Burnside Elementary
Notes
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Winter break, December 23, 2021 - January 2, 2022, will soon be here. It is hard for me to imagine that the end of our first semester is coming soon. Teachers and students have been working hard. We at Burnside want to extend to you our best wishes as the holiday season approaches. Listed below is information we hope you find helpful.
Parent-Teacher Conferences: We appreciate all our parents/guardians who were able to participate in parent-teacher conferences this year. We had an excellent participation rate. Thanks again for taking time from your busy schedules to conference with your child’s teacher. Good communication between home and school greatly increases the success rate of students. We thank you for helping your child get off to a good start.
Attendance: Students demonstrate higher achievement gains when they have good attendance. Being on time is just as important. At Burnside, instruction starts at 7:50 a.m. Help your children by making sure they have good attendance and arrive on time.
Covid Information
Our priorities are:
- Maintaining the safety, health and wellness of our students, staff and families; and
- Ensuring that students can stay in their classrooms for safe in-person learning.
However, there may be instances where we have to decide to quarantine classes. Please continue to help us keep students in school by following best practices to prevent the spread of illness.
Cold Weather Gear
As we move into the cold, mittens, gloves, snow pants, and boots will be needed for recess. We do go outside, even at 0 degrees. Let us know if you have any needs in this area.
With the winter break and a New Year approaching, I wish you and your family a very happy holiday season. Please do not hesitate to call if we can be of service.

Flexible Learning Days ***SNOW DAYS***
A Flexible Learning Day means a school day where RWPS will offer access to online instruction or prepared activities provided by students’ teachers during inclement weather. Flexible Learning Days won’t replace the face-to-face time students have with their teachers but it can provide better continuity when school is interrupted. There are a maximum of five flexible learning days per school year.
For grades K-6, students have been provided a packet of choice work to be completed within a week of the called snow day. That work can also be accessed here: https://redwing.k12.mn.us/page/9825
