Reminders for the Week of August 29th

http://bes.goochlandschools.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2016/08/message-1.mp3

Good evening Byrd Family,

We had a great first week of school, and we are looking forward to spectacular year at BES!  The office would like to remind families that we will not issue bus passes for changes in transportation for the first two weeks of school.

Tomorrow all 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will receive their school issued iPads.  If you haven’t already, please send in the signed parent agreement form and the $30 for insurance.

If you participated in the Goochland Library Summer Reading Program, Read for the Win, then you need to log your book titles by the end of the day on August 31st, which is this Wednesday.  Students are welcome to visit the school library and use our computers to log their titles.  Students are also reminded to turn in their Blue Ribbon Reader forms if they did not participate in the summer reading program as soon as possible.

Are you available this Thursday afternoon to work in the courtyard to weed beds and get it in shape for student use?  We are in need of parent volunteers from 2-4 this Thursday afternoon.  If you have any questions or if you can help you can email Mrs. Swift athswift@glnd.k12.va.us or call the school office at 556-5380.

Please remember that the upcoming weekend is a three-day weekend in honor of Labor Day.

iPad Deployment is Monday for all 3rd, 4th and 5th graders!

Attention parents and guardians,

In order for us to issue your student an iPad we must receive a signed iPad Loan Agreement from a parent or guardian.  For your convenience the form is posted to this message.  Students who have not turned in a signed parent form will be given a second copy tomorrow at school.

In addition, please remember that by paying the $30 insurance fee you are not held liable for damages that occur to the iPad when students carry it to and from school.

Please call the school if you have any questions.  Thank you for your time and attention!

Click here to view, print, and sign the iPad Loan Agreement.

Summer Reading Program Reminders

Don’t forget to take a moment to log the titles of the books your child has been reading this summer. You can do this at:

https://virginia.evanced.info/pamunkeylibrary/sr/homepage.asp

Before you login, click on the appropriate tab that fits your child’s reading style: Read to Me, Readers, Teens, Adults. This can be located at the bottom of the image of Froggy.

Remember that students who met their summer reading goal are automatically signed up for the Field Day of the Past recognition for the “Read to Win” program.

If you would like to sign up for the Blue Ribbon Reader program, then you can print the form below and return it to your homeroom teacher.

Students who complete the Read for the Win program or the Blue Ribbon Reader program will earn a goody bag with a free ticket to Field Day of the Past.
