Bucyrus Elementary School

Reminder to the Bucyrus City Schools family: Schools will be closed Monday, April 8th!

Students performed for the student body today. The programs are amazing! We can't wait for our 2nd and 3rd grade families to experience them. 2nd graders report to their homerooms at 5:45 for their 6:00 performance. 3rd graders report to their homerooms at 6:45 for their 7:00 performance. Both programs will begin promptly in the auditorium. All students can be picked up back in their homerooms after their performance.

Due to district events Nov. 9ths 5th Grade Breakfast will be postponed. We will contact families at a later time when it has been rescheduled. Thank you for all your support and understanding.

Good evening BES families. Just a reminder that picture day is tomorrow! To order pictures, please preorder online or send in a completed picture form with exact change. Every student will get their pictures taken. Thank you. Have a great evening!

Tomorrow night is PTO Night at Bucyrus Football! Please come cheer on the Bucyrus Redmen Varsity Football team against Cardington Lincoln. Elementary students get in free but must be accompanied by a paying adult. Approximately the first 100 students will receive a free pompom courtesy of our BES PTO. In addition, students can help cheer our Bucyrus Redmen onto the field by joining the tunnel at 6:45. We hope to see you there! Kickoff is at 7:00.

Tomorrow, Monday, August 21 from 4:00-6:00 is our annual BES Open House. Please note that the elementary open house is 4:00-6:00 and not 4:30-6:30. During this time, come meet your teachers, see your classrooms, drop your supplies, and more! The main hallway on the 1st floor will have tables set up with school and community organizations. In addition, our amazing Title Reading team will meet with parents at 4:30 and 5:30 for brief meetings to explain what Title reading is and answer questions. We encourage all parents K-4 to attend one of these sessions, especially if your child received Title services last year. Finally, if you have questions on FinalForms completion, transportation, or need to know who your child's teacher is, our staff in the main office will be ready to help you. We look forward to a great event welcoming all our families back! On Wednesday, August 23 we will have our first day of school for Grades 1-5. Preschool and kindergarten will have staggered start days Wednesday and Thursday where students will attend only one of those days. Please refer to your mailings from the kindergarten and preschool teams to confirm which day your child attends. On Friday, August 25 we will welcome all kindergarteners at school and on Monday, August 28 we will welcome all preschoolers. A reminder that doors open each morning at 8:25. Please do not drop students before this time as we do not have staff supervision available prior to 8:25. Students are to proceed directly to their classrooms where breakfast will be waiting for them. We will have multiple staff members stationed around the building to help guide students. We ask that families say their goodbyes at the school building doors. Dismissal will begin at 3:15 for preschool, 3:20 for kindergarten and first grade, and 3:25 for all remaining students in grades 2-5. Please see the attached document to know where to pick up and drop off students. These locations have not changed from last year. In addition, if you or a designated friend or family member plans to pick up students after school, please ensure that person has a colored pick up card to ensure a safe and quicker pick up. We ask that families bring these cards with them for the first semester of school until allowable adults are known by the teaching staff. Parents and guardians can get these colored cards from homeroom teachers during open house and extras are available from Mrs. Jamie in the front office or from the teachers. Cards will only be given by school personnel to parents and guardians. Again, we can't wait to have our BESt year yet at BES! We're ready and excited to have our students back with us!

Class assignment postcards are on their way to your mailboxes! Keep an eye out for them and scratch off the silver sticker to reveal your child's teacher for the year! As a reminder, for BES student safety and privacy, we will not be posting class lists to our doors. We will have staff stationed at Open House with class lists as well.

The Open Enrollment process for the 2023-2024 school year will not be facilitated through FinalForms, although a small portion to be signed electronically remains. In order to be considered for approval, parents must complete a paper application. These can be obtained from any of our school buildings (including Central Office) or our website ( https://5il.co/1mpv8 ). **PLEASE NOTE** Physical applications must be returned to the District. We will not accept applications uploaded into a student's FinalForms account, as this compromises the quality of the document. Completed applications may be returned to any of our buildings, or mailed to: Bucyrus City School District Attn: Megan Rittenour 170 Plymouth Street Bucyrus, OH 44820
