Byrd Weekly Update

Please email beseagles@glnd.k12.va.us for transportation changes! Please have all transportation changes in by 12:00 PM to ensure teachers and students are made aware of any changes.

If you have not completed the "ok to use photo" or checked the photo box in PowerSchool, please be sure to do. This allows your child's photo to be used in the yearbook.

Was your child a student of the month winner in December or January? If so, please make sure to return the yard sign to school.

The GMS virtual curriculum fair has been rescheduled for Wednesday February 8th. This virtual event will be held from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. School admin and counselors will review the course selection process and new options for the 2023-2024 year, followed by breakout rooms to learn more information about our core and elective class offerings.

Will your child be in 6th grade next year? If so, don't miss out on the information session specifically for parents of rising 6th graders!

Is your child interested in becoming an entrepreneur? We have an opportunity for them to show off their ideas! Our school will be having a Bazaar to help others in our community and students right here at school! All of the money from the Spring Bazaar will be divided up between two great causes. Money will be donated to the Byrd Elementary Connie Brice Scholarship and the Goochland County Animal Shelter. We are encouraging EVERYONE to participate! Students, families and classes can all set up a booth in the gym at the Bazaar! You choose what you would like to sell. Ideas to think about include: vegetables, jams, muffins, jewelry, crafts, photographs, canned goods, lemonade, etc. There will be some special surprises at the Bazaar as well!

Students may advertise their goods on the BES Bazaar bulletin board on the fifth-grade hall at Byrd!

Start planning your booth for the Spring Bazaar on March 28th! Applications can be found HERE.
