BES Week One -August 2022

We Fit Together

Buffalos,

We had a great first week of school! Mrs. Hurla and I visited each classroom and found lots of community building activities and opportunities for students to acclimate to their new routines. It feels amazing to have all of our Buffalos back in the building. A few reminders:

  • Car Rider Lane After 3 PM- If you are picking up your child for an appointment after 3 pm please park east of Chip the Buffalo and AVOID the car rider lane.


  • Grandparent's Day Festivities- Next Friday I'll share the specific time for all of our Grandparent's Day festivities, but the dates are listed below for planning purposes.


  • Drama Club Information- Drama Club information is attached below and is an organization for students in grades 4-6 led by Melissa Boyer and Victoria Stuckenschmidt.


  • School Lunch Information- During the height of the pandemic, the United States Department of Agriculture provided funding for universal free breakfast and lunch for students attending public schools. This program expired over the summer and families will now have to pay for student meals or apply to receive free or reduced-cost meals for their children. I have linked the website for free or reduced-cost meals directly below just in case you missed it on enrollment. Lunch Payments can be made three ways:
    • Call the BES Office (785-861-1300) to pay for school meals using a debit/credit card
    • Utilize the Revtrak website to pay for school meals. If you haven't used this option previously call the BES Office for your patron number. https://usd450.revtrak.net/
    • Send payment in a sealed envelope to school with your child. Please label the envelope with your child's name.


  • ECSE, Pre-K and Kindergarten Parent Information Night- BES will host a meal on 8/23 for all families with students in ECSE, Pre-K and Kindergarten. In order to assist our PTO in estimating how much food will be needed please RSVP below.


  • Primetime Child Care (Before and After School)-Click on the link below for information about Childcare through the YMCA at Berryton.


With Buffalo Pride,

About Me

As an elementary principal I enjoy working collaboratively with staff members to support student learning. I am passionate about continuing to learn professionally, and building relationships with staff and students at Berryton Elementary. When I'm not serving at Berryton Elementary I am usually with my husband and two sons. We can be found at sporting events, cheering on Kansas State University, or just enjoying a movie at home.
