Teachers at Burr Oak Community Schools had a busy week and are so grateful to the family that provided the snacks for the teacher's lunch room! We love our school community and the extended community as well. Thank you so much for your continued support and for all of you that helped make the teacher's break room a pleasant place to hang out for lunch!
Every year a company named "All American Publishing" does the footwork with local businesses to obtain funding for spirit t-shirts that are free for our MS and HS students. We would like to thank all of you that contributed to make this possible!
Reminders for Monday, August 22, the first day of school. If your student is eating breakfast, the cafeteria is open from 7:20 to 7:40. Students in grades five through twelve will meet in the gymnasium at 7:40 for teacher introductions and updates. Elementary students will meet Mrs. Hernandez by the elementary wing doors. For students being dropped off by parents, please let students out by the victory bell and flag rather than the double doors.
