Hello, Little Beaver Families! This is just a reminder that RSVP forms and payment for the Thanksgiving luncheon are due by the end of the day tomorrow, Friday, November 8th.

Hello, Little Beaver Families! Flyers for our 2nd annual Thanksgiving luncheon were sent home with students today. The cost of the meal is $5 per person and each student is permitted to have two guests. Reservations and payment are due back this Friday, November 8th so that we can adequately plan for the correct number of guests. Please understand that we cannot take additional requests to join after the deadline passes. We will send out more details to those that RSVP by the end of next week to let you know the times to arrive for lunch with your student. Also, we realize that all students may not have guests on the day of our luncheon, so we'll be setting up a mega table in the gym to accommodate a Friendsgiving style meal for unaccompanied students to share with staff! Finally, we just wanted to remind you that there is no school tomorrow, Tuesday, November 5th because of Election Day. Have a great evening!
Hello, Little Beaver Families! Report cards were distributed to students today. Please be sure to ask your child to see his/hers if they've not already shown you!

Hello, Little Beaver Families! Interim Reports were sent home with students today. The format looks very similar to the actual Report Cards, but these reports are just meant to show students' progress at the grading period midpoint. Because this is the first time using this format for Interims, there are some glitches with the printouts. Some students only have core subjects showing, some had grades reflected in the wrong grading scale, and some had grades that show decimals instead of whole numbers. You can always check your child's performance by logging in to Schoology. If you have specific questions about the reports you received today or how your child is doing in any content area, please reach out to your child's teacher on Monday. Have a wonderful weekend!

Let's Goooooo Beavers! 🦫❤️🏈
Hello, Little Beaver Families! Our school year is off to a great start and we want to thank you for your help in our success at school! The following reminders are meant to keep us on track throughout the year:
-Headgear is prohibited unless there is a special occasion where it is advertised that hats and other head coverings are allowed.
-Thin strap tank tops, shirts that expose midriff, extremely short shorts/dresses, pants worn below the waist, and anything that depicts drugs/violence/cursing are prohibited at school.
-If possible, please have your child wear tennis shoes and clothes that are conducive to running on days their class has PE. If you are unsure of PE days for your child, please contact the teacher to ask.
-Our tardy bell rings at 7:35am. Students need to be in their classroom by that time each day. Also, according to Mercer County policy, early dismissals may not be done within 30 mins of the end of the day. For us, that means students should not be checked out from 1:50-2:20pm.
-If you haven't already completed the beginning of year paperwork, please try to have that in by the end of this week.
Thank you again for your support! Enjoy this beautiful evening!
Hello, Little Beaver Families! We had a fantastic first day here at Bluefield Intermediate School! Your patience and understanding with dismissal procedures and bus times was greatly appreciated! We placed tags on student's backpacks to help keep track of each child's end of day arrangements. Please encourage your child to leave their tag in place so that they will last throughout the year. Students should have several forms in their backpack that need to be completed. Please return those as soon as possible. The emergency card is the top priority, so please have that ready for your child to bring back tomorrow. Have a great evening!
Hello, Little Beaver Families! Thank you to everyone that came to our Meet the Teacher event this evening! We are so excited for a wonderful year with our Little Beavers! Morning drop off begins at 7:00am and our tardy bell rings at 7:35am. Car riders will be dropped off at the entrance on the third grade wing, near the employee parking lot from 7:00-7:20am. Those car riders that arrive after 7:20 will be rerouted to the main entrance. Any time car traffic and buses intersect, the bus will have the right-of-way. Afternoon dismissal will begin at 2:20pm and go through 2:45pm. This year, we will be starting dismissal with our car riders. As buses arrive, we will halt car traffic to allow the buses to access their loading zone. When family and friends come for pickup, we ask that you drive down to the Pavilion to turn around so that you can join the back of the line to wait for traffic to move. Please position your vehicles as far over on the shoulder of the road as possible so that the residents of Southview Drive and the employees of the Pavilion are still able to drive around our school traffic. We ask for your patience as we fine tune these processes here at the start of the year. Set those alarms and get those Little Beavers ready for the best first day of school! We'll see you all in the morning!
Hello, Little Beaver Families! We're getting so excited about the start of the new school year! Our Meet the Teacher event will be held on Wednesday, August 21st from 4-6pm. Please stop by any time during those two hours to meet your child's new teacher! Have a lovely Sunday!
