- Friday, we will begin pulling blue tickets for our school wide PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) program to reinforce positive behavioral choices. Builta students have been doing a wonderful job making positive choices that support our 3 R's (Respect for Self, Others, and School Property).
- Builta teachers will review safety and emergency drill practices during our schoolwide safety week. Additional information about drills can be found below.
I've included a link to pictures from the last 7 days of the school year. Builta students and staff have been doing a great job learning and working together as we create and form our classroom and schoolwide community. Builta Pictures
Enjoy the extended weekend. We will see everyone back at school on Tuesday, September 3.
Sincerely,
Ms. Morgan
School safety is an important focus for our entire school community. In order to maintain a safe and secure learning environment, each school year we conduct a variety of practice drills.
We have begun practicing our school wide Safety Drills (fire, tornado, bus evacuation and law enforcement). Here is the link to our district letter which notifies families about our district wide safety drill procedures. Parent/Guardian Safety Drill Notification Letter
- We will hold an official Law Enforcement Drill with the Bolingbrook Police Department on September 19.
- We will hold an official fire drill with the Bolingbrook Fire Department on September 23.
