Birchview Math Night We have a family event planned for April 16 from 5:00-6:00. Our second annual Math Night is designed to share our math program with families. Come play some of the math games students experience in the classroom, learn about ideas to help your child at home, and ask questions about the Bridges curriculum. We will also have a drawing for some fun math games to giveaway!
Sign Up for EPay We are going to start using EPay for collecting funds for classrooms, field trips, etc. The hope is that this will cut down on the amount of time teachers put in to working on field trips and the amount of cash and checks they have to handle in their classrooms.
