Before School Drop Off
For the safety of your students, do not drop off your children, or let them out of the car, before 7:15 a.m. There are no staff members on duty before this time. For the safety of your child, they must remain with an adult until 7:15 a.m.
Snacks & Stories with Grands
Here's what to expect when checking in for Grandparents' Day...
Visitors with an Event Ticket
An "Event Ticket" was sent home with your child.
- List the name of your child's approved guest (or guests) on the event ticket.
- Give the event ticket to your child's guests.
- The guest (or guests) should arrive and check-in together by presenting the ticket.
- The event ticket ensures parents have control over the visitors they allow to read with their child AND it allows for an expedited check-in process.
Visitors without an Event Ticket
Visitors who arrive without the event ticket will need to check-in at the front desk with their ID. In addition, the visitors must be listed on the child's Skyward account in order to join the child. This line is a slower moving line. Please practice patience if you plan to check-in this way. Also, please keep in mind that these procedures have been put in place for the purpose of keeping all children safe.
*We kindly request that all students remain at school for the full day.
For those with multiple students you can attend each student's individual Activity time or you can select one time and we will get all of the students to you.
Volunteer Opportunity

Progress Reports
Progress Reports for the 1st 6 Weeks will be posted to Skyward Family Access on Thursday, Sept. 12th. Please look at how your child is progressing. If you have questions, please reach out to your child's teacher. See directions below.
Attendance Matters
Bertram's ADA for this past week was 93.69.
ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able.
From the PTO
Start with Hello - Sept. 16-20
During the week of September 16-20, Bertram will participate in the Sandy Hook Promise Call-to-Action week, "Start with Hello!" The focus of "Start with Hello" week is to teach students to be socially inclusive and connected to each other. Each day we will have a clothing theme and an activity to "Start with Hello".
