Hello, Borlaug Families,
Our first Borlaug Bulletin of the 2014-15 school
year will be published this Monday, August 25th. We will publish our community
newsletter twice a month, and it will be sent to our families
electronically. If you need a hard copy
sent home instead, please call the Borlaug office at 688-1155.
It
was wonderful to have so many Borlaug families at our Ice Cream Social on
August 14th. We enjoyed
seeing familiar faces and meeting new students and families. We were very
fortunate to have the University of Iowa Credit Union sponsoring our event. I
want to thank our generous Borlaug PTO and our caring staff for their time and
organization which made for a successful evening.
During
our first days of school we spent time teaching all of our students our behavior
expectations for the lunchroom, bus, playground, hallways, and restrooms. All
adults will recognize appropriate behavior with our gold Borlaug Bulldog
Tickets. This is all part of our Positive Behavior and Intervention and
Supports (PBIS) program coordinated through our district. The Borlaug Family Handbook has more
information to share in regard to PBIS. You can find our Borlaug Family
Handbook on our Borlaug Elementary website at: http://www.edline.net/pages/Borlaug_Elementary_School
We
start each day at Borlaug by reciting our Borlaug Pledge. It is a reminder to us all that at Borlaug we
are responsible, respectful, and safe.
We hope families will use the pledge as a way to talk with your children
about their days. We encourage families
to display the pledge at home as a reminder.
The Borlaug Pledge
Borlaug Elementary is a caring community of learners
We respect ourselves and others
We are safe at school
We are proud to be the Borlaug Bulldogs
WOOF! WOOF!
