It has been about a month since our last day of class, but our staff and teachers are working hard to prepare for the upcoming school year! 

The "Summer Crew" at BSS is working hard to get things ready for the 2021-2022 school year. There are a few areas we could use some help! If you know of any parents, grandparents, AlumKnights, or students that are looking for ways to stay busy this summer...check out this link! The perfect way to earn some service hours!

This summer, let us be connected through books in the marvelous world of reading. Nurturing a love of reading has many rewards!

As part of our STEM accreditation for the 2021-2022 school year, our summer reading program will be a school-wide focus on STEM topics. Each class will be required to read one book and when they return to school in August, teachers will follow up with additional meaningful discussions and assignments in class. For the MS students, please be prepared for a quiz on the first day of school. We will plan to have a STEM Summer Display sometime in September to see the wonderful work done by your children.

Please bring your book with you on the first day of school, Wednesday, August 25, 2021.

Rising Kindergarten- The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashely Spires

Award-winning author and illustrator Ashley Spires has created a charming picture book about an unnamed girl and her very best friend, who happens to be a dog. The girl has a wonderful idea. "She is going to make the most MAGNIFICENT thing! She knows just how it will look. She knows just how it will work. All she has to do is make it, and she makes things all the time. Easy-peasy!"

Parents, we do not expect your child to be able to read independently The Most Magnificent Thing. We hope you will enjoy it together a few times over the summer.

Rising 1st Grade- Izzy Gizmo by Pip Jones

Izzy Gizmo’s inventions are marvelous, magnificent…and often malfunction. Despite the fact that she loves to invent, it never seems to work out in her favor. But when she finds a crow with a broken wing, she has to help!

Parents, we do not expect your child to be able to read independently Izzy Gizmo. We hope you will enjoy it together a few times over the summer.

Rising 2nd Grade- Boxitects by Kim Smith- Meg is a brilliant and creative boxitect. She loves impressing her teacher and classmates with what she makes out of boxes. But there’s a new kid at Maker School: Simone. Simone is good at everything, and worst of all, she’s a boxitect too. When the annual Maker Match is held, Meg and Simone are paired as a team but can’t seem to stop arguing. When their extraordinary project turns into a huge disaster, they must find a way to join creative forces, lift each other up, and work together.

Rising 3rd Grade- Jake Drake Know-It-All by Andrew Clements

Jake Drake is excited about Despres Elementary School's first science fair. He wants to win the grand prize: a brand-new Hyper-Cross-Functional Bluntium Twelve computer system. And he really wants to beat the third-grade know-it-alls, Marsha McCall, and Kevin Young.

The trouble is, to beat the know-it-alls, Jake has to become a know-it-all himself. And he may just lose more than he wins.

Rising 4th Grade- The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies

When Evan Treski finds out that his younger sister is skipping third grade and joining his fourth-grade class, he is not happy. The last thing he wants is Jessie showing him up with her perfect grades, and he definitely doesn’t need her help getting his lemonade stand up and running . . . even if the business side of things has got him confused.

Middle School Rising 5^th, 6^th 7^th, and 8^th Grade

This edition is perfect for young readers. It's the powerful story of four African-American female mathematicians at NASA who helped achieve some of the greatest moments in our space program. 

For students entering Kindergarten or 7th-grade immunizations will be required by state law. Here is the information listed. An updated immunization record will be needed for our records. If the school does not have an immunization record by September 24, 2021, your child may not return to school (state law) until we have proof of the immunizations. 

Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis and Meningococcal Boosters

A booster dose of tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis (Tdap) and one dose of the meningococcal vaccines are required for children who have not previously received it and are entering the seventh grade or by 12 years of age, whichever comes first. 

Para los estudiantes que ingresan a Kindergarten o al séptimo grado, las vacunas serán requeridas por la ley estatal. Aquí está la información listada. Se necesitará un registro de vacunación actualizado para nuestros registros. Si la escuela no tiene un registro de vacunas para el 24 de septiembre de 2021, su hijo no puede regresar a la escuela (ley estatal) hasta que tengamos prueba de las vacunas.

Se requiere una dosis de refuerzo de tétanos / difteria / tos ferina (Tdap) y una dosis de las vacunas meningocócicas para los niños que no la han recibido previamente y están ingresando al séptimo grado o a los 12 años de edad, lo que ocurra primero.

Do not forget to review BSS uniform guidelines.

If you have not gotten your Summer uniforms, please reach out to the school to see if we have some on our Swap Shop. If you would like to donate your used uniforms, please bring them to the school.

We will have our Summer School Uniform Swap Shop Sale on August 7th @ 10 am at our school's parking lot.

We will have our school supply list ready next month. We will announce it once we have the document ready so hang on tight as we continue to make updates.

We still have yearbooks available! They are $40 each. Contact Beth Fitzgerald if you’d like to purchase one!

*We also found boxes of the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 yearbooks! Would love to find homes for these books! Let us know if you attended during those years and would like a book!*

What are Retail Cards? Retail cards are store certificates (plastic cards) that our school purchases at a discount and sells to you at face value for a school profit. The discount given is different with each vendor. BSS has used the profit money in the past for school technology and current needs of the school.

The profits from this program make up an important part of our fundraising budget. It is an easy and great way to help BSS earn fundraising dollars and not spend an extra dime. Everyone buys groceries and gas, and may occasionally eat out. Before your next trip to the gas station, grocery store, or restaurant, please consider purchasing Retail Cards with us.

You may purchase the Retail Cards in the school office any day during school hours. CLICK HERE to access the order form.

Please make check payable to BSS HSA Scrip. Returned check fee is $35.

Thank you for participating in our school fundraiser.
