This is what LCAP Taco Night looks like in BW. The staff watches the children and serves the food, the admin works with the parents for input to add to the LCAP. School and community at it's best. Thank you parents and staff. #1townschoolcommunity @SmallSchoolDA @caedpartners




Our Kinder through 8th grade students received their second quarter academic performance and improvement award trip. They travelled to Taft to enjoy a special movie at The Fox Theatre. #bwexperience #1townschoolcommunity


Great discussion today. Gr. 1-8 focusing on math/AVID & our meeting with our PS and Kinder teachers focusing on students as well as what we need to do to incorporate parents and staff into our 0-3 program starting in 20-21. @thisisavid @caedpartners #1townschoolcommunity




Enjoy watching the many activities that @ChrisLaFever2 brings to our PS-8th grade classes. Foundational skills are just as important in PE as they are in other subjects. The students have been gradually working on frisbee skills and will move to disc golf tomorrow.


Additional great presentations at our staff development on Wed. Sharing more literacy ideas. Teachers leading is empowering. @a_nrod @Rockin_in_5th @mrguzmanbw9 @ClintonJParris1 @ClaraYanez2 @Missturm @diana_the_twin @TisaTisafischer @mrs_younger_ @PaulArreola5 @caedpartners



A great day for our Girls' STEM Academy. Our girls were hosted by @Macys. The girls worked in 7 groups to dress their professional mentor for an interview. This included choosing shoes and having makeup done by their staff. Mentors then performed a fashion show during lunch.




The Buttonwillow staff is using the @avid4college strategy "Give One Get One" to share ideas about how to improve parent communication. The second part of the staff meeting included @crazyinkinder14 and @badiva sharing reading strategies. #1townschoolcommunity @smallschoolda



Great Girls'Basketball game today vs. Rio Bravo. The game went to a double OT before Rio Bravo pulled it out with a basket in the final 20 seconds.

Today was the award drawing for @okstate gear. Our students won shirts, sweatshirts, pullovers, beanies, folders lanyards, and other items featuring The Oklahoma State Cowboys. Are there future students in this picture? @AVID4College #bw2college #1townschoolcommunity

Those little things that go unnoticed at school are numerous. In this case changing out our new wireless access points for our gym. #1townschoolcommunity


This is what it looks like when your math instructional leaders return from @caedpartners and share ideas. Most importantly, it also represents an entire staff working together for all students. Thank you for sharing our initial mentoring concept. #1townschoolcommunity

When we say we are #1townschoolcommunity we mean it. Thank you to Sue Watkins, our Family Resource Center and the @unitedwaykern for providing VITA that helps our families understand how to submit taxes. We work together to help educate the entire community. #bwexperience

Great things are happening at BW during this short week. Our Preschool and K students had a visit from the Kern County Dental Network for Children, after school programs continue for classes like coding, and the Math and ELA teams met for Continuous Improvement. #bwexperience

Our monthly ELA meetings continued this morning with a focus on phonemic awareness. Thank you to Teresa Twisselman from the @kclearnnetwork for coming out to BW and working with our teachers and sharing up to date rrsearch. #1townschoolcommunity

Another effort to close the equity gap at BW. Students received wireless hotspots today. Chromebooks can go home for classwork. The hotspots will connect through district servers and firewalls. Students will access Google accounts and approved sites. #1townschoolcommunity



What a great day to be starting up school again after the break. It was wonderful to see our Roadrunners back at school. #1townschoolcommunity #bwexperience



The Great Wall of Darryl Tindell has been rebuilt. Last time we shared how our MOT Staff waxed the gym floors. Today, while 50 other staff were enjoying vacation, Darryl, Ruben, and Misty rebuilt the Great Wall without major injury. Splinters don't count. #1townschoolcommunity

Thank you @buttonwillowusd, staff, students, & families for making the Winter Program awesome. Watching preschoolers perform, students performing for the first time on stage in 8 years, new leaders shining, and the community coming together in one room. #1townschoolcommunity
