Berryton Elementary -

Reminder: NO SCHOOL Today, Monday 10/19, due to Parent Teacher Conferences. If you have not scheduled a PT conference, please contact your child's teacher. Thank you!

Hello Berryton families! Parent/Teacher conferences are next week. We like to provide meals for the teachers during these long days. This time we are having two meals brought in from restaurants instead of having families contribute food items. We are planning on providing pizza on one day and soup/sandwiches on the other. We are asking for donations to help cover the cost of these meals. If you can contribute a few dollars for these meals that would be great. Please send cash or checks made to Berryton PTO with your student through backpack mail in an envelope marked BES PTO MEALS by 10/21/20. Berryton teachers have been working so hard and we want to show that we appreciate them. Thank you for your support! Please contact Karlee Bocquin with questions at krboc@msn.com

Bonjour's Bus #50 is running 20-25 minutes behind schedule this morning. We appreciate your patience. Thank you!

This coming Monday, Sept. 28th will be the second Picture Day at Berryton. Pictures will be ordered completely online and the informational flyer is directly below. Students in Track A who normally attend on Monday and Tuesday will be photographed. In addition we invite students that are completely remote to join us for picture day. Remote students may come to the building anytime between 12-2 and will need to ring the door bell. In following Shawnee County guidelines only students will be allowed to enter and family members will need to wait in their vehicles. We anticipate this would be a quick process and would take no more than 10-15 minutes.

CORRECTION!! A NEW mask design is now available on our online Berryton Buffalos store!!! It is available on either the black or gray mask, $8 for 1 or 2 masks for $12. All proceeds from the mask sales will be used to buy needed materials for our school through the Berryton PTO. https://berrtytonbuffalomask.itemorder.com/

The first round of Berryton Buffalos masks are here and you can pick them up on Sunday from 5:30-6:30 in front of the school in the parent pickup lane. If your order is here you should have received an email notification from Leigh’s Tees. If you did not receive an email that the masks you ordered were in, your masks will be arriving at the school in the next shipment on Tuesday and will be sent home with your student. If you would still like to order masks you may do so on our school’s store (the link is in the Comments) and all the orders will be sent directly to the school once a week. Thank you for supporting your school & the Berryton Elementary PTO! https://berrtytonbuffalomask.itemorder.com/
