Bacon Weekly - Welcome Back 24-25 School Year

 


Welcome Back to RM Bacon Elementary School for the 2024-2025 School Year!

Dear Bacon Family,

We are thrilled to welcome you all back to RM Bacon Elementary School for what promises to be an exciting and productive 2024-2025 school year! Whether you’re a returning member of our school community or new to the Bacon family, we are so happy to have you with us as we embark on another year of learning, growth, and fun.

Summer Highlights

Our school has been very activity over the summer, and we can’t wait for you to see the improvements. The school is sparkling clean, with every corner shining and ready for our students and staff to fill the halls with energy and enthusiasm. We’re also excited to share that we’re working on plans for a brand-new playground! While we’re still in the planning stages, this is going to be a fantastic addition to our school, providing a safe and fun space for our students to enjoy.

In addition to our playground plans, we’ve made an important upgrade to our school’s security with the installation of a new security vestibule. This addition ensures that RM Bacon Elementary remains a safe and secure environment for everyone. Safety continues to be our top priority, and this new feature is just one of the ways we’re working to protect our school community.
