Bear Necessities: Week of 9/7

What a special week at Battlefield! We loved welcoming so many of our grandparents into the building for Grandparents Breakfast. It was wonderful to see our Bears spending time with their grandparents and getting to share a little piece of their school day with them.

Many grandparents also had their picture taken with their grandchild. We will send those pictures home with students as soon as we receive them. Our grandparents also had a chance to stop by the Book Fair and do a little shopping! Remember, the Book Fair will remain open through Wednesday.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make Grandparents Breakfast such a special event for our students!

I hope all of our Battlefield families enjoy the Labor Day weekend and some extra time together. We look forward to seeing our Bears back at school and ready for another great week!

Parents, we need your help! Squishies, NeeDoh, slime, and similar items are toys and should be left at home. Over the past few weeks, we have had several situations where these items have busted, made a mess, or caused conflict between students.

Just like other toys, these items can become a distraction during the school day. Please help us by checking backpacks and reminding your child to leave them at home.

Thank you for helping us keep the focus on learning and taking care of our school!

As we get settled into the school year, we want to remind families that our school day begins promptly at 7:50 a.m.

If your child plans to eat breakfast at school, please make every effort to have them arrive by 7:30 a.m. This gives students plenty of time to eat breakfast, get to class, and be ready for the day before instruction begins.

In the next few weeks, we will also begin our morning Reading Clubs. Students will switch to different classrooms for these groups beginning at 7:50. When students arrive close to 7:50 and still need to eat breakfast, they may miss valuable time with their Reading Club.

Breakfast at school? Aim for 7:30! This small adjustment will help your child start the day fed, settled, and ready to learn.
