NON-TRADITIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL DAY 1: Students are to work on Day 1 of their Snow Day packets. They will turn in Day 1’s work upon their return to school. This work will be graded. If anyone has any questions, teachers will be available on Schoology from 11 A.M.-12 P.M. and from 1-2 P.M. to answer them.
We are asking that all students wear blue and gold tomorrow, 12/4, to honor the memory of Ethelyn, the 8 year old child who tragically lost her life in a motor vehicle accident yesterday. 💙💛 The Ashford-Rumble community’s hearts go out to the family and friends of Ethelyn.
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!
Be on the lookout. Due Tuesday, December 9th!
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!
