Used Books Fundraiser:  Our 5th graders are collecting gently used books to sell and recycle for their end of year activities as part of a fundraiser.  If you have any gently used books, you can drop them off at the gates during pick up/drop off or the front office.  Books will be sold at our Cocoa and Snow Day.  Thank you.  

WRAP Students:  We are asking all families to remind their students who attend WRAP to check in with WRAP even if they will be picked up before the end of the program.  We have had several instances when students are confused about whether or not they are getting picked up early so having them check in to one spot on a consistent basis makes it much more manageable.  We appreciate your attention to this matter.   

Important Dates:  Please calendar the following dates:  

• Open House:  Burcham teachers voted to have Open House sooner than the district date this year.  Burcham’s Open House will be on Tuesday, April 8th from 5:00-6:30 pm.  It will not be a minimum day.  

• Spring Break:  Spring Break has been moved district-wide to the week BEFORE Easter this year.  We will be on Spring Break from April 11th-18th and return the day after Easter.  Please ensure to align your family vacation time with this week off.  It is greatly appreciated.

• January Reading Incentive:  Reading incentive form is due on January 31st to spin the big wheel.
