From the Principal:A huge thank you to our families that
helped decorate and participate in the BBT float for the Homecoming Parade. What a fun event! Our next BBT meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 3rd at 6:30 p.m. in the Basehor Elementary Library. We welcome all parents to attend.
Special thanks to all families that participated in our BBT trash bag sale. Money earned through our parent organization (Basehor Bluejay Team) provides funding for field trips throughout the year, playground equipment, and many other educational items used in the classrooms. Trash bag orders may be picked up on Friday, September 29 from 5-8 p.m. or Saturday, September 30 from 10 a.m.– 2 p.m.
Mid Term grades have been made available on Skyward for our 1st and 2nd grade students. Kindergarten families received a paper copy of the Mid Term Report last Friday. Please be sure to visit with your child’s teacher at Parent/Teacher conferences or email if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s grades. Thank you for being a valuable BES team member in supporting your child’s education! Conferences are scheduled for Wednesday, October 18 from 4-8 p.m. and Thursday, October 19, from 1-7 p.m. Due to the conference schedule, school will not be in session for students on both Thursday, October 19, and Friday, October 20. We will have a full day of school on Wednesday, October 18. If you have not made an appointment with your child’s teacher, please contact the school and we will help you to schedule an appointment. We are striving to have 100% of our students represented by at least one parent/guardian for conferences. Every child’s education is a team effort between school and home!
