Announcements

In light of recent events, we continue to evaluate our drop-off and pick-up procedures for safety and efficiency. We have noticed cars that turn left at the overhang instead of looping around in the back of the building are often driving at unsafe speeds and unaware of students and staff in the crosswalks. In order to address this issue, we will be coning off this lane so the only way to access the drop-off and pick-up line will be through the line that loops around in the back of the building. We realize this might cause some inconvenience, but we prioritize the safety of our students over everything else and feel this is an action that needs to be taken at this point in time. We will begin with the cones on Monday, February 17th.

 

Dear Burleigh Families,

This year your student will have the opportunity to participate in the Burleigh Science Fair. This project is optional for all students in K4-5th grade and will be showcased at school on Friday, March 21, 2025.

Students will complete 100% of the project at home. They are expected to plan and conduct their experiments, record their data, and prepare their display board. Students who sign up for the science fair will be emailed a science fair planning packet that provides additional information. Students will not conduct their experiments at the science fair, but they are welcome to bring artifacts to display (props, photos, results, etc.).

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Michael Goodman (3rd grade) at goodmanm@elmbrookschools.org. 

If you are interested in participating, sign up at the LINK below:
