The BIS Bulletin

Home & School would like to invite our Falcon Fellas (boys in grades K-5) and a female role model of their choice to a night of basketball. This is a chance for these boys to get on the court with their favorite ladies and show off their skills. Games will be Thursday, February 15 at 5:00pm and all games will be played in the BIS gymnasium. More information regarding game times and brackets will be shared closer to the date. If you really want to show some spirit, Hoopin' it Up shirts are on sale now so you can "suit up" for the game! If you plan to participate, please make sure to fill out the signup form below!

SIGN UP BY MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12 BY NOON. An email will go out to those that have signed up with game times for Thursday, February 15.

Valentine's Day parties will take place on Wednesday, February 14 from 1:30pm-2:30pm.

Parents are asked to park in the middle parking lot OR gravel parking lot to help alleviate cars being parked in by the busses at the end of the day.

If you signed up to donate items to the classroom, you can bring those at 1:15pm and take to the classroom. Parents/guardians will then need to return to the main entrance until parties begin at 1:30pm.

As we are about halfway through the school year, I took time at the beginning of this month to do minute meetings again with the students. These consisted of having a short meeting with every student in our building. It was a great way for me to check back in with all of our students and see how they are doing / how their year has been going. Throughout this month, we also focused on the topic of health and wellness in Counseling. We discussed a few different things that have to do with this topic. We took time to reflect on our favorite moments and accomplishments in 2023 and then looked forward to 2024 and discussed what we hope to accomplish throughout this year. We also talked about various healthy habits that can benefit both our physical and mental health. In addition, we focused specifically on digital health and how we can make healthy choices with our use of screens. Make sure to check back in about a month for another update on what we are doing in Counseling!

All parents (grades K-5) are welcome to join Home & School! This is our version of a PTA and provides an opportunity for parents to become involved with the school by taking leadership in planning yearly teacher appreciation incentives, extra-curricular events, and support for students and teachers. Meetings are held monthly and anyone can join at any time!
