PARENT DROP OFF AND PICK UP PROCEDURES
As a reminder, car riders are dropped off and picked up at the back of the building. During these times, adults should not be getting out of their cars. There are staff members available if your child needs assistance getting in and/or out of the car. We appreciate your help in keeping Earl students safe.
4th GRADE FUN
We enjoyed a colorful “Flashlight Friday” reading time in 4th grade!
4th graders read the story “Too Much Glue” by Jason Lefevre and checked their comprehension of the story. Then, they had the chance to create their own STEM project in Makerspace using glue, inspired by their story!
CONSTITUTION DAY!

FID DAYS
FID (Flexible Instruction Days)
BASD has the ability to utilize one snow day and 5 flexible instruction days throughout the school year in the event that inclement weather or other emergency school closing. Your child’s teacher will review these directions with your child early next week. In the event of an unexpected school closing, the district message will define what type of day is being used. Digital and paper/pencil options will be provided. If a student cannot access the Internet or paper copies of the learning activities, he/she will have three (3) school days to complete the assignments. Any student who fails to complete their FID assignment within three school days will be marked as absent.

LUNCH SNACKS GRADES 3-5
We will be offering doubles and snacks to 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students after Labor Day. A double lunch costs $2.70 and that includes only the entrée. Students must have money in their account in order to purchase a double, even if they are free or reduced. The snacks listed below may not be available every day.
Snack prices are as follows
Cookie $ .85
Popcorn/chips $.85
Ice cream $1.00
Sm. Water $ .75
Capri sun $.85
Please note, that you can send a note/email to the cafeteria if you decide your child is not allowed to buy snacks. A note can be added to their account to prevent them from purchasing. You can also send a note if you decide they can only have 1 a week etc. But you must state what day they are allowed. For example, “Johnny can only purchase a snack on Friday” or “Johnny can purchase a snack on Tuesday and Thursday, etc. We can not answer a student if they ask whether or not they got a snack this week 😊
If you have any questions, please email or call me.
Thank You,
