Burr Oak Community Schools

The Book Fair will be open October 22-26 in the morning from 7:30-8:00 and after school from 3:00-3:30.

Just a reminder we still have FREE smoke detectors available at the elementary office or get one by contacting the Burr Oak Fire Department.

Unfortunately, the fresh food truck will not be on site this evening. We are unsure what the issue is at this time but have been told we can schedule another one soon. Sorry for the confusion.

OCTOBER IS FIRE PREVENTION MONTH! The Burr Oak Fire Department would like all homes to be ready! They are offering free smoke detectors that they will install, or send home with you to install. Please Call The Burr Oak Elementary office or Captain Perry for your FREE smoke detector! Burr Oak Elementary 269-489-5181 Captain Perry 269-384-9192

The Fall Food Truck will be here today in the school parking lot from 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

The weather is changing. Make sure you dress your child in layers so that they can be comfortable when they go outside and when they are in the classroom. Also encourage your middle school and high school students to dress for the weather as well.

Tomorrow is walk to school with Mr. Stephens day. Buses will drop students off at the gazebo around 7:15. Parents are welcome to join on foot or bike. When students arrive at school, the day will continue as usual.

SMILE!!!! Tuesday October 9th(tomorrow) is picture day!

Parents: You have the ability to access your child's grades 24/7 through our Parent Interface in Synergy. If you have never been given access to, or remember how, please contact Mr. Greene by email tgreene@burroakcs.org

This is a reminder that Burr Oak Schools will be dismissing at 11:30 Monday as it is a scheduled half day of school.

When should I keep my child home from school? Following are some tips to consider when wondering if you should keep your child home or send them to school: A fever over 100.4 fahrenheit can be contagious. Send them back when they have been fever free for 20 to 24 hours without medication. Vomiting and diarrhea - send them back when they have been free from symptoms for 20 to 24 hours. Excessive coughing - this is how germs spread quickly. Keep them home and/or take to a doctor if it persists. Lice: Live bugs keep home. Tips - Check often, wash clothing in hot water, dry on high heat. Put cloth items in garbage bags, seal up, and let sit for several days (or longer if possible). Pull nits out of hair and put in a soapy vinegar or bleach water. (hot water is best)

Reminder. Because of the holiday, Burr Oak Schools will be closed on Friday, August 31 and Monday September 3. See you on Tuesday.

Please be patient as we implement our all school lunch program. We are working to get the correct numbers each morning.
