From Mr. Kueker
BGS Families,

Happy Friday.

We had our first virtual author visit today with one of our favorite authors, Aaron Reynolds. He spoke and read about a few his new books that will be out soon including, Rescuing Mrs. Birdley. Students have an awesome opportunity to purchase the books with an added bonus of being signed by Aaron Reynolds himself. If you would like to order, please click HERE for the ordering form. Elearning families you can also place your order for the books. There is no on-line ordering but you can drop off your order form to BGS by the deadline of Friday, September 18.

Picture day this year will be on Wednesday, September 23. Elearning students will have the opportunity to take their picture here at BGS from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. We have designated an area in the building where only elearning students will take their picture. If you choose to have your student take their picture, please complete the visitor questionnaire prior to entering the building. The student will enter the main entrance, walk down to the library, take their picture and then meet the family member outside. Only students will enter the building. In person students will take their pictures in the gym with their class and teacher.

You can click HERE for ordering information and pricing. You can also visit the website at hrimaging.com. A hard copy of the ordering form will be going home with in person students.

Reminder for elearning families that today, Friday, September 11, there will be a supply/material pick up at Yorkville Grade School from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. This will include Pearson work books and additional materials that may be necessary.

Thank you as always for your continued support and working together.

Sincerely,
Mr. Kueker

Arrival/Dismissal
HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE
  • Please continue to complete the daily health questionnaire for your student
  • Staff/students/visitors are not allowed into the building until the questionnaire has been complete and a green check is received
ARRIVAL/DISMISSAL
  • Parent pick up/drop off families
  • Please do not pull around vehicles while they have a student loading. Wait until the car ahead of you pulls away and then follow. This ensures the safety of the family, student and staff.
  • If at all possible, students should enter your vehicle on the passenger side. If the student must enter your vehicle on the driver side, please exit your car and assist them into the vehicle. This is for the student safety.
Masks at school
Face Coverings: A face covering must cover the mouth and nose completely and can include a paper or disposable mask, cloth mask, scarf, bandana, or a religious face covering. Information released on Wednesday from the CDC now states that the CDC no longer recommends the use of athletic face coverings/neck warmers as a substitute for cloth face coverings. It is recommended that students attending school in person “practice” wearing face coverings for extended periods.

Supporting our students-Together
During these uncertain and unprecedented times, it is important to be mindful of the health and well being of our students physically and mentally. The district has put together two videos for parents.


We encourage you to watch the videos and continue the conversation and practice of social emotional skills at home. We are also continuing our implementation of Second Step. This program teaches and informs students of recognizing their emotions and behaviors and how to appropriately manage them.
If you need assistance with technology at home, please contact studentsupport@y115.org
If you have questions or needs related to your child's attendance at BGS,
please e-mail Mr. Kueker, Principal
or call (630) 553 4383.
