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
Great to have our staff back together and focusing on integrating @avid4college strategies with our math instruction. Intentional use of cross grade level discussion with late start Wednesdays. @next_gen_math #bwrunners @smallschoolda
We stressed at the beginning of the year that we would focus on the "FUNdamentals". Today we saw relationship building at breakfast, hands-on math activities, everyone active in PE, & use of the Chromebooks to discuss writing formats. @smallschoolda @rudysalasjr @Senator_Hurtado
Nearly 65 schools & districts in CA have closed, burned, or been destroyed due to wildfires. Most of these are small & rural like Buttonwillow. Our students will write letters this week . Ways to help are below. Gift cards can be donated in office. @KCSOS @smallschoolda @CCSESA
Another major step in getting our solar up and running. @SitelogIQ @rudysalasjr @Senator_Hurtado @RepDavidValadao @smallschoolda
@MissDPayne2 starting working with our band for the first time in 17 months. great to see the enthusiasm. Also included a picture of the breakfast wagons before they go out. Maybe the band can play the theme song from "Rawhide" https://youtu.be/PFGyhSifqzA @smallschoolda @nrea1
Today @MissDPayne2 started teaching band after 17 months. It is great to see the enthusiasm. Also included a picture of what the wagons look like at breakfast distribution. Maybe the band will learn the theme song from "Rawhide". https://youtu.be/PFGyhSifqzA @smallschoolda @nrea1
