Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. Start building this habit in preschool so they learn right away that going to school on time, every day is important. Eventually good attendance will be a skill that will help them succeed in high school and college.

Spirit Week at K-2

#BobcatNation celebrates and appreciates our IT folks! From NationalDayCalendar.com : The IT (information technology) professional is the unsung hero of modern business. These under-appreciated wizzes tackle the obstacles that leave the rest of us scratching our heads. Whether it be desktops, laptops, mobile devices, applications, servers, networks, databases or cybersecurity, IT professionals keep business humming.

Did you know? The signing of the United States Constitution was on September 17, 1787, and each year on September 17, Constitution Day is observed by the US Department of Education.

From the National Park Service: For months following September 11, 2001, people came together to grieve family, friends, and strangers. More than 20 years later, we still do. Sometimes called “Patriots Day” or “Day of Remembrance”, September 11 has become an annual day for many Americans to remember, reflect, honor, and mourn.

Attention Families: There was a social media post two days ago related to a national snap-chat trend by a middle school student. District administration has investigated the post and situation and found it to be non-threatening. All students are safe at Berryville Schools.

Ways to celebrate International Literacy Day: • Volunteer Those who love to read or are above grade level could tutor other students. You can also support a local literacy event. • Donate books Donate to a local literacy initiative or underfunded school. • Read a book Pick up a book and read to spark joy, learning, and adventure. • Visit a library Arrange a library tour with a librarian to foster a love of reading and language.

Reminder: No School on Monday, September 2nd. Happy Labor Day Weekend to #BobcatNation !

We are excited to announce that we have increased student safety on our buses by implementing a new card scanning system! Starting this week, students are learning to scan their cafeteria/transportation cards when they get on and off the buses. This system gives us the ability to know that each student is safely on the correct bus and that they get off at the correct location. Please encourage your student(s) to keep up with their cards. More information will be coming soon. Stay tuned!

Parents, please be aware of the drop-off and pick-up traffic patterns for K-2 and 3-5. We will be making some changes to our morning traffic patterns, so please be patient as we work through this process. Also, please be patient and remember that our new kindergarteners are learning lots of new procedures. Safety First! Note: It is always best to start school with the student's regular mode of transportation to help establish routines and speed up the process for all involved.

Families, there will be a mandatory meeting for those interested in Bobcat Academy (after school program) on Tuesday, August 13, at 5:30 pm in the Intermediate School cafe. This is for those who have pre-registered online, or want more information. The program is FREE, offered for kids in grades K-6, meal and transportation provided. We will have the official registration paperwork on hand. Join us next Tuesday!
