Good evening Bluewater Parents - We have kicked off our FundRays Savings Book sale and will be collecting money through Tuesday, February 19. Every student who sells 15 or more books will go on a limo ride to lunch. Top 3 sellers win a cash prize. Money raised will support the PTO in their efforts to purchase technology for our classrooms. As always, thank for your support of Bluewater Elementary.

We’re part of the OCSD paperless report card pilot. This means your student will NOT receive a printed paper report card. You can access your child's grades online via the Parent Portal using his/her student number. The pdf file is now ready online. Click on the Parent Portal.

Yearbooks are being sold online, starting on January 8th until March 30th.  Don’t miss out on this creative, hard-cover, 144 page, full-color memory of your child’s year at Bluewater Elementary.  In order to ensure that your child receives a yearbook, act now and reserve one today.  The cost is $28 plus the online convenience fee of 3.5%.  All orders will be completed ONLINE ONLY www.myschoolbucks.com.
