Borchardt Bulletin

Hello Borchardt Families,

October has been a busy month, and we’re keeping up the momentum with a fun week ahead! This week, we’ll be celebrating Red Ribbon Week with spirit days every day. Each dress-up theme encourages our students to make healthy choices and to have some fun while doing so.

Also, we’re excited to announce that students are allowed to wear costumes to school on Halloween this Thursday! Please ensure costumes align with our dress code, and avoid masks, props, or anything that could disrupt the learning environment. We know Halloween is a high-energy day, and to help keep things calm and focused, please refrain from sending extra candy to school. Let's keep the day fun and manageable for everyone!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Movie Night on Friday. It was wonderful to see so many of you and to enjoy a fun community night together!

Looking ahead to November, we’re excited to kick off a renewed focus on attendance, with rewards for the classes with the best attendance rates. As we enter the cold and flu season, please remember to call the school if your child is absent, so we can keep accurate attendance records.

Thank you for your continued support, and have a fantastic week!

Warm regards,

Bri Carroll

Principal, Borchardt Elementary

Families, please ensure when exiting the main parking lot you are turning right. Turning left out of the parking lot creates a lot of congestion. We know everyone is very busy, but this simple request really helps expedite getting cars, students and families in and out of the parking lot quicker. Thank you for your support.

Congratulations to our Borchardt Spelling Bee Winner, Ayaan Khan in Ms. Flores' class! We are so excited for you to represent Borchardt at the district Spelling Bee on November 8! Congrats to all our students that participated and represented their class in our Borchardt Spelling Bee last week, you all did great!

Borchardt Running Club is back with Mrs. Cross and Ms. Theresa!

If your 4th-6th grader would like to participate, please ensure their permission slip is turned in to their home room teacher. Our first practice will take place on November 5th. Reach out to the front office if you have any questions.

Congrats to the house of Eticki for collecting the most candy! Thank you to all our parents who donated and supported the Lodi PD candy drive!

Starts this week! Pumpkins are on display in the main entry way. Bring in and drop off your coins to vote for your favorite pumpkin.

We are celebrating Red Ribbon Week! See below for each day.

Student may dress in costume at school this year, with the following guidelines:

• All parts of the costume must follow School Dress Code (tennis shoes ONLY)
• None of the following:
• Face Paint/Makeup
• Masks, Weapons, or accessories (if you have to hold it, leave It at home)
• Gory or horror driven/scary costumes. (Think: If a TK or Kinder student saw you, would they be scared?)

If you have a question about the appropriateness of your costume, please take a picture and show your teacher BEFORE Halloween, they will let you know what is good to go!

All Lodi USD students can enjoy a FREE nutritious breakfast and lunch every school day. That means no fees or meal applications required! Plus, the district-wide afterschool meals program is also no-cost.

UNIVERSAL FREE MEALS ensure that ALL CHILDREN get the nutrition they need to learn, grow, and succeed!

Parents: We're sending a gentle reminder that we are not able to accommodate checking out students within 10 minutes of the end of the school day. Please be patient with our teachers and office staff as the children are dismissed.

Please call the office at (209) 331-8212 to report your students' absence for each day they are out.
