Bancroft-Rosalie Case Study: Using EdReady Math

The State of Nebraska has identified the Bancroft-Rosalie School use of EdReady Math in a case study. This program is being promoted to Nebraska schools.

In the summer of 2018, eleven students completed EdReady Algebra Readiness and went into Algebra, passing over one year of Pre-Algebra.
 

B-R Class of 2018 contributes quote to Veterans Park in West Point

Last fall Bancroft-Rosalie(and surrounding schools) submitted quotes to be considered for American Veterans Park in West Point. The committee chose one of Bancroft’s quotes to be displayed on the Air Force Folded flag statue. Attached is a copy of the design being created. The front will use the Class of 2018’s quote. The Veterans Park Committee sent a Thank you for the students' efforts and supporting the park. The school checked the internet to insure that the quote was authentic (not plagiarized). It is a very touching statement.

School Nutrition information

August 10, 2018
Bancroft-Rosalie School encourages all families that are eligible for free or reduced priced meals to complete the application. Submit your applications as soon as possible so you can avoid paying for meals. 

INCOME ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES ANNOUNCED

FOR SCHOOL LUNCH, OTHER NUTRITION PROGRAMS

The Nebraska Department of Education’s Nutrition Services section has announced the Income Eligibility Guidelines for free and reduced price meals for those unable to pay the full price of meals served under the National School Lunch, Breakfast, Special Milk and Child and Adult Care Food Programs.

Participating schools, child care, and adult care centers have a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party.

Application forms are currently being distributed to all households with a letter to parents, guardians, or adult participants. To apply for free or reduced price meals households should fill out the application and return it to their school or agency. Additional copies are available from the school principals or agency administrator. The information provided on the application will be used to determine eligibility and may be verified at any time during the year by school or program officials. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year.

The following household size and income criteria will be used for determining eligibility. Participants from families whose income is at or below the levels shown are eligible for free or reduced price meals.

Children who are members of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) assistance units, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) households are automatically eligible to receive free meals as are participants at adult care centers receiving Food Stamps, FDPIR, SSI, or Medicaid.

The same meals will be made available to all enrolled participants regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin, or disability, and there is no discrimination in the course of the meal service. Non-pricing programs provide meals at no separate charge. Pricing programs provide free and reduced price meals to those meeting the approved eligibility criteria. Persons who believe they have been treated unfairly in receiving food services for any of these reasons should write immediately to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250.

Volunteers needed for Thunder By The River

Volunteer Ticket-takers are needed for Thunder By The River in Wisner August 17-18 2018.

Each volunteer is asked to work one 4 hour shift and will receive one free ticket to the tractor pull ($25 value).

Volunteer times start Friday at 2 pm, 4 pm and 5 pm. Saturday starting times are 9 am, 11 am, 3 pm, 4 pm, and 5 pm. For example, signing up for the 11 am Saturday session would mean working from 11 am-3 pm and then attending the tractor pull later that day.

There are five gates, and a paid security guard is stationed at each gate.

Proceeds from the Tractor Pull have been used to fund scholarships to high school Seniors at Bancroft-Rosalie and other local high schools.

If interested, let Dr. Cerny know by Thursday August 9 to get your name on the list.
