Welcome Back!
I hope that all of you are enjoying your last weeks of summer. I am very excited about the new school year and look forward to seeing all of you in the hallways and at school events over the next several weeks.
Our district staff returns on August 28th for several days of professional learning focused on supporting all of our students’ academic and social emotional needs. Our 1st-12th grade students return on September 4th. For 1st-8th grade students and families, we will once again host Family Connection Meetings during the afternoon on September 4th, 5th and 6th. The high school will be on a regular, full-day schedule on the 4th and 5th and a half-day schedule on the 6th. B-EHS will also host a Family Connections event on the evening of Thursday, September 12th. An Orientation for 9th Grade students will be held on September 3rd from 4:00-6:00 pm. Lastly, our Kindergarten students’ first day is September 9th. The chart linked here includes more detailed information on these first days of school.
I look forward to seeing all of you throughout the year in schools, at school and district events, and in other community spaces. This is going to be a great year!
Sincerely,
Dr. Chris Pearson

Parent Advisory Committee
The Committee’s objective is to provide the Superintendent and School Board with feedback on the District’s Strategic Planning Landmark Areas: Cultural Responsiveness, Quality Instruction, Social Emotional Growth, Partnerships, and Stewardship.
The committee aims to evaluate the District’s progress on Strategic Plan Goals, Inform future decision-making and planning, and Identify future committee work.
One more thing - as a reminder, last year we launched an exciting new mobile app to help students, parents, and community members know what is happening at schools from their phones. Stay up-to-date with access to events, documents, news from administrators, student stories, and even emergency notifications. You can download the app for free on Google Play or the Apple App Store.
