Happy New Year, East Intermediate families!

I hope that you enjoyed a wonderful, restful and memorable Holiday Season with your loved ones!

I truly cannot believe that we are already kicking off our Spring Semester together! It has been such a wonderful school year thus far, and it is absolutely flying by!

We are so thankful for you and your continued support! We are eager to embark upon this new semester together as we work to wrap up our school year on a spectacular note!

As always, thank you for your continued support and for ALL of your help in making this school year, the very best year yet!

We are so thankful for you!l

We Believe. We Empower. We are Intentional

Please see the following reminders and updates, included below,  in regards to school lunches, parent lunch visits and  food deliveries:

Parents Who Wish to Join Their Child for Lunch:

As always, we gladly  and openly welcome parents to join us for any and all school-wide events, and especially any and all opportunities for parents to join their child for lunch!💚

• We love to see you and we know your child loves to have you visit them as well! 

• We are so lucky to have the space in our cafeteria for visitors, when other sites do not…so please come join us, any time! 

• We just ask that if  you plan to join your child for school lunch or you plan to bring your child lunch from an outside venue during your visit, please remember to bring lunch for only your child.  Thank you!
  Parent Visitation Guidelines: BPS Board Policy 3114

Food Delivery Services from Outside Entities: 

• We have seen a significant increase in outside food deliveries from GrubHub, UberEats,etc.. 

• We will no longer be accepting these deliveries. 

• It has become impossible for our front office staff to organize and coordinate these deliveries for students while balancing other school office tasks and operations.

• Additionally, we are not able to ensure that food will be  delivered promptly or on time, which causes interruptions to our office staff duties and classroom instructional time. 

• Furthermore, this time lapse could also result in food safety deterioration and unhealthy conditions.

Please do not send breakfast items, coffee items, lunch items or any other food items to your student via food delivery service. 

Thanks so much for your help!

Positive Post-It Notes!

Happy New Year! In the spirit of new beginnings, let's encourage our young learners to embrace the concept of New Year's resolutions.

Guide students in identifying areas of personal growth, whether it's improving focus in class, being more mindful of their words and actions, or fostering strong and supportive friendships. Through engaging activities and thoughtful discussions, we can work to empower our students to take ownership of their resolutions and nurture their goals throughout the year.

Discuss the power of setting realistic and achievable goals.  This helps children understand that small, intentional actions can lead to significant positive changes in their lives.

Wishing you and your family a joyful and peaceful new year!

Warm regards,
Melanie Ankersheil
