Halloween Candy

Just a quick reminder for all parents to please keep all Halloween Candy at home......we are asking that you do not send candy in with students on Halloween or after Halloween.  We are also asking students not to wear costumes to school on Halloween.....but you are welcome to wear them to the Big Blast!

Power of One

We are very excited to announce that the whole school will be treated to an assembly tomorrow from the Power of One.   We will also be taking the Power of One Oath.......

We put a great deal of effort into maintaining a positive school environment by setting positive behavioral expectations.  We do this through the Burkland's Best, the Character Word of the Week and the Husky Haven.  Positive behavioral expectations are important but we still need to teach our students about bullying, how to recognize bullying and what to do about it.  There are also many things you can do at home to support our efforts.  

For starters, please take some time to ask your child about the Power of One assembly and the pledge they took.  You can also talk about recognizing the signs of bullying and what to do about it.  For more information what to talk about with you child check out this site....
