Dear Buena Vista Families,
This weekend, students are bringing home a morning and bedtime routine activity as part of our **Building Better Habits** theme.
Please work with your child to either review the routines your family already uses or create new ones together. Talk through the time your child needs for homework, reading, dinner, bathing, getting ready, and sleeping. Then try the routines and revise them as needed so they realistically fit your family’s home life.
The goal is not to create a perfect schedule. We want children to begin taking ownership of the habits that support their success while continuing to accept guidance, boundaries, and encouragement from their grown-ups.
Please return the completed routine plan to school on Monday. Thank you for helping our Bobcats build strong habits—one small choice at a time!

❤️ HEROES AMONG US ❤️
**A 9/11 Remembrance & Grandparents Celebration**
Buena Vista families, we invite the heroes in our students’ lives to join us for a very special morning!
Join us by registering for the event at this link: 9/11 Breakfast - Guest Registration link
Friday, September 11
8:00–8:30 AM
Buena Vista Cafeteria
As we remember September 11 and prepare to celebrate Grandparents Day on Sunday, September 13, we want to recognize the people who show our children what courage, kindness, service, love, and helping others look like.
Grandparents, we especially hope you’ll join us! Grandparents and grandparent figures play such a special role in the lives of our Bobcats, and we would love to celebrate you alongside all of the heroes who make a difference in our students’ lives.
Our students are creating artwork and special projects about heroes, and our cafeteria will be transformed into a Heroes Among Us Gallery for our guests to enjoy.
Students are welcome to celebrate the heroes in their lives—grandparents, parents, family members, first responders, community helpers, military members, teachers, caregivers, and other special people.
🥐 Can You Help With Breakfast?
To help us provide breakfast for our visiting heroes, we would greatly appreciate donations of store-bought breakfast items, such as:
- Muffins
- Donuts
- Breakfast pastries
- Mini muffins or donut holes
Other individually portioned, store-bought breakfast treats
Donations may be brought to school Thursday, September 10 at afternoon pick-up or Friday, September 11 at morning drop-off.
Thank you for helping us make this a meaningful morning for our students and the people they love!
Come enjoy breakfast, visit our student gallery, and allow us to celebrate the Heroes Among Us. ❤️
