Announcements

Virtual fall conferences are October 19, 20 and 21 (Tuesday-Thursday) from 4:00-7:00 pm. Asking questions to you child's teacher during parent-teacher conferences and following a report card is one of the best ways to partner with them, deepen your understanding of how to best support your child, and make the conversation meaningful for you. See the BVSD website here for some ideas of questions to ask your child's teacher.

Heatherwood, Heatherwood, how does your garden grow? With carrots and lettuce and sunflowers all in a row! Yesterday, our 4th grade huskies harvested carrots, beets and radishes.

• Last year, Heatherwood's Garden to Table garden grew over 300 pounds of produce that was donated to local food banks.
• In March of 2021, 1st- and 3rd-grade huskies planted over 200 lettuce plants in our school garden.
• In May of 2021, 2nd grade huskies harvested 38 pounds of lettuce plants given out to families by the Heatherwood PTO.

A big "Husky Thank You" to the 5th Grade Class of 2019 for our awesome new Gaga ball pit! It is already a big hit on the 1st-5th grade playground. We're also thankful to the 5th Grade Class of 2020 for our new playground sign. Designed with inclusion in mind, the communication board will provide easy, convenient access to the most common words to help students engage in conversation.
