Dear Parents,

        Wow, this is it...the end of the school year 2011-2012! Didn't we just begin!!??
It has been a wonderful year...good kids, good parents, good times, good learning. Thank you for being so supportive throughout the year.
         This week marks the end of assessments for math and science. Thursday will be the last math chapter test over decimals (chapters 18, 19), and Friday will be the last science test over simple machines (chapter 6). The students have done an outstanding job with their task menus for simple machines, taking charge of their own learning.
            Our Field Day is next Wednesday, May 16. It will take place on the LHS track, located behind the high school. We'll leave BRE around 8:45, and should return between 11:30 and 12:00. The students will need to dress appropriately for the weather (whatever it might be), bring towels to sit on, as well as water bottles. This will be Mrs. Barton's last Field Day, she is retiring this year. Both she and Coach Myers have done a terrific job getting the students ready for the big day.
        Our end-of-the-year party will be Friday, May 18, from 11:00 to 1:00. A note will go home in folders Wednesday with the details. Fourth grade is planning to celebrate together with a Pizza Party, and we have asked for donations to help cover the cost of pizza, drinks and dessert. The students really enjoy just playing and spending time together. Hopefully the weather will cooperate, as we have reserved the covered pavilion on the upper playground. Feel free to join us if you like.
        Once again, we are asking that you send in a stamped, self-addressed envelope if you would like your child's report card mailed to you. Otherwise, you may pick up report cards on May 23. CRCT testing results will also go home with report cards. Please keep in mind that all monies owed BRE must be paid in order for report cards to be either mailed or picked up.
       Please remember that if you need to pick up your child early for an appointment, you must do it before 3:00 P.M. This policy is for the safety all of our students. If you know in advance, please send a note for me with your child in the morning. Also, remember that if your child is absent, I will need a note stating a reason for the absence. An email is also acceptable.

        At the bottom of this page is a direct link for you to email me. Please feel
free to do so any time--it is the best and most efficient way to communicate
with me.

        Thank you for sharing your children with me. Have a wonderful week and a super summer!

        Mrs. Rennick
