Sixth and Seventh grade got to spend the day at the tide pools at Camp Keep. Everyone is having a great time!








It's always a pleasure to have the folks from @StemTaught on the BW campus. They bring great enthusiasm for students and the thrill of learning science. Today we focused on ocean animals and their habitat. #1townschoolcommunity @MissDPayne2 @SmallSchoolDA @nrea1 @miroyscience





TY @MissDPayne2 for discussing the challenges and the high points of our school. You have always been valuable to our school community. TY @CalMatters for recognizing the challenges that exist are not urban only issues. These issues are rural also https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2023/05/high-poverty-schools/

Our 8th Grade On Track Team was in Sacramento on Wednesday. This team finished 5 years of connections with districts around the state and focused our instructional strategies to prepare our students for success in high school. @General_Pride @caedpartners @SmallSchoolDA @nrea1


#Roadster made it to see House Peaker Kevin McCarthy's staff and into the USCapitol #1townschoolcommunity




It's time for the annual Buttonwillow Parent Survey



Great performance the BW track team in Bakerdfield. Lots of medels and lot's of fun. The announcer stated that "Buttonwillow dominated the jumping events." @smallschoolda @nrea1 #1townschoolcommunity





Busy day at Buttonwillow School: Egg Drop, Open House, and After School Programs Showcase.










BW 8th graders visited @UCLA today. They were given a tour and had a special opportunity to visit one of our graduates who is attending UCLA. Great to see our current students with a former Roadrunner. @SmallSchoolDA @nrea1 @KCSOS @AVID4College

In a desire to find the best method to continually improve parent, district, staff, and community communication, members of the BW staff met to decide the most important attributes. Parent, staff and district input was recorded. @smallschoolda #1townschoolcommunity



A wonderful night in BW. Sixth and seventh grade students, along with parents learned about what is expected @ Camp KEEP. Students head to the Central Coast in about 4 weeks. #1townschoolcommunity @kcsos @SmallSchoolDA


Great night to have our 8th graders & their parents on campus to hear about registration options for Shafter HS. Prepping for registration! Former students returned to BW to share about @General_Pride. Sudents won Shafter gear. @caedpartners @AdmmomH @ClaraYanez2 @Missturm #8OT




Traditional Staff vs. 8th Grade basketball game. This year featured the staff wearing t-shirts from the men's and women's brackets. Classroom doors were decorated as well. Schools were researched. #1townschoolcommunity @avid4college @smallschoolda @nrea1 @MarchMadnessMBB





We are very proud of our relationship with @UCSF and the work we are doing in a pilot study to determine proper assessments and interventions for our young students. #1townschoolcommunity @SmallSchoolDA @CAgovernor @TonyThurmond @acsa_info @ACSARegion_11 @CalSPRA @BobWise48




Great reward trip for our TK-8th graders as they visited CALM today. A day at the living museum observing animals. #1townschoolcommunity @smallschoolda @kcsos





Staff and families working together to determine priorities for our school. LCAP Taco Night was a success. Parents shared their thoughts and then staff provided dinner by prepping, cooking, and serving our families. #onetownschoolcommunity @smallschoolda @nrea1 @acsa_info
