BES Parents- Due to the rise of COVID-19 positive cases on the Biggersville campus, it has become necessary to move ALL BES students into a Distance Learning format for the remainder of this week. Students will NOT ATTEND CLASSES AT Biggersville Elementary School Tuesday, Nov 10- Friday, Nov 13. All students grades K-4 have been sent home with paper/pencil packets today. Students in grades 5 & 6 have been sent home with their iPads AND some paper work. These 5/6 grade students know how to access their Google Classroom and should check daily for assignments. I do apologize for the inconvenience I know this causes many of our families, however, I firmly feel that this is the best call to make for our students and staff at this time. Should your student test positive or be exposed to COVID-19 during this week of distance learning, PLEASE CALL the BES office and let us know. Thank you. -Mrs. White

If your child is quarantined, please watch future text messages for another opportunity for make up pictures. REMEMBER- our very useful garbage bag fundraiser is happening NOW! All orders & money are due in the BES office on Friday! We are asking each student to sell 5 rolls of bags. Garbage bags should arrive BEFORE Thanksgiving break. We hope to have our Biggersville sweatshirts in soon, & will send them home as soon as they arrive! We have 14 more school days before Thanksgiving break arrives. Please continue to have your kiddos at school by 7:30 each morning & encourage them every day to BE KIND, DO THEIR BEST, & MAKE GOOD CHOICES! So thankful to be a Biggersville Lion! ~Mrs. White
