Bogan Weekly News

Happy Friday!

We have reached the final month of the school year. We have finished up our state testing in grades 3-5 and teachers are finishing the MAP assessments. We are looking forward to enjoying the last few weeks of the 2024-2025 school year with our students.

May 5th-9th is Teacher Appreciation Week and May 7th is National School Nurse Appreciation Day. It's a perfect time to say thank you to the people who make such a big difference in our kids' lives. Our staff members go above and beyond every day to help their students grow. A handwritten card, a small treat, or just a few kind words can go a long way in showing how much we value and appreciate them.

Please remember that we do not have school on May 5th and May 6th.

Have a great long weekend!

Sincerely,

Kirsten Cannon, Principal

We are excited to announce our first annual Breakfast with a Veteran. Bogan students have the opportunity to invite one veteran from their family to have breakfast with them in the cafeteria.

HERE is the link to RSVP for this event. There will also be a paper form coming home next week. You do NOT need to submit both. Bogan students with siblings in the building can share their veteran- we just ask that you fill out one RSVP for each student.

RSVPs are due by Friday, May 9th.

Recently, grade levels have been earning less stars throughout the week. We were on a two week streak of every grade level earning a star every day, so we know our students are capable!

We have been reviewing the cafeteria expectations every day on the announcements and in the cafeteria. It would be really helpful if you could please also review these expectations at home.

As a reminder, you are able to add funds to your student's lunch account through the Talawanda EZ Pay system. If your student's account reaches -$50 it will be rolled into your school fees. Please be mindful and keep your student's account current. You can use Talawanda EZ Pay, send a check or cash to the school office to take care of your student's balance.

Here is the lunch menus for May.

Hello parents and guardians!

Can you believe it’s May and that the end of the school year is in sight?! There’s been a lot of growth this year among students in every class and it’s been such a joy to have kids come up to me and share with me that they have been using the skills they’ve learned this year in our Second Step lessons to solve problems and to be kind to others.

As the school year wraps, we know that many students will feel the change in going from having a structured school day and being surrounded by their friends to not knowing what to do with all of that free time. Sometimes those big feelings show up as behavior and it’s important to do a check-in with your child and ask them how they are feeling and what could be causing their behavior. We have talked a lot about emotions and feelings this year to be able to put into words what we are feeling, so don’t be afraid to ask the hard questions!

If you feel your student could use continued support over the summer, there are resources you could utilize. This link will take you to mental health providers in the Oxford area should you feel your student needs someone to talk to over the summer.

We will miss our 5th grade students next year as they move on to the middle school, but I am confident that they have all learned skills that will ensure they are successful, both in and out of the classroom. I look forward to seeing all of our other students back in the fall and I wish you all a happy and restful summer!

Guardians,

I wanted to share a few links in regard to recent things we have seen in the clinic to help provide education. If you have any questions on concerns please reach out to me.
