Week of February 5th

From Ms. Pair:


Hello, everyone! I hope this finds everyone happy and healthy!  We still have quite a bit of sickness but our numbers are definitely better.  Keep washing those hands!  

We have a couple of important calendar changes.  Spring sports pictures have been moved to Thursday, February 8th at 7:45 a.m.  Spring school pictures (for everyone) will be taken on Tuesday, March 5th beginning at 8:00 a.m.

PTO will have a meeting this Tuesday, 2/6 at 4:00 p.m. in the cafeteria.  All parents are welcome to attend.  There are lots of great volunteer opportunities and ways to help serve!

Our student council is hosting a Junior High Valentine’s Dance on Friday.  The theme is PJs and it is only $5 to attend the dance from 6:00 - 8:00.  On Saturday night, our junior class is sponsoring our annual Daddy/Daughter Dance.  We would love to see all of our young ladies in grades pre-k through 5th come with their daddy or special guest.  We want everyone to participate that would like to!  This is always a really fun event.  The cost is $20 and $5 for each additional girl in the same family.  This dance is also from 6:00 - 8:00.

Our JH basketball teams will play their last games on Monday night here at home against Strawn beginning at 5:00 p.m.  Our varsity girls will play their last game of the season on Tuesday in Gorman beginning at 6:00 p.m.  Our varsity boys also play Gorman on Tuesday night and they will travel to Gordon on Friday for a game beginning at 6:00 p.m.  The varsity boys will play their last game of the season here at home against Lingleville at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 13.  This night is also our senior night for the boys.

Just a reminder that only students participating in JH Academic UIL will be attending school on February 15 and Friday, February 16 is a holiday for everyone.  Monday, February 19 is a workday for teachers and a holiday for students.  

Another reminder that on Wednesday, our 4th and 6th grade students will be taking a state ELAR field test.  Our district was randomly selected by the state to give this test.  This is not a STAAR test.

For all high school students, Prom tickets are now on sale.  Tickets are $35 for students (except BDHS seniors who are not charged) and the same price for dates.  If money is an issue, please reach out to me and the fee will be taken care of and kept confidential.  In order for a student to bring a date that is not a BDHS student, there must be a form filled out and returned to the school.  These are available from Mrs. Finley.

Thank you for all you do to support your children and our teachers and staff.  We value our parents and students greatly!  If I can be of help to you in any way, never hesitate to reach out to me.  It’s a great day to be a Bluff Dale Bobcat!!

UIL JUDGES NEEDED


Bluff Dale ISD will host the Junior High UIL ACADEMIC meet on February 15. This meet will have two speaking events, Impromptu Speaking and Oral Reading. In order to have these two events, we must have judges to evaluate the contestants. So BDISD is looking for 18 volunteers to help with the meet. To be a judge, you have to:

 

1. Enjoy helping and supporting students.

2. Be available, on February 15, from 7:45 am to 9:15 am to judge Impromptu Speaking (preliminary round) and from 6:30 pm to about 8:00 pm (final round).

OR

3. Be available, on February 15, from 8:30 am to 9:15 am to judge Oral Reading (preliminary round) and from 5:15 pm to about 6:30 pm (final round).

4. You can’t be a parent of a junior high student.

 

The contest directors will provide all the necessary information to you and will be responsible for the event. You will just be there to evaluate the students’ speaking.

A hospitality room will be available to get snacks and relax after the preliminary rounds. You do not have to stay between the preliminary and final rounds, however.

 

If you would like to assist BDISD and support students from local communities, please call Bluff Dale ISD at 254.728.3277 and speak to Sheila Finley or Jennifer Pair. Thank you in advance!
