Learning Celebration, Art Festival, and Chorus Concert
Our PTA has decided to work with a company to sell school supply kits for next year! You have the option to order all your child's school supplies from one website and they will be shipped directly to school for no additional cost. The company is also promising to replace any supplies throughout the year, as needed. If you'd like to order supplies for your child, please go to www.educationalproducts.com/shoppacks and use our school code BUC063.
School supply lists will also be available on our website in June for families who wish to purchase their own supplies.
EOG Testing
End of Grade (EOG) Testing for 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade must occur in the last 10 days of school as directed by state law. We are asking for all families to note June 2nd - June 13th on their calendar for EOG testing.
We have not identified exact dates yet for each grade level. However, having students here on the date of testing to reduce the number of make-up tests is essential. Please mark your calendar and plan accordingly.
Field Trip Payments
For Field Trips and other school related payments, please use School Cash Online which is the WCPSS preferred method of payment.
Purpose
This week, our school community will focus on the character strength of Purpose. Purpose means having beliefs about the meaning of life and feeling that your life has a purpose. It’s about wanting to be part of something bigger than yourself.
People with a sense of purpose believe they are here for a reason. That reason can be different for everyone — it might be inventing something new, bringing joy through art or music, or raising kind and responsible children.
Having a clear purpose helps people stay strong and courageous, even in difficult times. It also encourages them to act with kindness and love, even when it’s hard. When people feel connected to something greater, their lives have more meaning and fulfillment.
To practice and encourage the character strength of purpose at home, please visit The Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families (available in English and Spanish), where you will watch a video together and discuss a quote and three questions. Below are links to this week’s P2 for Families lessons. Click on the grade level that best meets your child’s needs.

Parent and Student Lunch!
Please only select ONE time period per family. This allows two families an option each day to have lunch with their children.
We are excited to offer the opportunity for parents and visitors to have lunch with students once again. However, in order to ensure safety, manage space limitations, and to ensure the process is successful we must maintain guidelines and expectations for logistics. Please read the expectations and logistics on the sign up.
