Ordway Weekly Newsletter - Monday August 26, 2024

Inside this Newsletter

Welcome to the new school year! We are excited to embark on this journey with you and your children. At Ordway, we believe that building a strong partnership with our families is the foundation for your children’s success. Trust is at the heart of this partnership, and we are committed to creating an environment where your child feels safe, supported, and inspired to learn. Our staff is here to listen, collaborate, and work together to ensure that every child thrives - there are no silly questions. We look forward to getting to know parents new to Ordway and building a relationship with all parents based on open communication and mutual respect.

Thank you for entrusting your children into our care. Together, we can make this year a positive and enriching experience for all.

We hope to see you at this Friday's Meet & Greet 9-10 am!

Best,

Debra​

Your child's class assignment can be found on Skyward. The ABC process must be complete before you can see their assignment.

If you need assistance with school supplies please contact Ordway Office Manager Sarah Dunstan sdunstan@bisd303.org / 206-780-1397. We have supplies on hand to meet the needs of your student.

New This year: PTO has uploaded the school supply list to “Teacher List” which shows the lists and you can choose which vendor to purchase from. Questions? Contact, PTO Presidents: Christina Cielusniak and Sydney Bond.ordway.president@bainbridgeptos.org

Please tell us on the Google Form link below how your child will leave Ordway during the first two weeks of school. Later, on the first day of school we will send home a paper form for you to fill out, which will reflect their schedule going forward.

BISD uses ParentSquare to share district and school communications (such as this newsletter) with our families, staff and the community.

All parents/guardians with a student in our school system can set up their ParentSquare account using the same email address listed in Skyward/Family Access. This document walks you through the necessary steps.

Free and reduced-price lunches may be obtained by any student -- at any time during the school year -- whose family income falls within the guidelines set by the US Department of Agriculture. Families are encouraged to apply. For assistance, call (206-780-1844) or email:  NutritionServices@bisd303.org.
