📢 5TH GRADE FAMILY REMINDER 📢

We are asking for our 5th grade families’ support! We have seen an increase in classroom distractions and interruptions related to toys, NeeDohs, and other accessories being brought to school.

📚 Effective September 15, 2026:
Any toy, NeeDoh, or accessory that causes a classroom interruption or distraction will be confiscated and require parent/guardian pickup. If the behavior continues, progressive discipline may be applied in accordance with school expectations.

Our goal is to keep our 5th graders focused, engaged, and ready to learn while preparing them for the expectations of junior high. We want to minimize distractions and maximize learning!

Thank you for partnering with us and helping our Eagles make positive choices, stay focused, and take responsibility for their success!

Flu season is approaching - Here's some healthy reminders!

Dear BWCS Families, We are excited to kick off our first PEP ASSEMBLY of the school year this Friday, August 21! 🎉🎮 And we couldn’t have planned a better way to connect it to this year’s theme: 🎮 LEVEL UP YOUR LEARNING — 1% EVERY DAY! 🎮 Our students will participate in a special 1% Kid Foundation Interactive Book Reading Experience with author and former professional soccer player Channing Chasten, author of The 1% Kid! The message is simple and powerful: Every child can become 1% better every day. Students will learn that reaching big goals doesn’t happen all at once—it happens by making small, positive choices and continuing to grow each day. Students will focus on the 3 Ps for Growth: ⭐ Practice — Keep showing up and working on your skills. 💪 Perseverance — Keep going when things get difficult. ⏳ Patience — Remember that meaningful growth takes time and consistent effort. It fits perfectly with what we want every BWCS Eagle to remember this year: Dream BIG. Set a goal. Take one small step. LEVEL UP 1% every day! 🚀 We can’t wait for an exciting Friday as we continue to LEVEL UP, every day! 🦅💙 Principal Misty Lopez Blackwater Community School
