📣 Calling all Byrd Dads, Stepdads, Grandads, Uncles, etc. 📣

Do you want to spend extra time with your student(s) while supporting our school? Sign up to be a BES Watch DOG today!

Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) is a family and community engagement educational initiative that brings positive male role models into schools. As an official BES Watch DOG, you will spend time volunteering in your student's classroom and in other areas of the school (lunch, recess, etc.).

Ready to sign up? Just fill out this Google form! Hurry, sign ups close on January 20th!

ALL volunteers will need to complete a background check before volunteering. You can find the link to complete a background check on the Google form or here.

If you have any questions, please contact our school social worker, Kristin Dunnigan, at kdunnigan@glnd.k12.va.us or 804-556-5380.

Congratulations to our January student of the month winners! These students were nominated for showing SOAR expectations! Way to be Safe, Optimistic, Accountable and Respectful, Eagles!!

• If you wish to volunteer, eat lunch with your child, or enter the school building in any capacity, you must check in at the front office with your driver's license! We cannot let anyone in the building without checking their driver's license. This is to keep our students and staff safe. Thank you for understanding!
  
  

• If you need to pick up your student in the office, please do so before 2pm! Pickup after 2pm should be done through the car rider line.
