Superintendent this week. Emergency procedures were detailed, and the District webpage has been updated.
I wanted to ensure you got the information from the district office regarding General COVID information. Please contact the health office if you have any questions or need any home COVID tests. We have plenty in the office. I also want to ensure all families receive the General COVID exposure notice. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Read A-Thon - Final Stretch- Please Keep Reading
Flyers with info on how to log in under your student's teacher and track minutes have either been sent home. This is a great way to spend a few minutes each day reading with your student and also raise money for our school. If you do not want to raise money, we still encourage you to read and track your minutes. We will have great prizes.
All money raised will support Art Masterpieces, Learning Garden, and other educational materials for students.
For top readers, we will have great prizes. You will have the opportunity to do a pie in the face of teachers, parents, and even Mrs. Fippin. We can't wait to see how much we can read.
Jog-a-thon is coming March 10th
