5210+ Challenge Is Underway!
Hello Berthoud Elementary Families,
February marks the start of the UC Health/Healthy Kids Club Schools on the Move Challenge. This is an opportunity for students and staff track their 5210+ healthy habits. Students who get 80 check marks or more on their log will receive a SOTM t-shirt, and if Berthoud Elementary has enough students participate in the challenge the school can earn some prize money for recess and PE equipment.
Check out this video for more information.
Also if your student misplaced their log, replacement logs can be printed off using this link.
Let get moving and take the Schools on the Move Challenge
Thanks,
Coach Jones

Special Education Advisory Committee
The Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) meets virtually on the 2nd Wednesday every month during the school year. During the meetings, the SEAC receives updates from the district, provides updates to members, and reviews proposals that require consensus/votes. The SEAC may also host presentations and trainings.
MISSION
The Thompson School District Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) is committed to inclusive education; by providing resources, supporting effective change, and empowering students, families, staff, and the community to enhance the quality of education for students with exceptional needs.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the SEAC is to advise the Director of Exceptional Student Services on special education related topics and goals at the district level, including the needs and priorities of students with disabilities. "To advise" means to inform, counsel, recommend, suggest, or guide.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
- Use People First Language.
Respect others’ ideas and feelings
- “hard on issues, easy on people.”
- Participate and allow others to speak.
MEMBERSHIP
- Everyone who attends a SEAC meeting is a non-voting member who may attend all meetings, participate in discussions, and serve on sub-committees.
- Executive Committee members are voting members who make resolutions and key decisions.
- All non-voting members are welcome to apply for the Executive Committee after attending 3 or more SEAC meetings.
