GUIDANCE CORNER
Hi there, Mrs. Joiner and Mrs. Tiffany here! We have enjoyed meeting all of our Broncos and we look forward to working with all of the students at Bevis. Each month, during our classroom guidance lessons we will be learning different character traits. The character trait for August was RESPONSIBILITY. Responsibility is described to our students as being accountable for something or someone, a job, or a duty. During our lessons our Broncos were excited to share their responsibilities at school, at recess, and even at home. Our students are all hardworking thanks to our wonderful families who are instilling personal responsibility into their lives on a daily bases. Keep up the great work, Broncos!
FALL PICTURE DAY
Fall Pictures Day is Friday, September 8th. Students may wear picture attire for these pictures. Shoes must still have a back on them and strapless or skinny straps must be covered with a sweater. Strawbridge recommends that students avoid wearing the color green. Picture order forms went home August 21st. Please fill these out and return them by Picture Day Friday September 8th.
CAFETERIA CORNER A great way to help your child build self confidence is for them to learn their student number. This number is used in the Cafeteria when they buy breakfast and/or lunch and snacks. They also use the same number in the Media Center for book check out. This number will stay the same for the duration of the time they are in Hillsborough County Schools.
CHANGES TO END-OF-DAY ROUTINE Please remember to send a note to school or write in your child’s agenda if you need to change the way your student routinely goes home after school. When a student is to go home with another student, parents need to send in a note. If an emergency requires a change after the school day begins, please call the school office before 12:15 on Mondays and 1:15pm on Tuesdays through Fridays, rather than leaving a message on the voice mail. This will ensure that the teacher receives the information prior to the end of the day.
RAINY DAY PLAN Please review with your child their rainy day plan. Due to the quickly changing Florida weather, rainy day dismissals are decided upon at 12:40 0n Monday’s and 1:40pm Tuesday—Friday. To help with communication at the end of the day, if there is going to be a “Rainy Day Dismissal”, we will text you with our Parent Link System. This will alleviate you having to make a last minute call to the school to remind your child how they will be going home for the day. Thanks for your help!
