We want to thank all staff that helped with getting the room ready, including removal of old furnishings, new paint and carpet, along with coordination of electrical and networking upgrades. Teachers starting curriculum training next week.

Thank you to Brian and Cole.
We appreciate everything you do to keep our facilities safe, operational, and looking their best. On the days when the rest of us are warm at home, you're out in the cold clearing snow, making sure our schools are ready. Thank you for your dedication, hard work, and for being the heart of our district – even on snow days!

Please forward this survey to anyone that may be interested in preschool programming for 3 or 4 year old children next school year.

Bath High School Robotics Team Update:
This season, we were selected to receive a Swerve Bundle donation from CTR Electronics and West Coast Products. This donation includes parts to build and use a swerve drive, rather than the tank drive we used last season. Building the swerve drive would allow us to achieve superior maneuverability and the ability to apply full power in any direction. This donation includes parts that would cost us more than four grand on our own.
We started off the season by attending a kick-off event at Laingsburg High School, where three schools and more than 80 students participated and watched the game reveal for this season.
We are currently waiting to receive our swerve drive bundle donation, as it hasn't arrived yet. In the meantime, we are working on building the top portion of our robot, and we hope to attend a workshop next weekend to pick up and build our swerve drive.

The middle school's 3 Bee-Botics teams competed in Mason for their second meet of the season on Thursday.
