Our 7th grade science students wrapped up their Life Science unit with a hands-on lab experience today! 🦉
Students dissected owl pellets and worked to identify the bones they discovered, bringing their learning to life in an exciting way. Through this activity, they demonstrated a strong understanding of the trophic pyramid and how energy flows through ecosystems.
Great job applying your knowledge, scientists!

The impact of eliminating the state income tax for Bakersfield R-IV is
$638,561 each year or 10.3% of all spending. That is a cut of $1,933 per student and is the equivalent of 12 teachers or 20 support staff.
In addition, Senate Bill 3 is on the ballot this April. SB 3 extends the property tax freeze to everyone. The cost for Bakersfield R-IV is approximately $80,066 per year.
Just providing information so you can make an informed choice on April 7.
Our older students (5th and 6th graders) enjoyed sharing their knowledge of robotics with their first-grade peers. They guided them step by step in building a functioning robot. While teaching the younger students important STEM skills, the older students are developing leadership capabilities. First graders practiced collaborating within a group and developed more independent problem-solving skills. Who knew learning could be so much fun!
Attention HONOR SOCIETY students still needing hours: Lacee & Chris Bales could use some help at the former Pride Park doing clean-up work. They said they would be there all Spring Break working! 👷🏼♀️👷🏼♂️
The middle school had a great time at the STEM Career Showcase! Thank you to all who attended!
All students are safely back in their designated buildings. Thank you for your patience.
Out of an abundance of caution, and considering the trauma the last spring storms had on our kids and community, we are bringing everyone in the FEMA building until the thunderstorm passes.
