A great ending to the week. Students making lasagna lunch, pajama party to comfortably read, BEEP Store rewards, and solar being connected to power. BW----Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break. See you on Monday, November 29. @smallschoolda @teachlopez123 @teach_turpin_24 @siteloIQ




Great to see both the boys' and girls' BW soccer teams starting the season with the first game of the year. Thank you @Lost_Hills_Sch. Good to see controlled passing and wonderful ball control. @leftinh8cho @smallschoolda @adminmom

Nice to have @hamilton_bunch and Jennifer Kritsch from @PLNUBake visiting our campus today. Its always wonderful to share the great things happening in our classrooms & with students. Connections with university programs is crucial. @SmallSchoolDA @nrea1 @caedpartners @CARuralEd

Buttonwillow School is on a 2 hour school delay. All operations run exactly 2 hours behind. Please drive safe and watch out for children.

Having a credentialed PE Teacher @leftinh8cho working directly w/ preschool students on a weekly basis is awesome. An I spy game with colors & shapes before running to the next station for another game. @caedpartners @smallschoolda @seccardona @timssda @nrea1 @caruraled @cadepted


The return of small grade level awards today. They might as well include costumes, awards, and of course Ready. #1townschoolcommunity @smallschoolda

BW school board & admin are proud of the positive school culture @ BW. In one day we celebrated two weddings, PBIS & the resetting of behavioral fundamentals after COVID, and after school our grade report training @AeriesSIS. @smallschoolda @CARuralEd #1townschoolcommunity




Impromptu concert for our 1st year band students. The preschool students listened to the beginning clarinet band practice. The importance of music and having our 3-5 year old interacting w/ older students. #1townschoolcommunity @TonyThurmond @SmallSchoolDA @CARuralEd @CADeptEd

It's about what goes on with accelerating student learning. Thank you @PaulArreola5 for adjusting to the needs of 6th grade. Thanks @karen35836549 for utilizing Counting Collections with your preschool students. @meganlfranke @SmallSchoolDA @caedpartners #1townschoolcommunity


Thank you Kim Larkin from the @KernKiDSKCSOS @KcsosStrong and @KCSOS for completing the first training with our teachers. The platform has been used by admin for three years to share data, but is being extended to teachers this year. #1townschoolcommunity @SmallSchoolDA

Our students are back playing sports again. We opened our season with wins in both volleyball and football against Lost Hills Wonderful Prep Academy. After just two days of practice they repped us well. Good job #bwrunners. #1townschoolcommunity @shafterfootball @general_pride




Thank you BW community for following our COVID guidelines. Not perfect but our numbers are good comparatively. No on campus transmissions, 32 students quarantined for 3.3% of student days, 94% of staff vaccinated, COVID testing for staff and starting for registered students.

It is special being in a small rural school because we can walk around & see students from ages 3 to 13 on our campus. Today PS was working with slime & verbally sharing about it. 5th grade was working on basic coding with their micro-bits. @smallschoolda @stemtaught @nrea1




We're excited to bring our #P3CC team together for Year 2. Awesome to be ahead of the curve in developing a coherent math program for our Preschool-3rd. Working into the evening as a team. Fueled by Buttonwillow's El Sabroso's tacos and burritos. @caedpartners @keyurharenshah


Wonderful discussion and civil discourse on the elements of grading for equity. Teachers as part of the decision makers. @caedpartners @LuisEArgueta1 @teachlopez123 @ClintonJParris1 @mrguzmanbw9 @ClaraYanez2 @Missturm @Msgonzalez_2nd @PaulArreola5 @AdmmomH @middle7teacher
