Welcome Back!
I hope that all of you are enjoying your last weeks of summer. I am very excited about the new school year and look forward to seeing all of you in the hallways and at school events over the next several weeks.
Our district staff returns on August 28th for several days of professional learning focused on supporting all of our students’ academic and social emotional needs. Our 1st-12th grade students return on September 4th. For 1st-8th grade students and families, we will once again host Family Connection Meetings during the afternoon on September 4th, 5th and 6th. The high school will be on a regular, full-day schedule on the 4th and 5th and a half-day schedule on the 6th. B-EHS will also host a Family Connections event on the evening of Thursday, September 12th. An Orientation for 9th Grade students will be held on September 3rd from 4:00-6:00 pm. Lastly, our Kindergarten students’ first day is September 9th. The chart linked here includes more detailed information on these first days of school.
I look forward to seeing all of you throughout the year in schools, at school and district events, and in other community spaces. This is going to be a great year!
Sincerely,
Dr. Chris Pearson
Superintendent, Burlington-Edison School District
