Student Behavior and Respect We've noticed an increase in behavior issues this year. Please take a moment to talk with your children about the importance of being kind to others and listening to and following instructions. When students are respectful and focused, they can fully engage with their teachers and classmates, which is essential for their academic and personal growth. Student Attendance We are also seeing more student absences than in previous years. Every day, our teachers provide crucial instruction from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. When a student is late, leaves early, or misses a full day, they miss valuable instruction that is difficult to make up. Please help us by scheduling appointments and other activities for after school whenever possible. We are so grateful for your continued support and commitment to your child's education. Working together, we can ensure BonDeCroft remains a positive and productive learning environment for everyone.     Lost and Found We are already seeing lots of items misplaced throughout the day by our students.  Please write your child's name on/in their personal items (water bottles, lunch boxes, backpacks, hoodies, jackets, etc.)!  This will help us get the items back to the right person when we find them.   School News Student of the Week Mrs. Welch - Jonathan Malone Mrs. Welch says "Jonathan loves school so much, he is sad when we have snow days! He works hard and always gives 100%. Jonathan is an amazing listener, he is always the first one to rasie his hand. He is also the first to jump in and help a friend in need. His kind heart and loving spirit make him such a joy to have in class!"   Our Commitment to Positive Behavior Lion's Pledge We are Lions!  We have GRIT! We show GRATITUDE for what we have. We show RESPECT to all we meet. We are INDEPENDENT thinkers. We make our own choices!  We earn TRUST by our actions! We are Lions! We DON"T Quit! ROAR!! Attendance Matters Excuse Notes Please remember to send in a note from the doctor or a parent note when your child is absent. Each child get 5 parent notes each year. Remember, your child can't learn the material if they are not in school. Please help us by scheduling appointments after school or during breaks. Attendance really does matter. Jan. Attendance Challenge January perfect attendance challenge is underway.  Students who do not miss a day in January will receive a special treat at the end of the month.  Encourage and support your child to have perfect attendance this month.  Try to schedule appointments after school or on breaks!   Attendance Procedures Please make sure you send in a parent note or doctors note with your child when they return after an absence.  You can send in a parent note for 5 days worth of absences.  Any absence other than those must have a doctor or dentist note to be excused.  Please remember, this is more about ensuring students are at school to receive the daily instruction from the teacher.  Students can make up missing assignments, but they cannot get back the instruction the teacher provided that day.  Also, leaving school early is considered a tardy, as well is coming in late.  Instruction begins at 8:00am each day and does not end until 3:00pm.  Please help us by limiting the time students miss from the classroom.  We appreciate your support with this!   Lunch Menu
