The annual spring book fair and taco dinner will be Wednesday, March 11th from 4-7pm in the Bluffiview Cafeteria. Additionally, the book fair will be open during specials on Thursday the 12th and Friday the 13th!
First graders work to make 3D shapes in Mrs. Howell's class.

It's time for the annual 5 Essentials Parent Survey! It takes about 15 minutes to complete this survey, once for each school that your child attends. This means that some of you may take the survey up to 3 times.
Tip: When you are asked for the county, spell-out "Saint Clair" and don't use abbreviations.
We promise to read all anonymous feedback, so please participate in the survey. This is very important for our district and to benefit the most from our state report card, we need at least 20% parent participation at each school.
Please complete as soon as possible. https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/?target_name=parent

The reveal is here!!
While they did not turn out as vibrant as we wanted, our students were excited about their frozen orbs. The orbs are being displayed in the planters outside Bluffview's main doors.
With the cold weather moving in, students in Ms. Church and Mrs. Gischer's class finally have the chance to attempt the "frozen orb" craze seen on TikTok and YouTube. Students put food coloring and water in balloons and placed them outside. Our goal is to end up with the frozen colored orbs as seen in the last photo.
Ms. Church's student recently learned about artist Vincent Van Gogh and had fun creating their own art inspired by Van Gogh's famous painting "A Starry Night."
#Congratulations to our January 2026 Students of the Month! 🎉🤩👍 #education

Santa's little helpers were busy in Room 310 yesterday. They practiced their wrapping skills for the upcoming holiday season. We are thankful for Ms. Tina and the cafeteria staff for allowing us to place our creations under their tree.
Students in Ms. Church and Mrs. Gischer's room spent a fun-filled afternoon making houses out of graham crackers, icing, and sweets.
Spirit Wear orders are in and have been delivered to homeroom teachers. They will be sent home tomorrow. Please let the office know if something is wrong. Thank you so much for supporting Bluffview's Student Council!
Bluffview PTO will have Santa's Cottage open from 8am-10am on 12/19. Thank you!
Merry Grinchmas from Fourth Grade 🎄✨️
