Emergency Supplies
Each year students are asked to bring a zip lock bag filled with three bottles of water and three non-perishable food items in case we were to encounter an emergency at school and needed supplies. This year the Athletic Department will be selling the emergency supply bags as a fundraiser. Look for order forms in the Tuesday folder or you can order your emergency bags at BTSN if you would like to skip dealing with creating the disaster pack and support the Athletic Department. The emergency supply bags will be $10.
Room Parent Volunteer
The Jacoby Creek Children's Education Foundation is in need of parent from each homeroom to coordinate volunteers for the Pentathlon and Auction. If you are interested in helping with these important fund raisers, please let your child's homeroom teacher know.
Thank you!
Activity Center Summer Info.
Activity Center will be closed June 14-16 and reopening on 6/19 for the summer. Forms for the summer are with Activity Center staff.
Last Walk and Roll to School Day
Walk and Roll into Summer Break
Our final Walk & Roll to School Day will be on Wednesday, June 7. Walking and riding to school is fun and easy. Using your feet or bike to get to/from school provides independence and makes kids stronger and healthier. Walk & Roll to School encourages slower, safer, and less car traffic. It can have a positive effect on our children's lives, community, and the world. Join us on June 7 by walking or riding from home, meet at a friends house and leave from there, or join the walking group leaving from Bayside Rd. at 8:00. See you June 7!
Helping Your Child Navigate the Internet and Social Media
Discussion Forum for Parents--Tuesday, May 23rd, 5:30-7:00 pm in the Library
All parents and care providers are invited to attend this open forum. At this parent facilitated forum, we will discuss questions, concerns, tips and resources related to our children’s use of the internet and social media. Topics will likely include how to establish boundaries around screen time, how to talk about safety and privacy, and how to identify and respond to cyber harassment or bullying.
To capitalize on our time together, email any specific questions you may have in advance of the 23rd to Melinda Pedersen who will be moderating the forum.
HRgoddess.mel@gmail.com Your submissions will drive the agenda. ALSO, if you have an app or website or resource you have found helpful around this topic, please email that, too, and we will share them at the forum.
