Hello to my parents of students who receive speech therapy!! I hope that all of you are staying safe and healthy! I have sent speech therapy homework packets to Mr. Hollis to send out to you for your child to work on while they are at home during the school shut down. I am also still available to do Zoom speech therapy sessions for any of you who are interested in doing so from home. If you are interested in having your child do zoom therapy sessions with me please either text me at 318-465-1001 or email me at smerrittspeech@bakersfield.k12.mo.us and let me know. Thank you all!!

If you need help with your work, you can always contact me. First, you may email me at kdillinger@bekersfield.k12.mo.us . Secondly, you may call me at the school; my extension is 307. I will be available to take calls from 11:00 to 3:45. I will be doing Zoom classes before then. Finally, if you are healthy and free of quarantine, you may come in for tutoring hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:00 to 7:00. This would also be a good time to pick up your textbook or get help if your flash drive isn't working properly.
This message is in behalf Mrs Johnson, the substitute art teacher. She has created Google Classrooms for grades 3-5. If your child is in those grades, please help them use the following codes to login to their Art Google Classroom.
3rd Grade - cakhhab
4th Grade - ezfm4r2
5th Grade - 5qwsiz4

Parents and Students: the MATH homework packets for 6th-8th grade will be ready for pickup starting from 5pm-7pm tomorrow, and then during normal school hours for the remainder of the week.
*If your child is going to have a flash drive, the homework packet will be IN THEIR BAG on THURSDAY with the flash drive, so you can get their packet at that point. Teachers are available to help with student questions all throughout each day, so please have students email or send a message on Remind if they need help. Thank you!
Flash Drives for 6-12th grade students:
If your child needs work on flash drives call 284-7333 ext. 403 and leave a message. We will not return calls --just tell us your child's name and grade and we will have it ready for you.
Flash drives will have two weeks of material/instruction on them. They will be available for pick up on Thursday, Oct. 22 after 12:00 pm. until Friday, Oct. 23 at 3:00 pm.
Dear Parents,
Unfortunately the virus has significantly impacted our school and community to the point that the safest plan is to transition to virtual learning for two weeks. We plan to do this for the next two weeks, October 20-23 and 27-30. We will return to seated learning on Tuesday, November 3.
It is our sincere hope and desire that the two weeks will be adequate time to pass all isolation and quarantine periods. Also, if any other students and staff have been exposed, 14 days is the time frame when symptoms should present. At that point, those persons with symptoms could seek treatment and everyone else would be able to come back.
Teachers will be available during school hours for questions. Many will be conducting zoom classes so if your child has a question during the time the teacher is conducting a different class in zoom, the teacher will get back with you as soon as possible.
IN ADDITION, all teachers (unless required to isolate because they are positive for COVID) will be on campus Tuesday and Thursday evenings between 5 to 7 pm to answer questions or provide tutoring during the two weeks we are doing virtual learning. If you bring your kids to campus, they must be healthy and wear a mask! You may also call your teacher at school during these times.
I sincerely apologize for this. All of us at school would much prefer seated instruction. Seated instruction is better for kids and easier for teachers, however, with the significant numbers we are experiencing at the moment, the safest place for kids to learn for right now is at home.
Students, FFA fundraiser order forms and money are due. If you have orders and money to turn in please do so this week so I can place the final order. If you are quarantined and cannot turn in your orders please contact Mr. Grigg at jgrigg@bakersfield.k12.mo.us for further instructions.
9-12 Students--Flash Drives will be available for this week on Friday after 12:00 for students that requested flash drives. If you did not stop by the office and ask for one yesterday and you need them call the office ASAP.

High School Students--Classes Start at 8:00 this morning! Get on zoom and be ready to learn!!
All Middle School and High School basketball, and softball games are cancelled for the week of Oct. 12-16.
Beginning Wednesday, October 14th, the High School Only will be going to virtual learning through next Friday, October 23. All K-8 students will continue on campus for seated instruction. Buses will run normal routes. If you have a student in K-8 and have concerns about sending your child to seated instruction during this outbreak in our area, or someone in your home has a health issue, you may elect virtual as well. Simply call the office to notify us of this choice.
We will be moving to virtual learning for High School ONLY beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, October 14 for the rest of this week and next week. High students may return to seated instruction (unless quarantined by health department) on Tuesday, October 27. Buses will run normal routes for all Kindergarten through 8th grade students. This outbreak has affected MANY of our high school students and staff. We are thankful, to this point, our younger kids have not been as greatly impacted. However, if you are not comfortable sending your child to seated instruction, or if someone in your home has a compromised immune system or other health issue, you may take choose to participate in the online learning until you are comfortable sending them back. Just notify the office. Please stay healthy!!
We apologize for the inconvenience and late notice, but we will have to cancel preschool for 2 weeks. We simply do not have enough educators to cover all required classes. Preschool will resume on October 27. Stay healthy!
Students that are positive or quarantined: teachers will have all materials on google, and will be doing zoom meetings. If you do not have good internet and need flash drives please call the office in the morning.
Attention MS/HS Students
Make sure and charge your chromebooks tonight, and bring back chromebooks, chargers, and all books/materials Tuesday morning.
WE ARE--LION STRONG!!!
