Family Monday Message – January 16, 2024

Bagley Families,

In the month ahead our PTA and school staff are bringing us several opportunities to come together as a school community. Please check out our upcoming events at the bottom of this message.

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.

Appreciations

Each week we share appreciations for our staff and adult community at Bagley in the Nectar News video. We would love it if families wanted to take some time to share a shout out at this link. Bagley Appreciations

Donation Requests

Library:

Take a look at Ms. Emily’s Donor’s Choose request for some new books: Spanish Books for Curious Kids!

Afterschool Snacks:

We have about 15 hard-working Bagley students that stay after school for extra learning support time, and they could really use some snacks to help keep them fueled while they work! If you are able to help by donating pre-packaged snacks, please Sign up to donate prepackaged snacks.

REPEAT: 1st through 5th grade Advanced Learning information

District Advanced Learning timeline and Information

This week the district shared our timeline for Advanced Learning Eligibility. If your child qualifies you will receive their eligibility letter by Jan 24. If your child did not qualify you can appeal the process during this Appeal’s window from January 24th through February 9th.

The process for identifying student eligibility is part of our Universal Screening which uses multiple data sources to identify students for AL or HC services. The data sources may include, but are not limited to: 

• Fall assessments from the current academic year; 
• Demonstrated performance in the classroom as assessed by educators; 
• Strengths, talents, and interests reported by educators and parents/guardians; 

Lunch Menu

SPS breakfast and lunch menus.

Lunch and Office Volunteers Needed:

Stingers Ultimate Frisbee Interest Survey:

If your 3rd, 4th or 5th grader would be interested in participating, please fill out this ultimate frisbee interest survey as soon as possible! 

Ultimate Frisbee is a team sport that incorporates cooperation, fun, and flying discs!  We are preparing for a fantastic spring season on the field!  This opportunity is open to ALL 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders.  There is no need for prior playing experience.  There will be one after-school practice each week (day, time, and location to be determined) and games on Saturdays, most of which are held at Magnuson park.  The season runs from late February until May.
