Dear Family,
I am sure you all had a wonderful weekend. STEAMfest was a success. The parents and students had a wonderful time. Thank you all for making it happen.

Reminders:
- Please keep students engaged in learning. Work on projects and extending on what they have already learned. Help them get caught up if there is a gap or help them prepare for the next school year. Please keep your students in your room (you should be able to account for them at all times). If they say a staff member wants them verify it. This is the time of the year were they will push boundaries and get into trouble.
The back bathroom is almost cleaned out. The metal shelfing units from the bathroom has been moved out to the Conex. I will assess what it looks like and mark areas for each grade level to store excess materials. We may need to move a few more metal shelfing units out there to accommodate everyone. The combination is the same as the security code to get into the building. HUGE THANK YOU to Mrs. Brackett and Mrs. Martinez for getting this started.
Please pack up and take home your personal items. BCYC is planning on 300 kids this summer. They are already up to 200.
As we are packing and minimizing, please remember that BCYC is asking for shelf space in the rooms.
