Bus Safety

Today we had our annual bus safety lesson to remind students of appropriate behavior at the bus stop, on the bus, and in case of emergency.  Officer Schipelliti spoke to the students as well as some bus drivers.  Please remind your child or ask them to tell you what important safety rules were discussed today.

We all exited the back of the bus just like it were a real emergency.

New Dictionaries!

We would like to thank the Burlington Rotary Club for coming to visit the third grade classes today.  They donate new dictionaries to 3rd graders every year.  Each student will be coming home today with their own student dictionary.  Included in the back are some great resources as well.
  Please have your child keep his or her dictionary in a safe spot so it could be used for homework or studying.  We are working on dictionary skills in school as well, so feel free to give them some fun words to try to find.  Today they had to find hero, charity, services, and community: all words describing the wonderful things the rotary club does for Burlington.
