School News and Information
Happy Friday! It’s been a busy week here at Bogan. MAP testing has kicked off and students and staff are all working hard. It is wonderful to see all the great things happening in and around school!
Reminder of New Hours
Big thanks to everyone for making the adjustments and for working with us as drop off procedures got ironed out this week! Keep in mind that if you are dropping off in the mornings, students may exit the vehicle as soon as you are on the “straight away” sidewalk out back. Our pre school students need to be dropped at the head of the line where preschool staff is located. Otherwise, unloading down the sidewalk will help keep the line moving! Feel free to exit the line carefully to the right once you’ve dropped off.
Elementary School Schedule:
School Hours: 8:25 am to 3:05 pm.
Vehicle drop-off for elementary school students begins at 8:05 a.m.
Bus drop-off for elementary school students will occur between 8:10 a.m. and 8:15 a.m.
Information on any bus route changes has been communicated. See the district website for updates.
Colder Weather
Colder weather is here! Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately, we do our best to get outside everyday.
A quick note about the lost and found: we've accumulated numerous items, so please encourage your child to check for any belongings they may have misplaced. It's also a good opportunity to remind everyone to label their items. This simple step can make a significant difference in ensuring lost items find their way back to their owners.
