Dear BES Families, this message is to inform you that students are being dismissed early. Busses are returning to the school to pick up students for dismissal. Students who are parent pick up only will remain at the Burnsville United Methodist Church for parent pick up. Students who are transported by bus will be returned to the church if a parent/guardian is not home. Teachers and staff will remain with students until everyone is returned home safely. We appreciate your patience as we keep student safety our first priority.
Santa's workshop
Country Meat Sticks are in! They are available for pick up in the office. If you are okay with them being sent home with your student, please call the office. We have lots of extras for sale in the office.
You are invited to attend a Family Engagement meeting at
Burnsville Elementary School on Thursday, December 5, 2024 at
10:00 AM. Topics include: The 12 Powerful Words, accessing
the WV Standards, and grade level take home activities.
There will be a guest speaker, prize drawing and light refreshments. Hope to see you there!
I will be ordering the Meat Sticks on the morning of Nov. 13th in order for them to arrive before Thanksgiving break. I previously said the date was extended to the 15th, but they have to be ordered by the 13th. I'm sorry if this causes any inconvenience.
Please turn in Walk-A-Thon papers by Wednesday, October 30, 2024. Students that do not have at least one sponsor will not participate. Money is not due until the Walk-A-Thon is completed. Money will be due by Wednesday, November 6, 2024. If you need an extra form, please let me know.

October 20th - 26th, 2024
Participating is as easy as choosing a book and reading it with your child for 15 minutes each day from October 20th - 26th. We can't wait for you to celebrate with us!
We would like to bring PTO back to BES. Some parents have expressed interest, but it takes more than a few to make PTO possible. Join us on Monday, October 21, 2024 at 5:00 to elect officers, set goals, and plan events for the school year. Parents, guardians, and teachers are welcome. We need Y.O.U.
This is a friendly reminder that if your student is to do something different than what they normally do after school, we must have a note. If there is an emergency and a note is not sent, please call the school before 2:00. Students are not with their regular teacher at the end of the day, so calling before 2:00 ensures that the message is relayed to the student and their regular teacher. If there is a change in students going to the library, please call the library to inform them of the change as well as the school. Thank you!
Don't forget to get those sponsors and/or donations for the Walk-A-Thon!
On Thursday, October 31, 2024, we will hold our annual Title I meeting at 1:00 before our other activities. Students will be participating in a Walk-A-Thon at BES. Students will have 30 minutes to complete as many laps as possible on the field. The funds will go to help pay for student incentives such as field trips, assemblies, and much more.
We are combining these events with our annual Trunk-or-Treat on the field. Title I Meeting will be in the cafeteria at 1:00. The Walk-A-Thon will begin at 1:30 pm with Trunk-or-Treat immediately after. Please keep this in mind when purchasing a costume for your child. Parents are encouraged to come walk with their child and stay for the afternoon activities. Rain date for the Walk-a-Thon and Trunk or Treat is scheduled for Monday, November 4, 2024.
Preschool students must be accompanied by an adult if participating in the Walk-A-Thon.
If you need an extra form, they are available in the office.
