On Tuesday, August 8, students with last names beginning L-Z will also attend a full day. Then, on Wednesday, August 9th, we expect all students to be present for their classes.

Registration Day Details
Our registration day will take place on Thursday, August 3rd when you can come to Blythe-Bower Elementary School to complete the registration process and prepare for the new academic year. To ensure a smooth experience, we have designated specific time slots based on the last name of the student.

- Students with last names A-F can come for registration from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM.

It's a great chance to start building that positive connection with your new teacher and classmates.
