Happy Saturday Box Elder Bear Students, Staff & Families!
Check out this update from Mr. MacDonald about what's been going on & what's coming up. Don't forget - we don't have school Monday in observance of Labor Day - so no digital/distance learning on Monday!

Attention all Cross Country athletes: There will be no cross country practice today, but we will meet for practice
tomorrow at 8am!
Be sure to drive through and see us again today! K-6 teachers will be outside from 9-12 again to meet their students and pass out iPads and supplies! Many kids have already begun sharing videos with their teachers and classmates through Seesaw and Schoolwork - lots of Google Meet video conferences are being scheduled before the end of the week so don't miss out!
Call the school if you have questions or concerns!
Hello from Mr. Heppner! Check out what he has been up to and then create your own video introduction to share with him! Anyone in his classes can send their video to his email so he can start to get to know his students!

Today was AMAZING and so heartwarming seeing the elementary kiddos drive up to meet their teachers and get school supplies and to see all the Junior High and High School students log in to their classes and reconnect/get to know their teachers!
We will be here outside from 9-12 again tomorrow for everyone to come by and grab their iPads, school supplies and meet their teacher if you weren't able to come today!
Now until 12 come by and meet your teacher and get your iPad & supplies! We are loving seeing our kiddos, masked and from a distance!
Attention Box Elder Elementary Students and Parents/Caregivers: Please join us Wednesday & Thursday to meet the teachers and get iPads and supplies. Check out the video to see more about our event!

Good morning Bears! Meals will be at the same locations as yesterday - heading out from the school soon! Azure site families - there will not be a drop point today, but they will drive by your household, honk their horn and leave the meals on your porch.
If you haven't received anything regarding P-EBT and meals, you should visit www.montanameals.org and register there. We have sent in all of the forms submitted so far, but just to be safe, you may want to register at the website to be sure you receive the benefits.
Mr. Mac and Carita are set up at Plain Green for meal pick up!
Attention Blue Water Tower families: meals are ready for families that are registered for school to pick up between Tim Parker and Joe DuBois’s houses!
It's the first day of school (from a distance)! Teachers will be reaching out to all students this week so be sure we have your updated phone numbers here at the school!
Our goal THIS MORNING is for Mr. Burgess & Mr. Eldridge will be delivering iPads to Jr High and High School students that live in Haystack and Azure Site starting at 10:30. All other Jr High & High School iPads will be delivered this afternoon after 1pm.
Elementary iPads will be given out during our physically distant Meet the Teacher events later this week. If you have a fifth or sixth grader in Mr. Standing Rock, Mr. Ricci, or Mrs. Myers's classrooms, they will be around to deliver iPads for the students in their classes today!
In the meantime - please enjoy this video of memories from last year - here's hoping we can make more memories TOGETHER soon!

Twas the night before the first day of school ... and Mr. MacDonald has a message for the students and community about what's to come for this school year!

School starts on Monday! We know there are a lot of questions about what will this coming school year will look like, so be on the lookout tomorrow morning for a video message from Mr. MacDonald! If you haven't already, you can still complete the online re-enrollment form this weekend to get your child registered and receive an iPad next week!
Happy Friday Box Elder Community! Be sure to complete the Re-enrollment form on our website at www.boxelderbears.org so that your students can get their iPads as soon as possible!
If you complete the re-enrollment form, we also need you to call the school to let us know if you wish to receive meals during remote learning and/or if you are choosing to opt out of in-person learning for the first quarter.
Our Box Elder staff had a great first day back together (masked up and physically distant from each other) getting prepared for whatever this year offers us and our students! Please know that we are keeping engagement, excitement, progress and learning at the forefront right behind the health and safety of our staff, students and community. This year won’t look like any other, but we know it’s going to be great!
Good Morning Box Elder Community! In an effort to streamline the re-enrollment process for your students, you can now head to our website at www.boxelderbears.org and complete a re-enrollment form to let us know if your students will be re-enrolling for the 2020-2021 school year! If you are new to our district this school year, you will need to complete the entire enrollment packet, but if your children attended last year, you can head to the website and click on the button titled "Re-enrollment form for returning students". Remember - school starts on Monday, August 24 and in order to get an iPad to your children we need to know if they will be attending school at Box Elder! Thanks!
