Some updates:

🥞 Family Data Breakfast Info:
💙 As long as we are on a regular schedule tomorrow, February 5th, we will still have our FREE data breakfast for students in grades K-5 for those parents who RSVPd.
💛 Parents are welcome to come into the school beginning at 8:15. We will have two separate breakfasts this year. If you have a child in K-2 and 3-5, parents may attend both breakfasts but will only receive one meal.
💙 K-2 parents and students only may put their things down and go straight to the gym for breakfast. During this time, I ask that parents of students in grades 3-5 look through their purple data tracking folders in their classrooms.
💛Around 8:45, students and parents in grades K-2 will be dismissed back to classrooms to look through the data folders, while students in grades 3-5 will be dismissed to the gym for breakfast.
💙 During each breakfast, Mrs. Lowe will share a short presentation on our school goals for this year and how close we are to meeting them.

💯 The 100th Day of School is now on Monday, February 9th.

➕➖✖️ Math Field Day is still on for tomorrow, February 5th. The students who have been selected will eat lunch early and leave Ashford-Rumble around 11:15 A.M. Parents of those students must be present for the awards at 5 P.M. in the Sherman High Gym. The rest of the competition will be closed to the public.

📚 Extended Day permission forms for students who were invited are due back to school this Friday, February 6th. If any student was not invited and would like to be, reach out to Mrs. Lowe and they may be added to the list.

Tomorrow, December 3rd and Thursday, December 4th, students in grades K-5 will be taking their Middle of the Year i-Ready Benchmarks. Please try to have your children to school on time these days because we will start right at 9 A.M. Also, discuss with your child the importance of getting a good night's sleep tonight and trying their best on these tests. They will show what our students have learned in math and reading this year and any skills that they are still lacking. It will also show how many students are on their way to meeting their Stretch Growth goals for the school year. We will share test results with parents during our data event on Friday, December 12th. We thank you for all you do with your children at home to ensure a quality education!

shopping trip
Shopping Trip Update: It has been a long process, but we were able to have Walmart to fill out a vendor packet, and it has been submitted to the BCS Finance Department. We are hopeful that it will be approved soon. Until it is approved, we cannot fully plan our Walmart Shopping Trip. However, we have secured buses and breakfast reservations at 9 A.M. at Shoney's in Quincy. Grades PreK-2 will take their trip on December 15th, and Grades 3-5 will take theirs on December 16th.

Permission slips will come home as soon as we hear back about Walmart as a vendor. The Shoney's trip will occur regardless of Walmart's approval, but we are keeping our fingers crossed that they have all they need to become a BCS vendor.

We know that a lot of parents have to take off work for these trips, so we decided to put the date out even though the Walmart portion is not fully planned. Thank you all for being so patient as we navigate these new processes!
