The Bolden Bugle Newsletter

Bolden Parents,
A few weeks ago, you received a mid-quarter progress report indicating your child’s grades for the first 6 weeks. I encourage you to speak with your child’s teacher if you have any concerns or questions regarding your child’s progress.
I wanted to remind you that report cards will be sent out on October 11th and Parent-Teacher conferences are on October 11th and 15th! Be on the lookout for your teacher's conference invitation. We look forward to meeting with you!
Dr. Angela Stephens

Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.
This year’s theme is: “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together.”
The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson. It was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover 30 days beginning on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402.
September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day, or Día de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within these 30 days.
Hispanic Americans have been integral to the prosperity of the U.S. Their contributions to the nation are immeasurable, and they embody the best of American values. The Hispanic-American community has left an indelible mark on the U.S. culture and economy.

The book fair is coming soon!!!! Bolden’s book fair week is September 30th through October 4th during your students' lunch period. There will be a chance for your student(s) to preview the book fair during their class period on Monday, September 30th. They will be able to make their wish lists during that time. The book fair will be open after school on Tuesday, October 1st from 3:30-6:00 pm for parents to shop with their students. We look forward to seeing some Eagle readers at the book fair!!!

Our school has a Child and Youth Behavioral Military & Family Life Counselor.
Ms. Tiffany Holland is at the school daily to work with military children
and their families. She is available to assist with communication, self–esteem/self-confidence,
resolving conflicts, behavioral management techniques, bullying, angry
feelings, sibling/parental relationships, and deployment and reintegration issues. If
you would like to authorize your child to talk with Ms. Tiffany, please fill out the parental
permission slip available in the front office.
Student Contact Information
Please notify the office if you have any new phone numbers (home, work, cell), or if you no longer use a number previously
listed with the school. It is important to us that your child’s contact information is current for their teachers, school nurse, and principal.
We also want to ensure that you receive all messages sent to Bolden families through the Everbridge notification system.
Important School Information
A New Front Office Email Address
We are pleased to announce that a new email address has been
established to facilitate communication between families and
the school. The email address is boldenfrontoffice@dodea.edu.
This email will serve as the primary channel for parents and sponsor to communicate
attendance-related matters, including notifying us when a
student will be absent for the day or if there are emergency
dismissal changes.
Important Points:
Email Address: Please use the provided email address
(boldenfrontoffice@dodea.edu) when sending attendance
notes or dismissal change requests. It is crucial that both the
child’s homeroom teacher and the front office receive your
email.
Dismissal Changes: To ensure safety and security, we will
not accept dismissal changes after 2:30 p.m. If you need to
make any permanent transportation or dismissal changes,
please complete the required form. You can obtain the form
by visiting the school front office or requesting it to be sent
home.
Email Format for Dismissal Changes: When emailing a
dismissal change, please include the following details:
* Child’s full name
* Your name (parent/sponsor)
* Homeroom teacher’s name
* Specific dismissal changes for that day
Classroom Questions and Concerns: While this email
address is primarily for attendance and dismissal matters, if
you have specific classroom-related questions or concerns, we
encourage you to directly email the teacher responsible for
your child’s class. Thank you for your cooperation, and we
look forward to maintaining effective communication with our
school community.
