The District is hard at work planning for an addition to North Elementary. This much-needed new space will add 5 new classrooms. North Elementary is home to about 750 little Panthers and is busting at the seams due to our expanded preschool offerings. We can’t wait to add these new classrooms! Thank you to voters for approving the May 2026 Bond, which will fund this new space.

Check out some of the latest around Birch Run Area Schools!






Tomorrow! Please pass it on to those who need to get their vaccinations!

Mrs. Blasch’s Kindergarten class spent last week learning all about apples!
On Tuesday, our young scientists made predictions about whether an apple would sink or float in water. Then, they put their hypotheses to the test and recorded their findings!
Learning, experimenting, and having a little fun along the way!

For students to be independent at Preschool and Elementary School- it is expected that they are toilet trained. This includes the basics of going on the potty as well as being able to snap, button, and zip clothing. These are all skills you should be working on with your little one.
Are you struggling with potty training your child? Are you looking for ideas and tips for a toddler approaching potty training? Please come to this great community education event! 💙💛

This photo might not look much different, but if you look close you’ll see inspection sheets hanging off of our brand new boilers. That’s right, they are fully tested, inspected and ready for use. Thank you to our community for supporting the May bond which has funded this project!
