Cookie Dough Kick-Off Cookie Dough sales are in full swing. We had a very motivating assembly last Friday to fire the kids up for a successful fund-raising campaign. It looks like the company is offering pizza and cookie dough. It was stated very clearly that students should not go door-to-door without an adult. Student safety is our number one concern. All orders and money are due to the school on Oct. 14th and families need to note the pick-up will be on Nov. 12th from 4:00-7:00 at the Intermediate building. Thanks for your support. The money from this fund-raiser goes to the PTO which in turn goes back to the school to help with supplies, materials, field trips and much more.
Fire Prevention Week This past Monday the Branson Fire Department stopped by the school and conducted Fire Safety Assemblies for each grade level. They talked about the importance of having families develop a fire safety plan for their home. The assemblies were fun and very informative. Special thanks to the Branson Fire Department for investing in our kids and community.
McTeacher Night On Tuesday Night, Branson Elementary East / West participated in McTeacher Night on Hwy. 248. With your great support we earned $640.00 which the schools will split evenly between buildings. Thanks for supporting our schools and our community partners.
End of 1st Quarter / Early Dismissal Can you believe that Oct. 17th is the last day of the first quarter? Students have made a tremendous amount of progress learning new concepts, meeting new friends and establishing their daily routines. The last day of the first quarter and third quarter are early release days. Students will be dismissed at 11:45 a.m. on Friday, October 17th. The afternoon is designed for teachers to collaborate, plan and prepare for parent conferences.
Parent Conferences October 23rd and 24th have been reserved as official parent conference days where teachers meet with families and share accomplishments made during the first quarter and set goals for the upcoming quarter. Parents, if you have not scheduled your parent / teacher conference, please contact your child’s teacher for more information. Dismissal these two days will be at 11:45.
