Bunker R-III School District

Last week we were able to honor the hard work of our elementary Eagles for their academic efforts during 2nd Quarter. Students receiving A’s and B’s on their 2nd Quarter report card received Honor Roll certificates. Students receiving all A’s received Principal’s Honor Roll certificates. Teachers honored 1 student from their class for each of the Eagle of Excellence Award and Most Improved Award for 2nd Quarter. Keep up the awesome job kiddos!! You are ready to rock 3rd Quarter! 💚🦅💚 A big shout out to our cafeteria ladies for the kool-aide and Rice Krispy treats for our honor roll and principal’s honor roll students during lunch! Also, special thanks to Pizza Inn of Salem for pizza certificates to our 2nd Quarter award winners!

Congratulations to our Junior Varsity & Varsity Eagles for both bringing home the 3rd place trophy of the Black River League Tournament today. Way to Go Eagles.

Congrats to Bethany Nelson for being accepted into Southwest Baptist University. Go do big things!! #EaglePride

Bunker School will be releasing at 12:15 pm today (Wednesday, January 19, 2022) due to incoming weather.

There will be no school board meeting tonight. We will make a post once the new date is scheduled.

There will be no school for Bunker tomorrow, Tuesday, January 18, 2022 due to slick backroads. There are multiple locations that need one more day of melting and we would much rather be safe than sorry. Thank you for understanding that the safety of our students come first. Eagles - please make sure that you complete Snow Day packet #4.

No school tomorrow, Monday, January 16, 2022 for Bunker due to slick secondary roads. Students are to complete Snow Packet Day #3 and return to school on Tuesday for credit.

The sickness among our students is rampant right now. We currently have more positive COVID student cases then we have ever had since this pandemic started, a few students being tested today, even more kids with symptoms, and an abundance that have been exposed and are required to wear a mask. The decision to cancel school has been made for tomorrow (January 13th) and Friday (January 14th) in hopes that an extended weekend will allow our kiddos to rest and heal. We will be required to make these days up at a later time (when we are healthier). Snow day packets will NOT be utilized. Please pray for the health of all of our Eagles. There are many that could use them.

At this time, we are experiencing an increased amount of positive COVID cases among students and many others have symptoms such as coughing, headache, extreme tiredness, sinus issues, etc. If your child is sick, PLEASE keep them home and away from others. We will work with you and them on school make-up work. PLEASE HELP US GET BACK TO HEALTHY and contact the school and Ms Nash if you have any questions at all.

Tonight’s home games (girls and boys) are cancelled. Senior night will be rescheduled at a later date.

No school tomorrow, Friday, January 7th for Bunker School District. Remember snow day #1 & day #2 work will be due Monday. You will receive zeros if you do not return this work on Monday. Enjoy your weekend and stay warm Eagles.

Bunker School will not be in session today, Thursday, January 6, 2022 due to incoming weather. Snow is expected to negatively impact road conditions during our morning pick-up times. Snow Packet Day #1 work will be due tomorrow.

We have recently been made aware of rumors circulating regarding a social media post. There is NO direct threat to Bunker School. The social media (Tik-Tok) post circulating Wednesday was not found to be specific to any school. As always, the safety of our students and staff is always a top priority. Our administrative team will remain in contact with local law enforcement to ensure the safety of our students and staff. As a reminder, threats of any kind are turned over to law enforcement for investigation and may result in serious consequences. Parents and guardians, we ask you to stay vigilant toward your child’s online activities. Please encourage students to say something if they see something of concern. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Melissa Nash, Superintendent.
