Mr. Sutton our athletic director and Misty Ledyard are cleaning out the athletics storage room, and you now have an opportunity to own a small piece of Burr Oak Community Schools athletic history. Please comment with the sport and number of the jersey you would like, and we will do our best to help you find your jersey.
Please make donation payable to Burr Oak Community Schools.
Your opinion is important. If you haven't already, please complete the ESSR funds survey pinned to the top of the school Facebook page or by going to https://www.burroakcs.org/page/esser-iii-survey.
REMINDER: Check your children's current grades on ParentVue. The end of the marking period is January 14. Thank you!
Dear Parents/Guardians of Burr Oak Community Schools:
As we near the end of the year, I would like to thank you, the parents and guardians, for your continued support. You have been helpful communicating with us and keeping kids home when they are sick, which has allowed us to provide in-person learning all year. Let's continue to do that in the new year.
I would also like to express my appreciation for your partnership in dealing with negative student behaviors and for making sure your children attend school and complete their work. It takes all of us on the same page and communicating with one another to make a difference.
We enjoy seeing all of you at athletic and other extracurricular events and we appreciate your positive sportsmanship. Referees are hard to come by, so it is crucial that we stay positive in the stands and with one another. Refs are human, therefore, they will make mistakes; please let coaches deal with them. (If you are interested in becoming a referee please contact Mr. Sutton; MHSAA would be happy to get more applicants!)
We had a great time today with Christmas parties and other fun activities. Enjoy your children while they are home for break and we will see everybody when we return January 3, 2022.
Happy Holidays!
Mrs. Owens
Just a reminder, this Friday, December 17th will be an early release day. Students will be dismissed at 11:30. Students will also have the opportunity to order a sack lunch to go.
Parents of HS and MS students: We are half way through the 2nd marking period and it is always good to have students caught up with grades before Christmas break. When we come back on 1/3/21 we only have 2 weeks until the end of the marking period. This allows time for one unit and one exam. Please take the time to check your student's grades now and encourage them to get assignments done. Reach out to teachers with any concerns. As always, we appreciate your partnership!
The junior high basketball game tonight against Colon has been canceled
Wednesday, November 10th will be picture retake day. Picture order forms are available in the office. If you are unhappy with your first round of pictures and would like retakes, just send the ordered package back with your student that day, they will not need a new order form.
