March Newsletter

Last Tuesday, on 2/22/22 at 2 PM the Kindergarten and 4th grade teachers planned our third quarter Blue Bandana activity. The weather decided to delay our celebration to the next day 2/23/22. We all gathered in the gym to dance and exercise to show our school spirit.

We had two days of school canceled due to the weather. They are being made up at the end of the school year. Instead of May 25, 2022 being the last day of school, it will now be May 27, 2022. Speaking of school being canceled, the Bellevue High School Boys Basketball team have had a spectacular postseason run. They defeated Marquette, Easton Valley, Springville, and just last Saturday night, defeated Gladbrook-Reinbeck to go to State! The last time the boys made it to state was in 1991. The game is at 12:15 PM on Monday, March 7 in Des Moines. There will be no school on this day as we want to allow our families to go and support the Comets. There will be a “Community Send-Off Pep Rally” on Sunday, March 6 at noon at Bellevue High School. Supt. Meyer is sending out more detailed information today.

Last week, I started to chart all classroom attendance. The bars indicate what percentage of students are at school. Green means everyone is present. Blue bars represent the percentage in attendance. I sent a video to all teachers to share with their students explaining the charts. We want sick students to stay home. But if you aren’t sick, we really need you at school! When you miss school, you miss out on learning conversations. It is more work for you and your teacher to be gone. Let’s work together to improve our attendance!
