December has arrived! We have completed our first trimester of instruction, not just in academics but also in social-emotional learning. Our Bard community has made great progress! You will learn how much progress your student has made during these two weeks of parent-teacher conferences. Along with the completion of our first trimester comes the holiday season. This time of year is full of celebrations, and weather your family celebrates Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Christmas, our school staff would like to thank you for your continued support and wish you a safe, healthy, and joyful holiday season!

Grades 1st through 5th Parents,

As we complete the first trimester, our first Parent/Teacher conferences will take place after the Thanksgiving Break. Your student's teacher will be available to address any concerns or questions you might have at this point in the year. Please try your best to attend and take this opportunity to visit the school to review your child's progress.

Please support our effort to keep our students safe by respecting the no-parking areas. The front drive through is only for student drop off. Please be informed, citations will be issued if your car is left parked and unattended.

When picking up and dropping off your students at school, ideally, we would ask that you park on a side street or in the school parking lot and walk your student to a school entrance.

Rear Parking Lot: If you drop off or pick up students at the side gate of the rear parking lot, please stay to the right, nearest the yellow line at the fence. Staying to the right will allow other vehicles to exit around those vehicles still waiting for their student(s).

Lillian Drive Gate: The gates at the rear of the Bard playground is available for student pick-up or drop-off. The Lillian Drive cul-de-sac is staffed during pick-up and drop-off times and is significantly less crowded. It is an excellent pick-up and drop-off area alternative.

IT IS NOT SAFE AND IT IS ILLEGAL TO PARK ON PLEASANT VALLEY RD DIRECTLY OUTSIDE OF THE KINDER CLASSROOMS. There is plenty of parking in the school parking lot, and it is much safer.

We appreciate your cooperation in keeping everyone safe!

If your child is absent, please call the school and report the absence to our attendance clerk. To excuse an absence, please bring or email doctor's notes or necessary documentation to the school office.
