NOTES: 

  • It can be cold in our classrooms. Please make sure that your child has an appropriate sweater or sweatshirt (BBS logo on the front) to wear in the classroom. ***Please make sure to label your child’s jacket/sweater/sweatshirt. 

  • We ask that if you are taking a planned trip, that you let us know two weeks in advance so that we can get their work together. 

  • Due to rotations (Science, Social Studies, and Writing) going up to 3:00, and then working to finish our math lessons, we ask that they not leave earlier than that time. Of course, we understand if there are Dr. appointments.

  • Don’t forget to send in a snack and water bottle each day. Water bottles need to be screw on tops labeled with their name.

  • Please do not take things out of their binder pockets or “return” side without returning them. We will be using those items in class on a daily basis. This also includes interactive notebooks.
