Welcome back to a new and exciting school year at Bluewater Elementary! I hope you had a wonderful and restful summer, filled with memorable experiences and quality time with loved ones. As we prepare to open our doors for another year of learning and growth, I am thrilled to share some updates and highlights. Your students’ schedules should be uploaded to the FOCUS Parent Portal before the end of this week and you should be getting a phone call from his/her homeroom teacher prior to Orientation.
This year, we are excited to welcome several new staff members who bring a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to our school. Additionally, we are introducing new programs aimed at enhancing student learning and engagement, including WIN (What I Need) acceleration block, and Accelerated Reader, more commonly known as A.R.. Both programs are designed to enhance and accelerate the learning and growth for each student this year.
We have several exciting events planned for the beginning of the school year, including New to Blue, which is for new families to Bluewater grades one through five. This will be held in the multipurpose room August 8th at 6 PM.
All students and families are welcome to Orientation, which will be held August 9. Please follow the Orientation schedule below:
· Kindergarten: 8:15-9:15 (½ class at a time)
· 1st Grade: 9:30-10:00
· 2nd Grade: 10:15-10:45
· 3rd Grade: 11:00-11:30
· 4th Grade: 1:15-1:45
· 5th Grade: 2:00-2:30
We will have several tables set up in the cafeteria/multi-purpose room for parents to learn more about the school/community, buy agendas and school spirit items, and have documents notarized.
I am honored to serve as your principal and look forward to working together to make this school year a successful and rewarding experience for all our students. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me or any staff member.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Let’s make this a fantastic year at Bluewater Elementary.
Go Seminoles!
