Since I was unable to recognize these outstanding BGS students at the Jefferson County Principal's Collegial Network dinner in March, I want to take a moment to acknowledge their strong academic and moral character. Congratulations on your achievements!
The state is compiling a map of "drive up wifi spots." Notice any gaps? Hopefully this drives investment in rural infrastructure. It's 2020, why can't everyone have internet?
Unfortunately today we learned that the school closure has been extended until the end of the school year. For more information check out the link below.

What a perfect ending to an unusual week! Today's challenge offered to my ELA kids, share a picture of you reading outside! I did a a little happy dance with each one!
Learning continues at BUSD. Here are a couple pieces of student work dropped off today!
I believe there were 16 vehicles leaving out for the parade!
Here is a link to the folder with learning resources that teachers have put together. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-dUwcVMCKAyXulcJC5a7FUr9VTooUCiA
Also, attached is information about the shift in student expectations.
Hey everybody! BUSD teachers are going to be out on parade in the coming weeks. Step outside to wave and say HI because we are all missing you!
Long distance learning is not for me. I’m missing my 4th Grade Friends!
We came across this free resource from Audible. Your students can listen to books and you don't have to set up an account!

At this point, we are unsure how long the school closure will last. In order to best serve our students, the district needs to gauge how much access our students have to computers and the internet. Please help us by answering the questions below.

This is what it looks like the prep 1,250 meals! Great work ladies!
To all who are receiving meal deliveries: Given the current "shelter in place" proclamation from the Governor, the district is shifting to delivering meals twice a week. Monday will include food for Mon/Tues. Wednesday will include food for Wed/Thur/Fri. We are now serving over 200 kids and happy to do so!
Part of today's governor's address included announcing that the school closure is extended until at least April 7. We will continue with food delivery for the duration of the closure. As we move through next week, we will further develop plans to help with the continuity of learning and will share more information. We miss our kids. Stay healthy.
Even though we are out of school, we can still connect and join one another in having a little fun! Each day, we will post a picture on our Facebook page--just add your photo to our post to join the fun. I can't wait to see what you're up to!
In the news!!
Lonely. Schools aren't supposed to be this empty on a Tuesday in March. We miss our kiddos! #ILschoolstories
