🚒❤️ THANK YOU, BOLIVIA FIRE DEPARTMENT! ❤️🚒

A huge THANK YOU to Chief Boutwell and the entire Bolivia Fire Department for hosting a school supply drive and generously donating supplies to our Bolivia Bears! 🐻📚✏️

Your kindness and generosity make a meaningful difference for our students and their families. Partnerships like this are so important because it truly takes a village to help our children grow, learn, and feel supported.

Thank you for ALL that you do for our community—and most importantly, for our children! ❤️💛

We are so thankful 🐻🚒

We are SO excited to welcome our Bears and families back for the 2026–2027 school year! 🎉📚 We know the first week comes with lots of excitement, questions, and a few extra moving pieces, so here are some important reminders to help us get off to a great start!

Morning Drop-Off & Afternoon Pick-Up 🚗🐻

Hopefully, this helps make our morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up routines a little easier! The first picture shows the morning drop-off route, and the second picture shows the afternoon pick-up route.

A few important reminders:

🌅 Morning Drop-Off: Our gates will open at 8:10 a.m. to begin welcoming students into the building.

🚗 Drop-Off Gates: The drop-off gates are located on the right side of the vehicle. If possible, having your child seated on that side can help make drop-off a little quicker and easier.

🌆 Afternoon Pick-Up: We will have staff members directing traffic, so please be aware and follow their directions to help keep traffic moving safely and smoothly.

👨‍👩‍👧 Walking Your Child In: During the first week of school, you are welcome to walk your child into the building. Please enter through the front office.

After the first week, families will use the regular drop-off line. Don't worry—our Safety Patrol will be ready to help our Bears get where they need to go!

Thank you for helping us make morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up safe, smooth, and successful for everyone! We appreciate your patience and support as we get into our new routines!
