Join BLE Veteran's Celebration Google Classroom with the class code ohmzit5 to enjoy our daily student performances and activities. A different branch of the service will be highlighted each day next week.
All military branch highlights may be viewed on our school website on Thursday, November 11th.
If you know a veteran who would enjoy a special breakfast to be picked on Thursday, November 11th between 9-10 am, please have them contact the school to receive a flag at 907-892-9700.
MOVIE NIGHT NOV 19
Mark your calendars... Big Lake Elementary will be hosting a good old fashion drive-in movie on Friday, November 19th from 5:30-7:30 pm. More information including the name of the movie will come home with your child on Monday, November 8th.
ITS GETTING CHILLY!!!
Students go outside for recess (30 minutes) and gym class (40 minutes). The weather has turned cold and chilly, please have your student bring and wear coats to recess and gym. A hat and gloves are also a good idea.
If your student wears snow boots to school, please have them change into a pair of shoes during the day when in the building in class.
Thank you.

MASKS
Health Screening
As per school district policy all new to district students and all K,1st, 3rd, and 5th grader students will have a health assessment during the school year. Additionally, a screening may take place if requested by a teacher, parent/guardian, or in-school intervention team referral. The health assessment includes height, weight, blood pressure, vision, color perception, hearing, and dental. Fifth grade girls are also screened for scoliosis. You will be contacted if any of these basic screening tests indicate that further testing or follow-up is necessary.
If any parent/guardian would like to opt their child out, please email to rachel.lund@matsuk12.us stating your child’s name and that you would like to opt out of the health screening. Please be aware this request to opt out of health screenings must be submitted each school year.
School Dismissal Manager
School Dismissal Manager is up and running!! The easy-to-use mobile and desktop interface will allow you to make dismissal changes in advance or for the current day. You can also report absences, early dismissals, and even schedule recurring dismissal instructions.
