The roads are worse tonight than they were last night. The sleet off and on all afternoon didn't do us any favors, so school is canceled again for tomorrow, Thursday, February 11.
Road conditions still are not at a point where I feel comfortable sending buses out in the morning. School is canceled for Wednesday, February 10. Games scheduled for tomorrow will be decided tomorrow.
The roads are bad and forecasted to get worse. School is canceled for Tuesday, February 9. A decision for any games scheduled will be made tomorrow. Enjoy the day, kids!
The girls' high school basketball game against Sandoval and the boys' 5th grade league game against Wayne City have been cancelled for this evening.
Reminder: Orders are due by tomorrow. Visit the link to purchase a cut out of yourself to be placed in the gym during contests. You will get to keep the cut out after the season. Since the season is upon us, the order deadline is February 9.

We had a food box distribution today and had a few left over. They are in front of the grade school. Feel free to take one if you would like!
We have something new and exciting to offer! Because we have such limited in person attendance, we are offering the opportunity to "attend" games.

Since the season is upon us, the order deadline is February 9.

Tuesday was our 101st day of school. How else would first grade celebrate? A couple of Cruellas and their pups!
Here is our latest broadcast! This episode includes Katelynn Phelps on Teacher Feature and our newest, Mrs. Withrow!

Our 7th graders are studying the Federal Constitution in Mrs. Benson's Social Studies class. In ELA, they were offered the Preamble Challenge. This young lady is the first one to accept and successfully complete the challenge. She recited the Preamble with ease!
If you have a student who will be eligible for kindergarten next school year who is NOT currently in the Bluford Pre-K program, please call the grade school office at 732-8242 to be added to the screening list. With COVID, our Pre-K numbers are lower than normal, so we are hoping that there are some more kindergarten students out there. Students will need to turn 5 before September 1, to be KG. eligible.
With some recent shifts in the weather forecast, school will be dismissing at 1:00. All PM activities will be cancelled.
Part of our multisensory approach to reading instruction includes using sand to draw letters while students verbalize the sounds. Here, second grade students are progressing through the day's sequence.
