Best of Burkland


I am in the process of using our new District Website to replace our Blog.  Over the course of the year I will continue to post links to my new posts and moving into next year I will no longer be posting here.  If you have not checked out our new website I encourage you to do so.  You can start by clicking the link below to read our latest edition of the Best of Burkland and from there you can browse around some more.  Happy reading!

Big Blast is Coming!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our annual Open House.  We were, once again, thoroughly impressed with the turnout and all the support from parents. Our book fair was a big hit and it seemed like everyone really enjoyed being able to come and see their child's class!





After School Clubs
We are very excited to announce that our first session of after school clubs has begun! We ask that all parents please pay very close attention to the schedules of when your child’s specific club is running
All clubs run from 3:30 – 4:30 and we ask that all parents be here on time to pick up your child. At the conclusion of clubs each child must be signed out by a parent or guardian. If you have someone other than yourself picking up your child we ask that you communicate that to us by sending a note in with your child. As always, any questions just give us a call!

Title 1 Home School Compact
Last week you should have received a Title 1 Home School Compact in the Tuesday folder outlining Parent, Student and School Responsibilities. Thank you to everyone who has signed and sent it back. We also want to acknowledge that there were some that did not agree with our sending it home and we would also like to thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.
 Please know that sending the Home School Compact is mandated as part of our receiving Federal Title One funding. As the turnout at our Open House shows, our home to school connection is something we are incredibly proud of and thankful for. We are blessed to have so many amazing and supportive parents and we are fully aware that the Compact simply outlines what you already do everyday! Thank you again for all your support and, as always, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

BIG BLAST IS COMING!
Please mark your calendars for Friday October 27th because we have one of the best events of the year coming up! For those of you new to HBB the Big Blast is a whole school Halloween event that you won’t want to miss!
 Did you know that you can preorder your tickets? The ticket & caramel apple pre-sale ends on October 18th (See flyer below). Purchasing tickets ahead of time saves money and time waiting in line. Only a limited # of apples will be available for purchase at the event. Doors open at 6pm. Volunteers and donations are still needed. Go to the link below to volunteer.

Wrapping up the Week

We are wrapping up another AWESOME week here at HBB!  We are looking forward to getting clubs started next week and the kids were beside themselves with excitement that the Husky Haven is FINALLY open!

After School Clubs
We are very excited that After School Clubs are about to begin! Please pay VERY close attention to our calendar and stay up to date to what days clubs are running and when they are not (SEE BELOW). If your child is staying for a club we ask that you please be on time to pick your child up. Pick up is at 4:30 pm and we ask that all parents form a line in the main lobby behind the sign for the club your child is participating in. All students must be signed out by a parent or guardian. If someone other that the child’s parent or guardian is picking up we ask that you please provide a note in advance. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and don’t hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions!  Please note that some of our clubs were not able to run because we did not have enough students.  When possible alternate clubs were assigned.  We are sending home forms today for all students informing them of their clubs.

Open House
Open House is almost here and we hope you will be able to make it.  Open House is planned for this Wednesday October 11th from 6:30 – 8.  Open House is a great opportunity to learn about the curriculum, see your child’s classroom and meet the teachers and staff.  Please remember that Open House is not a time to discuss individual concerns about your child with the teacher.  Should you have specific concerns as it relates to your child we ask that you please reach out via email or phone.  We will also have sign up sheets available for Parent Teacher Conferences, which are coming in November.  Parent Teacher Conferences is the time to discuss individual concerns and to find out how your child is doing.

This year at Open House we will also have a One Night  Only Scholastic Book Fair!  The Book Fair will be running all night long and is a great way to pick up some new books.
Please also consider visiting our Title One table at Open House to learn more about the great Title One programming the students at HBB are provided throughout the school year.
