First Full Week!

This week we had our Community Meeting with each grade and had the opportunity to discuss a variety of things with students and to tell them about the year ahead. The big message of our meetings this month was that You Can Do Anything! We want our students to understand that with hard work and perseverance they can be and do anything they put their mind to. We also discussed how your brain is just like a muscle and it actually gets stronger when you work on challenging things.  In 5th grade one of our 5th grade students talked about the book Wonder and the importance of being kind to each other!  We hope that you can take a moment to discuss your child’s goals with them and encourage them to stretch themselves and to work their hardest in everything they do!

PTA and New Rugs

This week we hosted our 1st PTA meeting of the year and we had a GREAT turnout!  If you were not able to make it I hope you consider attending our next meeting which is scheduled for October 12th at 6:30 pm.  Our PTA does so many great things for the school and they truly help HBB be Burkland's BEST!  Through their fundraising efforts we are able to do so many wonderful things from field trips, the Husky Haven and our new rugs!  Check them out below!  Thank you for everyone who made it out to the meeting and we are looking forward to another great year!

Open House
Please mark your calendars for October 11th and plan on joining us for our annual Open House from 6:30 – 8! This is a great way to see your child’s classroom and meet the staff. We will have sign ups for Parent Teacher Conferences available during Open House and we hope to see you all there!

Bounce Pages
Looking for a way to better understand that math homework?  Bounce Pages is an app available in the App Store and Google Play that allows parents the opportunity to watch animated videos related to each and every math lesson this year. All you have to do is take a picture of your child’s homework and you will be provided a couple videos related to their homework and the concepts being taught in class. We hope you find Bounce Pages helpful and should you want more information please click the “Bounce Pages for Envisions Homework” right hand side of this page.

New Books

Over the summer our school library was lucky enough to have members of the Oak Point Book Club visit our library and buy some books for our library. I know the students of HBB will be very excited to see the new books. Thank you members of the Oak Point Book Club.
