School will be closed on Wednesday, Nov. 11 for the Veterans' Day holiday. Thanks to all the veterans for your service to our communities and our country!
For clarification: Students have to be present 199 minutes to be present/absent. No longer does 11:30 apply. Our prior student information system, Powerschool, counted days but our new and current system Infinite Campus counts minutes. For example: we start our day at 7:50, so students need to arrive by or leave after 11:10am
November brings another busy month--make sure your calendars are marked with these important dates!
No School TODAY (Election Day, Tues. Nov. 3, 2026) but school is open if you need to drop off money for the chocolate fundraiser!
Reminder: No School for students on Tuesday, Nov. 3. It is an optional workday for teachers & staff. The BG office will be open if you need to turn in money for the World's Finest Chocolate fundraiser as well.

On Friday, Sept. 25, we celebrate the incredible people who show up every day with patience, kindness, and a heart for our students. We appreciate how you all support, encourage, comfort, teach, and step in wherever you are needed. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom, and our school is a better place because of you.

We look forward to seeing our parents and guardians for conferences today!
Please adhere to the conference time that was share with you by your child's teacher. When you arrive you will sign in at the classroom. There may be a conference ahead of you, so please wait until the teacher has finished with the conference ahead of you. We are anxious to showcase our student-led conference with you. We are building leaders out of all of our students and excited for them to take ownership in their learning!
Also--we're looking for your input! There are 2 spots where parents can give feedback today. (At the end of the 2-3 hall and the end of the k-1 hall). This is one of our tasks for our school improvement plan, and a way we are looking to Learn, Lead, and Thrive to make BG a great place for all!

October dates are out--mark your calendars and don't miss any of the important (or fun!) things planned for October!
Being in school adds up! Missing just two days each month can put a student at risk of falling behind academically. Every day in the classroom is another opportunity to learn, grow, and connect.
Be here. Keep learning. Keep moving forward.

Look for a flier (or two!) coming home today (Tues. Sept. 8 ) in your child's backpack with some helpful guidance on determining when is sick too sick for school. Our Pre-K and Kindergarten friends will also bring home a flier about building the habit of good attendance from the start of their school careers.
