November is Family Engagement Month
November 1, 2015
Florida Family Engagement in Education Month is a time to celebrate the important role parents and families play in their children's education. When schools work together with families to support learning, children are more motivated to succeed - not just in school, but throughout life.
The Florida Department of Education recognizes the vital role that schools and families play throughout a child's educational journey. To help schools celebrate Florida Family Engagement in Education Month, DOE has created a toolkit, which can be accessed at http://www.fldoe.org/schools/family-community/activities-programs/parental-involvement.stml.

Dads Take Your Child to School Day
September 30, 2015
Bonifay Elementary will be taking part in the new statewide initiative “Dads Take Your Child To School Day” on Wednesday, September 30. We are going to allow dads, or any male role models involved in that student’s life, to walk with their student to class. After walking them to class, teachers and staff will help those participating find their way to the Activity Building located on the east side of the school. While we wait for everyone to arrive, refreshments will be provided. At 8:00, a brief video and a few words will be shared with everyone. We look forward to sharing this brief part of the day with you.
