Hello, Little Beaver Families! There are two days left for students to shop our Scholastic Book Fair during school. A few teachers have arranged an evening shopping event so that families can come out to shop with or for their children. The Book Fair will be open tomorrow evening from 4:30-6:30pm.

Hello, Little Beavers Families! This is a reminder that we will be doing the Writing Assessment school-wide tomorrow, Tuesday, March 5th. Please be sure your child gets plenty of rest tonight and is at school on time in the morning. Please encourage your child to do his/her very best on the prompt given! Thank you and have a great evening!
Hello, Little Beaver Families! This message is to remind everyone of our drop off and pickup procedures. Drop off begins at 7:00 and should be done at the third grade entrance. After 7:20, morning traffic is routed to the main entrance where a single lane of traffic proceeds through the loop. If a car is parked, please use caution when moving around it to exit the line. Drivers are asked to not make a turn without using the loop. Students should be ready to exit the vehicle upon arrival to help keep the line moving smoothly. In the afternoons, we ask that those arriving early to pick up students drive down to the Pavilion, turn toward the school, and join the line. Because Southview Drive is used by residence in the neighborhood beyond BIS, it is important that our pickup line traffic pull as far to the side of the road as possible so that the road is accessible and passable for other vehicles. Thank you for helping maintain these procedures to keep our Little Beavers safe! Have a nice evening!
Hello, Little Beaver Families! Our fourth and fifth graders have been invited to hear a guest speaker at Bluefield High School tomorrow, Tuesday, February 20th.

We must have your permission in order for your student to participate. As with any trip, students that have below an 80% in Conduct and those that have had Out of School suspension during the current grading period are not able to attend. Have a lovely evening!
