Dizzy

Book by Jonah Winter

 

This is the story of Dizzy Gillespie, a real cool cat who must have been born with a horn in his hands, judging from the way he played the trumpet. Jazz was his ticket on a train to better days, and he left his hard life in a small town for New York City and the hottest band around. But did Dizzy stand straight and play right? NO! He was a clown. He hit high notes, low notes, never-been-heard notes, and before he knew it, Dizzy created a whole new music: BEBOP.

Notice of Non-Discrimination

The District of Columbia has revised its notice of non-discrimination, a document that explicitly states District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) prohibits discrimination on a range of factors detailed in the notice as well as applicable federal and local laws.  The document further states that violation of the aforementioned laws will not be tolerated and violators will be subject to disciplinary action.  As required by the resolution agreement signed by DCPS, the District has included its revised notice of non-discrimination as a footer on each of the District’s webpages.  We are asking that your school also comply with this resolution by providing the same or a similar notice

of non-discrimination.

BURRVILLE EAGLES SOAR....

WITH GREAT SCHOOL ATTENDANCE!

 

There is a connection between school attendance, academic success and parent involvement.

Parents/Guardians have a responsibility to get their scholars to school on time, every day.

Breakfast is served 8:15 AM - 8:40 AM for students.  Instruction begins promptly at 8:45 AM.

Scholars who arrive to school after 8:45 AM are considered tardy.  They must get a tardy pass before being admitted to class.  Scholars who are absent for at least 3 days will be contacted by the teacher and social worker. Absenteeism and tardiness will be monitored daily by the social worker. Parents must provide the teacher or social worker with a written request to excuse an absent or tardy scholar.  Chronic absenteeism (10) unexcused days, is considered truancy, and will be handled by the social worker, according to the DC Compulsory School Attendance Law.
