Tuesday is Electronic Game Day
Students may bring in electronic games. There will be no surfing on the internet. No social media, no texting, etc. This is only for GAMES. No "M" games allowed at all! I will be keeping the device of any child doing anything inappropriate. The parents will have to pick up the devices on the last day of school. This is meant to be a fun day for all!
Medications!
Student medications stored in the Clinic should be picked up by a parent/guardian before the end of the school year. Medications may not be sent home with students per GCPS county policy. Controlled medications (for ADHD and seizures) must be signed out to a parent/guardian by Clinic Staff at time of pick up. Medications not picked up by 4:00pm on Friday, May 23, 2014 will be discarded or turned over to a GCPS Safety Resource Officer. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. Have a safe and happy summer! Leslie Durio, RN

Field Trip
Things to bring: snacks and drinks in a small sling back pack. Your lunch, if you didn't order a school lunch. You should not bring money or electronics. You may bring a regular camera, not your phone. Phones may get lost, broken or stolen and WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM! Rain gear if the weather report calls for rain.
Chaperons, please do not purchase anything for your assigned group. If you would like to purchase something for the entire class, you may do so. Thank you!
Please wear closed toed shoes!
Wear sunscreen!
Bring your best behavior. You will be representing Burnette!
Please wear your Burnette 5th Grade T-shirt, any Burnette tshirt or a blue shirt if at all possible. It will be much easier to keep up with everyone if we are all in blue!
Don't be late to school; we cannot hold the buses!

Book Hunt!
It's that time of year...please start searching your homes, cars, and book bags for text books, library books and any of my personal books. My books usually have a sticker on them and my name written on the cover or inside. I lose a multitude of books every year. I know the students don't mean to take them home and forget about them, but it happens every year. Please search carefully and start bringing them in. Thank you so much for helping me out with this!
