Burr Newsletter from Ms. Johal—June 13, 2019


Dear Burr Families,

Today all K-4 students had ‘Step Up Day’, a time for them to visit the next grade level. Students met with the teachers and heard a little about the highlights the upcoming school year brings and they had the opportunity to ask some questions. There was a mix of excitement and nervousness. I’m sure you will hear about the visit today.  As you know, class list will not be finalized until late summer. They will be emailed to you on August 23, 2019.  Be sure to let us know if you want your child’s class assignment mailed or sent to another email address.

The supply lists for each grade level have been posted on the Burr School website. We will not be ordering the school supply packs this year. Hopefully, this early posting will alleviate the late August dash to get supplies and allow you to purchase things at a more reasonable price. 

Tuesday, June 18th is the last day of school. Dismissal will be at 12:00 PM. Please be sure to pick up your child(ren) punctually because it is also an early dismissal for Burr staff.

Please check the PTO event board outside the school for summer activities. One fun thing going on over the summer is the return of the Burr Bookapoolza. The Bookapoolza is a fun summer event to promote summer reading. Students and families are encouraged to come to Burr to pick from a wide selection of free books that they can take home and enjoy. There will be books available for grades K-5, and parents and students are encouraged to spend some time hanging out, talking about books, and enjoying each other's company.  Incoming K students are also welcome. The dates are July 16th and August 13th from 6 -7 PM.

Sincerely,

Mindy Johal
