News and Announcements

Good afternoon,

 

No school on Monday, January 19th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We hope everyone enjoys the long weekend and takes time to reflect on Dr. King's contributions.

 

Report Cards: Report cards went home on Friday in Manila folders. Please sign the outside of the folder and keep the report card inside for your records.

 

Bus Updates: Thank you to all families on Buses 13, 368, and 380 for your patience with any delays this week. We appreciate your flexibility! Bus Driver Appreciation Week is coming up February 3rd-6th, and we are so thankful for our drivers who safely transport our students every day. They are an essential part of our school family, and we encourage students and families to show their appreciation.

 

Board of Education: The next Board of Education Committee Meeting is on Tuesday, January 20th, at 9:00 a.m. at the Board of Education building. All community members are welcome to attend.

 

Important Dates: Important school dates were included on the pink letter that came home with report cards. Please add these to your calendars so you and your child don't miss any upcoming events.

 

Clothing Closet: Our clothing closet is almost empty. Please ensure your student, especially those in kindergarten through second grade, has a change of winter-appropriate clothes at school. If your child needs a change of clothes and does not have one, we will need to call home.

 

Bear Code - Supporting Your Bear at Home:

• Monitor Social Media: Know what your child is seeing, doing, and sharing online. Talk to them about responsible and safe use of technology.

• Encourage positive behavior and reinforce our school values at home.

• Stay engaged in your child's learning and celebrate their successes.

Thank you for your continued support in making Bolivia Elementary a safe, positive, and caring place for our students! As always, it  is a great day to be a Bolivia Bear, where we have Big Expectations, and we will see Amazing Results 

 

Take good care,
Maura Cleary
Principal, Bolivia Elementary School

Good Sunday evening, Bolivia Bears!

 

This is your principal, and I am so happy to start the year with all of you! We are looking forward to an amazing start to 2026 as we kick off the 3rd quarter and 2nd semester.

 

Bear Code of the Week: Honor Confidentiality - Be mindful of student privacy and sensitive school matters.
To honor this code, we are limiting access in our front office to protect our students' privacy. While we love our volunteers, we kindly ask that visitors do not congregate or hang out in the office. Volunteers should check in, get a badge, and proceed to their designated area. This helps us keep our students safe and their information private-thank you for supporting this important Bear Code!

 

Important Dates & Events:

• Tuesday, January 6: Students return to school & middle-of-year iReady math testing begins. Encourage your Bear to do their best!

• Tuesday, January 6: Board of Education Meeting at 6:00 p.m., C.O.A.S.T.

• Friday, January 16: 2nd Quarter Report Cards sent home. Please sign the outside of the envelope.

• Monday, January 12: S.I.T. Meeting at 4:05 p.m. in the library. All are welcome to attend and hear about our progress towards our School Improvement goals.

• Monday, January 19: No school for students in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday.

 

We know many of our Bears received new hats, jackets, hoodies, and water bottles for Christmas. Please help us by writing your child's name on these items so we can return lost items quickly and keep our Lost & Found manageable!

 

As always, it's a great day to be a Bolivia Bear, where we have big expectations and see amazing results! 

 

Take good care,
Maura Cleary
