Happy National Instructional Coach Day to Ashley Caviness and Heather Engdahl! We’re so incredibly thankful for the way these two serve our staff because so much of what they do happens right in the middle of the work. They’re sitting beside teachers, jumping into team conversations, helping us think through instruction, and working through the questions that come up along the way. They know our staff, they care about the work, and they make coaching feel like a partnership. BIS is better because of the way Ashley and Heather show up for our teachers every day!

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Creating a safe school environment starts with all of us! This week, let's focus on inclusion. Let's encourage kids to invite someone new to sit with them at lunch or play at recess. Together, we can make everyone feel like they belong!

It’s Picture Day here at BIS! We asked students, “If you could make any face you wanted to make on picture day, and your parents HAD to buy the picture, what face would you make?”

Enjoy! 🤣
