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
Our new flag team will perform at tonight's Winter Program. There will also be a few surprises that only a select few know about. Performance starts at 6 pm. Seating for parents is located in the chairs and bleachers in the middle section. Enjoy the evening! #1townschoolcommunity
Incorporating writing, academic language and @next_gen_math with standards based teaching is making a difference with BW students. @mrs_younger_ & @teachlopez123 led today's focus on looking at student work. Thank you @caedpartners for a great partnership #1townschoolcommunity
Awesome start today! We heard 3 & 4 year olds sing "S-A-N-T-A, and Santa is his name--o". After singing, Santa showed up to listen to the preschoolers. Thank you @aeraenergyllc for sending elves to help Santa. The BW office staff had a picture with Santa. #1townschoolcommunity

Power has been restored to the school. We are now on full and complete operation. Thank you!
You can send your children to school. The power is out throughout the Buttonwillow community. School will be in session. Power is expected to be returned to the campus at 11:45. All safeguards will be in place. Thank you.
The last staff meeting before break called for a gingerbread house competition including most edible least likely to be a house, most creative, and cleanest. #1townschoolcommunity

A wonderful evening at the Buttonwillow Parade and Christmas Tree Lighting. Our preschool performed, our band played, our Cotton Festival Princesses returned as elves, Marianna soloed on the flute, and the flag team did a marched. #1townschoolcommunity @smallschoolda @nrea1
