It's only the second week of school and there are already so many exciting things happening here at BIS! With week one under our belts, students and teachers have been able to dig into content a little more this week, refining skills learned last year and exploring new material! We've managed to sneak a little extra fun in after school with our Back to School Bash and during lunch on Friday when some students got to each lunch with Mrs. Burns outside!

• Water bottles: Students should bring their own water bottle from home each day. If a student consistently does not have a water bottle, parents will be contacted.
• Drop-off: Doors do not open until 7:30a.m. Students are able to eat breakfast when they get to school.
• Pick-Up: If students are car riders they should be picked up by 3:10p.m. If you pick up in the car rider line and ONLY have students at the elementary- don't forget that you can go through the middle parking lot and bypass the line in front of the Intermediate school. If you have children in both BES and BIS, then you will need to follow the line in front of the Intermediate school.
