It's Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week at Bertrand! This week, we take a moment to recognize the incredible people who make our school so special: our teachers and staff. They show up with purpose, patience, and heart everyday and go far beyond lesson plans and job descriptions by investing in our students, building relationships, and creating a school culture that feels like family. Whether it’s in the classroom, behind the scenes, or on the sidelines of activities, their impact is felt in countless ways. We are proud of the way our teachers and staff live out what it means to be a Viking: hardworking, committed, and always putting students first. They are shaping not just learners, but leaders, problem-solvers, and good people!
To our teachers and staff: THANK YOU for your dedication, your resilience, and the difference you make each and every day. Our school is stronger because of you and our students are so fortunate to have you on their side!
💙 Honor Tradition. Inspire the Future. 💙

A memorial book signing will be held tonight (Friday, May 1) for Connor Hill from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Bertrand Community Building, with the family present from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The memorial service will be held tomorrow (Saturday, May 2) at 11:00 a.m. at the Community Building.
Over the past week, our community has shown what it truly means to stand together. The outpouring of love, support, and generosity for the Hill family has been nothing short of extraordinary. Through your kindness, over $13,000 has been raised to support them during this incredibly difficult time—a reflection of the care and compassion that define this community. More than anything, this is a reminder that the Hill family is not walking through this alone. We are deeply grateful for the continued support, prayers, and presence of our Bertrand family. #VikingNation

Thank you to everyone that took the time to take the survey regarding the last day of school change. It was almost unanimous with 87 votes FOR an early out and 1 against. There have been some changes to the master calendar due to this. Please make note that the Elementary Spring Concert is now a week earlier on May 11th and the Activities Banquet is now on Monday, May 18th. The last day of school will be FRIDAY, MAY 15th with a noon dismissal. #VikingNation #GoVikings

Bertrand Parents...We are looking at shortening our school year by 2.5 days and ending on May 15th. With that, I want to be sure you have input on this decision as it will require logistical planning for daycare for some and we certainly do not want to overburden our community. Please take a minute to fill out this very short survey so we can make the decision sooner rather than later for planning purposes.
