Daniel Bagley Families Monday Message, June 17, 2024

Bagley Families,

I am so grateful to lead this community and observe how your care and commitment to your child’s school is supporting their engagement and attendance in learning. This has been a fantastic year for family engagement and we hope to keep hosting events that connect you to your child’s learning community in 2024-25.

I wanted to give a big shout out to our Field Day parent leads, Abby and May, and Mr. W for their awesome field day organizing. Also, thanks to the parent volunteers who took the time to lead each station this year. The kids have been sharing what a wonderful time they had!

Also, I wanted to give a huge thanks to all who purchased yearbooks, which supported our Yearbooks for All program. Every student felt like a valued part of their class when they got their yearbook and they were so excited to turn each page of our gorgeous book and find all of their friends.

We will miss seeing our students and families this summer! Have a good one!

School Connect Tutoring

Next year we will be partnering with School Connect Tutoring and Childcare program to offer a 5 day a week afterschool program. The program is designed for students that would benefit from extra time working on reading and math goals. The program will offer fun projects, play time, and snack breaks as well.

Your child’s teacher will send home the registration flyer if they think this would be a good program for them to consider.

There is a tiered payment system from $10/month- $625. Please register on the flyer that was sent home with your child this week.

Nectar News

The Nectar News is shared with students every Monday to educate and celebrate Bagley student news, identity, and expectations. Check your emailed update for the link.
