Dear Bridger Creative Science Community -
Happy Friday!
It's been a few weeks, and we are beginning to settle into our routines and rituals around the buildings! It's great to see Storyline characters and friezes take shape in our classrooms alongside the beginnings of projects across the campus! As we move into our second month of school, I want to remind folks of a couple of important dates and our new "bell schedule" for all students.
Back to School Night is Tuesday, September 24th from 5:30-7:00 PM. Classrooms will be open from 5:45-6:45 and teachers will reach out with specific information soon if they haven't already! Join me in the cafeteria for a brief "State of the School" talk at 5:30, and Andrew and Tara in the Library at 6:30 for our ELD Info Night.
Wednesday, September 25th is an Early Release Day. All students will be released at 12:45 PM. The student school day does include lunch for all students. Teachers will spend the afternoon in collective learning.
Friday, September 27th is our Fun Run and Move! This is our PTA's biggest fundraiser of the year! See below for grade level run times.
Arrival and Tardies
8:38 - Classroom doors open
8:45 - School starts. Students arriving after 8:45 are marked tardy by their teachers.
8:55 - students need to check in at the Main Office and sign in before heading to class. Students arriving after 8:55 are marked tardy by the main office.
Thank you for everything you do to make our community awesome! We are off to an amazing start, and we couldn't do it without our students and you!
