Hello, Borlaug families and staff,
I have with three pieces of information to share. First of all, I want to thank all who donated their time and energy to plan for and to participate in the Borlaug playground community build. What an accomplishment – three playgrounds for the start of the school year!
Secondly we would like to invite the Borlaug Community to grade level tours on Thursday, July 26th. Each grade level tour will begin on the hour and end with ice pops with the principal. The preschool and kindergarten tours will begin at 1:00, the first and second grade tour begins at 2:00, the third and fourth grade tour begins at 3:00, and the fifth and sixth grade tour begins at 4:00 pm. If you have more than one student at Borlaug, please feel free to choose one of the grade level tours for your family, or you may come to each tour for your particular children. There will then be community tours provided from 5:00-7:00 pm.
Borlaug teachers and staff will lead the building tours. You will be able to see the common spaces and one classroom per wing. We hope you enjoy this sneak peek of the building prior to the ice cream social which is Tuesday, August 14th from 6:15 to 7:30 pm. You will see there is much work still being accomplished in preparation for the opening of the school year.
The last piece of exciting news is that Borlaug will have straight grades configurations, kindergarten through sixth grade. There will be three sections of Kindergarten, three sections of 1st Grade, two sections of 2nd Grade, two sections of 3rd Grade, two sections of 4th Grade, two sections of 5th Grade, and one section of 6th Grade. The Borlaug teachers and administrative team are very pleased with this change.
We are looking forward to an outstanding opening year!
Celeste Shoppa, Borlaug Elementary Principal
