Good Morning Bears! The meals are being packed and will be heading out to your houses shortly! We are bring Monday & Tuesday's breakfasts and lunches in one delivery today (4 meals per person). Then we will deliver again on Wednesday with Wednesday and Thursday's meals, and again on Friday. Please be patient and let us know through Facebook or by calling the school if you have any questions or concerns. Ms. Weber shared this fantastic schedule of Montana PBS's curriculum programming - so be sure to utilize it when learning at home - lots of cool shows that can lead to discussions and learning!

Happy Saturday Box Elder Bears! Be sure to check out the Facebook page this morning to watch today's message from everyone's favorite llama-loving librarian, Mrs. Watson! We hope you are enjoying time with your family, checking in with your teachers & friends and taking care of yourselves. Staying home and keeping your hands clean are two of THE BEST ways to help you and your family members stay healthy.

Congratulations to Elizabeth "Morgan" Russette - another Box Elder School Good News Shout Out of the Day! Mrs. Myers recognized Morgan stating: Morgan has shown a lot of growth in reading and math this year! She constantly is working hard on her work. Since we have started distance learning she has completed every assignment! She was even working on her assignments during the weekend to stay educated! I have asked her to work on 5th grade standards on IXL as one of the assignments. Morgans response to me was, " Why can't I work on 6th grade standards?" Not only does she do her daily work, she looks for ways to go beyond what is asked. I am very proud of the hard work and dedication Morgan shows day in and day out! Way to go Morgan! Keep up all the good and hard work! I am so proud and admire your hard work and dedication to your education!

Attention students in Mrs. Donoven's 3rd grade: The winners are in! Based on this week's activity the leaders are: Keenan Henry on IXL, Zayden Morrow on Epic!, Alexis Wolf Chief on Quizziz, and Araya Sangrey & Noah MacDonald on Seesaw. Way to go - look for a prize delivered with your Monday meal! Another message from Mrs. Donoven: No one has been on Spelling City. Do you have your passwords? Please let Mrs. Donoven know if you are having trouble. The contest will start over on Friday, March 27 for next week's contest. Please try to finish up the assigned Seesaw assignments. And, let’s give Keenan some competition on IXL. Keep up the great work third graders!

Congrats to a whole crew of incredible students being recognized for Box Elder School's Good News Shout Out of the Day! Mrs. Elliot is recognizing Jennifer Seymour, Melissa Seymour, Autumn James, Makaela Kelly, Faith Wells, Giovanni Alvarez, Alexis Bell and Rialley Crow. Mrs. Elliot is recognizing these students saying: Way to go for getting right on Google Classroom and doing the first art assignment. I know the Google assignment is not as fun as creating art in the classroom, but these students are great for taking charge! Miss you all.

Tansi - Good morning to everyone! Please watch the video announcement from Mr. Leeds (on our Facebook page) and be sure to be checking in using your iPad. We miss you all and look forward to seeing you during our food deliveries next week! Stay safe, stay home, stay healthy!

Congratulations to Alivia Sangrey for being one of our Good News Shout Outs of the Day! Mrs. Kudrna is recognizing Alivia saying: Alivia is my Good News call of the day because has not only completed the assignments that I have posted in Seesaw but she has lifted my spirit each day! I am so thankful to see her beautiful smile and hear her answers to the questions that I have posted. On March 13th I didn't plan on saying goodbye to my students, Alivia continues to remind me why I am in the profession that I am. I want to thank Alivia for brighting my days each and every day by letting me know you are doing great. Keep doing great things, Alivia!

Attention all Box Elder Families: If your child is having any trouble getting apps from Self Service (like the Box Elder Public Schools app) to download, here are three options to choose from to help get the apps downloaded: 1) Be patient and wait (it may just take a REALLY long time) 2) Call Triangle and have them increase your internet speed (they are doing this for families who had service through them before school closures, if you call and ask) 3) Drive to the front of the school and download the necessary apps (self service just works faster when connected to our WiFi) Hope this helps!

Hello Box Elder Bears! Today (Thursday) is the last day we will be delivering food for this week. -From everyone here at operation “Feeding Our Bears”: We hope you have a safe and healthy weekend.

Congrats to another AWESOME student who continues to work hard even while not in school! Chazz Rosette is one of our Good News Calls of the Day today! Mrs. Williams is recognizing Chazz, stating: Positive Attitude, Responsibility (or Respect), Integrity, Dependability, and Effort Towards Graduation. These are the attributes we instill in our students to help them prepare for life outside of school. With everything going on in our world today, our students are living life "outside of school." Even in the face of Social Distancing, Chazz Rosette has shined so brightly with these attributes over the past few days. He has kept a positive attitude and asked for help with his music assignments through appropriate communication. He has shown responsibility, integrity, and dependability through taking an effort towards graduation. He is determined not to let social distancing take his education away from him. I am VERY proud to have him as a student! He is just one of the many lights shining in our community, and he shining so bright! Thank you for taking ownership of your learning Chazz. Remember this moment throughout your life. Remember that nothing can stop you from achieving your goals as long as you keep Bear PRIDE at your center. Keep up the great work, Chazz!

We may not be in school but we still have AMAZING students doing awesome things from home! Congrats to one of our Good News Calls of the Day, Tylenna Four Souls! Mrs. Genereux is recognizing Tylenna because she has been getting on Seesaw every morning and completing all of the assigned tasks. She takes her time and does her best. She checks in with Mrs. Genereux via email to make sure she is staying caught up. Mrs. Genereux is so proud of her for wanting to further her education during this time! Way to go Tylenna!

Parents & Guardians of Box Elder School Students: please take a look at our Staff Newsletter shared in the "documents" section of our school app to get the PDF document with live links. The newsletter is usually shared with staff each weekend and since we are working much more closely with you all as you assist us with "school from home", we thought it was only appropriate to include parents & guardians in the staff newsletter mailing. We are also encouraging virtual spirit week with the dress-up days attached! Send us pictures of your kiddos showing their school spirit from home - we want to stay connected! Here's to a productive week for everyone - and remember STAY HOME, STAY HEALTHY, AND TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER!

💙💛Tansi💛💙 Please check our Box Elder Public Schools Facebook morning announcement for today! iPads, educational packages, as well as breakfast & lunch will be around this morning! Be sure to call the school if you miss the delivery or if we miss your stop - and be sure to call us if your child is staying somewhere other than their registered address! Happy Thursday!

Attention Box Elder Students/Parents/Guardians: Please review the Acceptable Use Policy that was signed with all registration papers to attend school. Tomorrow we will be passing out iPads to elementary students and those Jr. High/High School students who don't have theirs at home already. We will put a copy of this reminder in each iPad bag. We will be sending out ONE CHARGER PER HOUSEHOLD. ALSO: iPads will only be given to students ONLY - so if the student does not come to the door, their iPad will be delivered at a later date. If your child is staying somewhere other than where they have been receiving meals or were registered at when enrolled, PLEASE CALL and update that address for us to smooth out this process of iPad delivery. Thank you for your continued cooperation and patience!
