CARNIVAL INFO

Ordway Carnival is this Friday !

The time has finally come - Carnival is this Friday, June 5th at 5:00pm! This year we'll have surprise performances, new games, new food vendors, and more for everyone in the family to enjoy. We still need volunteers so please sign up at the link and keep reading for more info about wristbands, the silent auction, food tucks, and other important details.

Wristbands: Ordway students will receive their wristbands before dismissal on June 5th. We will be selling wristbands for siblings after school until 2:45pm on Wednesday, June 3rd and Thursday, June 4th. Wristbands will also be available for purchase when you arrive for Carnival on June 5th. Wristbands cover the cost of popcorn, cotton candy, pizza, face paint, and a large prize.

Join the BISD Instructional Technology Advisory Council

BISD is forming a Instructional Technology Advisory Council to help guide thoughtful conversations and recommendations around the intentional use of technology in our classrooms and schools.

This committee will bring together staff, families, and community members to explore how technology can best support teaching, learning, student well-being, and balanced classroom experiences.

If you are interested in helping shape future conversations and decisions around educational technology in BISD, we encourage you to apply and be part of this important work.

Applications are due on Friday, June 5th.
 

It’s ABC time! Register for the 2026-27 School Year

Please help us plan for next year!
 
If you know your student will not attend BISD in the fall, please let us know by contacting the Ordway office, sdunstan@bisd303.org or by sending an email to: studentrecords@bisd303.org with your educational plan so that we may adjust our records accordingly.
 
Our Annual Back to school Check-in process (ABC) is now open and is available by logging in to your Family Access account. Look in the left menu and choose: ABC 26-27 to move through the steps to complete this process ASAP.
It should take about 15 minutes (or less!) to complete the process for each child in your household.
TIPS: 
  • Use a desktop or laptop computer (if trying to use a mobile device, open up a browser and login to Family Access directly. Or, depending on your device you may be able to choose the “Desktop” version of the mobile app for this purpose).
  • Use the “View Full Screen” buttons when available.
  • Each step has a “Complete Step and Move to….” button. You must click that on each step to mark it as complete.
  • Optional steps: PTSO and Bainbridge Schools Foundation steps are there as informational only. Donations are appreciated, but NOT required!
  • IF you make a change request that needs to be approved by the district you can still Complete the Step and move on to the next step.  
  • If you think you have completed the process, but it is not showing as complete, look in the right column menu and look for the step(s) that do not have a check mark next to them. Click the link and you’ll either need to sign and date and/or merely click the “complete step” button….then Submit.
  • The LAST step – takes 2 clicks. “Complete ABC 26-27” followed by “Submit ABC 26-27”. As soon as you “Submit” you will get a notice and email that the process has been completed.
