One of our favorite traditions at Byrd is Reading Buddies!
Older students pair up with younger ones to share stories, laughter, and the joy of reading together. These special moments build confidence, connection, and a love of books that lasts all year long.

Happy School Custodian Appreciation Day! We are so lucky to have our amazing crew, and we are thankful for you every day! For all of the seen and unseen work, you truly make our school a better place!
Happy National Principals Month! We are grateful for our very special principal every month of the year! Your hard work makes our community stronger and better! In the words of Darth Vader - probably about Mr. Meiller, "The Force is strong with this one.”
Our kindergarteners have been hard at work this marking period! They love hands-on building activities for math and reading. We are lucky to have Mrs. Slater pushing in for math support!
Look at these boys holding the doors for others! We are so proud of our Eagles with awesome manners!
Thank you Mr. Mock for helping 3rd graders in Mrs. Nemetz room to learn more about the continents and oceans while having so much fun with the Indy Car robots!
Our 5th graders are loving our new STEM equipment. They can cut thick cardboard quickly and precisely with the ChompSaw!
🍃🐝 Goochland Outdoors 2025 🐝🌳
Last Thursday, all of our 5th graders from Goochland, Randolph, and Byrd Elementary Schools came together at Westview on the James for Goochland Outdoors — a day of hands-on learning in nature!
Students had the chance to:
🐝 Learn from one of our very own teachers (and beekeeper!) about the vital role bees play in our ecosystem.
🌳 Hear from True Timber arborists about the importance of trees and vegetation in keeping our environment healthy.
🌱 Work alongside Master Gardeners to explore native and non-native plants and their impact on our ecosystems.
This special day gave our students the chance to connect classroom learning with the natural world around them — sparking curiosity and appreciation for the environment. 🌎✨

September 26th is National School Parent Group Appreciation Day. Thank you to our amazing BPG for supporting our BES Students and Staff. You all always have the most creative and fun ideas for our school community.
🍔🌭 Before kickoff at Goochland High School’s first home football game, our GCPS family came together for an employee cookout! Superintendent Armstrong and Assistant Superintendents Waggener and Geyer fired up the grill, serving burgers, hot dogs, chips, and drinks for staff and their families. 💛🐾❤️
It was a great night of food, fun, and Bulldog spirit! 🏈
