Good afternoon BIS families,

We made it through our first full week of school in a long time!

A few important reminders:

Report Cards
Report cards will be shared through ParentSquare on Friday, March 20.

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Teachers will be offering parent/teacher conferences on Thursday, April 2. If teachers feel a conference is needed at this time, they will reach out to schedule one. However, please feel free to contact your child’s teacher if you would like to connect about your child’s progress.

Student Leadership Conference
Students from both our Grade 5 and Grade 6 leadership teams had the opportunity to attend a leadership conference at Cheshire High School on Thursday. They connected with students from other schools and worked on strengthening their teamwork and leadership skills.

School Consolidation Information
Dr. Britton has shared additional information about the proposed school consolidation plan, and I wanted to be sure our community has access to these resources.

You can review a Q&A document that addresses many common questions here:

A video summary of the Valley View tour from this past Monday is available here:

Upcoming Community Event
Monday, March 16 | 6:00 p.m.
Gildersleeve Elementary School
Join us for a tour of Gildersleeve and a presentation outlining the vision to renovate the building and establish a Grades 3–5 school.

Thank you for staying engaged in these important conversations about our schools. Additional information, including a website and flyers, will be shared next week, and we expect an article in tomorrow’s Rivereast as well.

Have a nice weekend.

Portland High School Presents


Get ready for a spooky, hilarious, and heartwarming night as Portland High School and Portland Middle School proudly present The Addams Family!

This year's kooky show is all about love, family, and embracing what makes us unique. When Wednesday Addams falls in love with a “normal” boy and invites his family to dinner, chaos (and plenty of laughs) ensue!
Join us this spring for unforgettable music, energetic dancing, and a delightfully creepy performance by our talented students.
