Don Benito Fundamental - Updates 03/22/2021
Message from the Principal
Dear Don Benito Families,
We are excited that our return back to campus is near and the countdown continues. Last week we welcomed teachers and staff. They worked on transforming their classrooms and creating student friendly environments with safety practices in place. Before we return, we want our students to practice building their stamina in wearing a mask. Per health guidelines, students will be required to wear masks while at school. An informational video on how to properly wear a mask is included in this newsletter.
On Thursday, 3/25 we are having our return to school orientation sessions at 10:30 am and 5:30 pm. A recorded session will be available for parents that can't attend the live sessions.

Thank you, PTA and Kalea Dunkleman for organizing Don Benito's Got Talent Home Edition! The event was hosted by Dash Earnhart, Student Council President and Brian Dunkleman, cohost of the first season of “American Idol". I also want to thank our many talented Don Benito Bobcats and everyone that contributed behind the scenes to bring a memorable event to our homes!
Finally, I want to congratulate our fifth grade math team for moving on to the final two. They will be competing against Field Elementary on Monday, March 22. Below you will find the flyer for the district's celebration of all our mathletes. I know Don Benito will be well represented.
Have a wonderful week!
Warm regards,
Dr. Bugarin
