Hello, Little Beaver Families! Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 9th, we are asking our students and staff to wear green in support of BMS Principal, Mrs. Kim Miller. All Mercer County Schools have been invited to participate in rallying behind this endeavor and we're hoping to have good participation at BIS! We'll see you in your green in the morning, Little Beavers! 💚
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!

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! As in previous years, we've planned an outdoor Fun Day that includes water activities for the last day of school. The weather forecast is now indicating a high possibility of rain for the majority of the day, so there's a chance we may end up needing to switch gears to do indoor play. If your child is attending tomorrow, which we certainly hope he/she will, please send an extra set of clothing and a towel so that they are prepared to do the water activities should we be able to proceed with our original plan. Many thanks to each of you that attended our awards and graduation ceremonies today! We appreciate all of your support and we're looking to one more fabulous day with our students tomorrow to round out the school year! Have a great evening!

We are excited to celebrate our students' successes and hope you'll join us as we recognize their achievements. Enjoy the evening!
Hello, Little Beaver Families! This message is to remind you that we will be doing the tie dye incentive with students that earned the required points for effort and cooperation during state testing. Please be sure your child wears old clothing or things that won't be harmed if dye splatters on it during this activity- this also includes shoes. If your child brought home his/her testing Tshirt, which most did not, please be sure to have him/her return it tomorrow. This Thursday, June 6th is our annual outdoor water day. Students may not wear bathing suits but are encouraged to wear waterproof shoes, bring a towel, and have a change of clothing. We're looking forward to having fun these last four days! Enjoy your evening!
Hello, Little Beaver Families! A new piece of equipment was installed today and triggered an alarm in the school this afternoon. We evacuated the building and the Fire Department checked everything to confirm that we are safe. Students and staff have resumed normal activity. Have a great evening!
Hello, Little Beaver Families! Tomorrow begins our state testing! Please be sure your child goes to bed at a reasonable time so he/she is well rested in order to focus on the tests this week. It's also important for your child to arrive at school on time each day of the testing. We also wanted to let you know that our roof HVAC units are being replaced. There are dumpsters and storage trailers on the premises because of this project. The work will not begin until the conclusion of state testing, but we wanted you to be aware of the reason for these additional units on our property. There should not be any disruption to our instructional days nor should our regular traffic patterns be compromised. Finally, yearbooks are on sale for $20. Money can be sent in to the school or you can order online at Strawbridge.net using code YB29880. Online ordering is the only way to personalize yearbook covers. Have a great evening!
