At Bird, staff, students, families and our community work together to ensure all learn and grow through building meaningful relationships and providing rigorous, engaging, and culturally responsive experiences.

To be a welcoming, inspiring, empowering learning community where ALL thrive.

I hope you all were able to find time to spend with family and friends, celebrate traditions, and create new memories together.

One rule we have at our school is "Be Respectful." We are defining "Be Respectful" as listening to adult directions the first time.

Our January PBIS focus is on following adult directions the first time as adults work to keep everyone safe and students ready for learning.

• Students should not enter or exit a vehicle before the crosswalk. There are posted signs to let you know when it is ok for students to enter the vehicle. Once you are past the sign, pull as far forward as possible and pick up your student.

Friendly reminder to send your student with an extra pair of clothes. Spills, accidents, playground puddles are all possible scenarios on why your student may need to change during the school day.

The safety and security of our students and staff is a top priority for the district. We have been teaching our students to say something to a trusted adult when they see something unsafe. Sometimes, though, there are barriers to reporting safety issues in person. Tip lines are one common approach that schools use to promote school and student safety and well-being. Tip lines are designed to provide students or other members of the public with a safe and confidential way to report a threat to a student or school safety.

To that end, we have created an Electronic Safety Tip Line available on the district website. The e-Tip Line allows students, parents, or community members to report weapons, threats of violence, bullying, sexual harassment, threat of suicide, drugs, and any other activity that could potentially endanger students, staff, and property.

We are developing a communication plan to roll this out to students in upper elementary, middle school, and high school. The e-Tip Line is available on the district website from the “Families” menu and “Quicklinks” and can also be found on the district bullying and safety webpages. If a student wishes to file a bullying report, that Fillable Bullying Report Form is also available on the website.
