If your child is in 6th grade and have updated their shots, please bring a copy to our office and we will update their records here for you. Safety FirstStudents, if you ride your bike to school, please walk your bike on the sidewalk if there are many cars driving on the street. We want you to be safe as you come to school each day. DeliveriesIn the interest of preserving instructional time, we do not interrupt classes for deliveries or messages during class. However, we realize that there are times that parents need to get a missing class assignment or lunch to their children.
We have a plan for lunches already; our campus monitors take the lunch to the cafeteria and deliver them to the students at lunch time.
For those other items (homework, backpacks, etc.) that you would appreciate being delivered to your child, we will place the item in your child’s teacher’s mailbox for them to pick up at recess or lunch.
Thank you for your understanding and helping us to make sure that instruction can go on uninterrupted during the day here at Bunker. Contact BunkerBunker School Phone NumbersMain Office510-818-3100Attendance Line510-818-3150Login

Principal’s Message
Dear Bunker Families~
I think most of you have heard about the path that led to my decision to become a teacher: I was simply an active parent at Jesse and Brock’s school. First, I volunteered to act as a PTA Room Parent, next as a School Site Council parent representative, and finally as a school Program Coordinator for an on-site research program known as the Child Development Project. In each of those roles, I learned so much about my sons’ school, but also a lot about my passion for making a difference, a passion that led to my re-enrolling in college and completing the courses and credential needed to teach. The rest is history…J Personal history, but history nonetheless.
I often reflect on our school’s “history” of being seen as outstanding. It’s the dedicated staff, our PTC executive board, hard-working parents, and the volunteers that continue to bring praise and recognition to our school. These are the people behind our reputation and success. In fact, many of our school programs, volunteers, and staff are seen as models for other schools. And it is always with pride that we share with others the outstanding people and events that we have here at Bunker. Visitors often share with us how impressed they are with our school’s atmosphere and “feel”, the warm, supportive learning environment, and our students’ joy for learning that is obviously prevalent throughout our classrooms.
As we begin to ready ourselves for the “last days of this school year” it’s important that we take the time to thank our wonderful staff and parents with activities such as Teacher Appreciation Week and Bunker’s Volunteer Tea. Additionally, we celebrate the honor being given to Mrs. Pam Abbott, second grade teacher, who is being celebrated as our school’s Teacher of the Year, and Mrs. Jodi Croce, our Library Clerk, who was chosen as our school’s Classified Employee of the Year. Additionally, many of our sixth grade students will be honored for their leadership, academics, and commitment to our school and its values at our 6th grade’s promotion ceremony on Wednesday, June 6.
Thank each and every one of you for what you have done to make Bunker the extraordinary school that it is!
Michele Brynjulson Principal
Come to Bunker’s Coffee with the Principal Friday, May 4, 8:30-9:30 a.m. in Bunker’s Library We’ll be talking about our Single Plan for Student Achievement (also known as our Site Plan), as well as talking about topics that you bring to this meeting here at Bunker.
Newark Junior High School Parent Night Incoming 7th grade parents are invited to attend Newark Junior High School’s Parent Night on Thursday, May 17th. An English-only presentation will run from 7:00 – 7:45 pm, and a Spanish speaking presentation will take place that evening from 8:00 – 8:45 pm.
Open House and Music for Minors
Our plans for Open House on Thursday May 24 are being made to include some fun before you walk through our classroom doors. After a 5:30 pm BBQ fundraiser for our 5th graders (for Science Camp funding), our first and second graders will be singing their Music for Minors tunes for an audience in the multi-use room from 6-6:30 pm. After seeing this special performance, we are hoping some of our musically-inclined parents will consider signing up to be trained as Music for Minor docents this fall at Ohlone College. Details will be available in the Cafeteria that evening. ‘See you there!
Bunker Site Council Our April Site Council meeting was held on Monday, April 16 from 3-4 pm in the library. Agenda items included discussions about our SSC Site Plan and Bunker’s Classroom Parties policy (also known as “food policy”), which can be found on page 18 of our Bunker Handbook. A lively chat was held which included feedback from both parents and teachers. An updated version of that policy will be found in our school’s ’12-’13 Handbook. Our next meeting will be held on Monday, May 21 where our agenda will focus on our Single Plan for Student Achievement, also known as our Site Plan. The public is welcome to attend our meetings which are typically held the third Monday of the month in the school library from 3-4 pm.
Before-School Breakfast Has Come to Bunker Our Child Nutrition Service is now serving morning breakfast to our students. Students can come into the cafeteria at 7:30 a.m., eat their breakfast, and be released to go onto the playground at 8 a.m. This same breakfast will also be served again at our students’ first recess. This service will continue until the end of this school year when we will evaluate whether we have had the necessary number of students (35-40 daily) in order to continue this program into the 2012-2013 school year. Prices for breakfast will continue to be $1.20. Please contact our school office at 510-818-3100 for questions about this new service.
Mark Your Calendars! Bunker Beautification Day Saturday, May 12, 9 am-1 pm
Our school’s annual Beautification Day is being held Saturday, May 12 from 9 am-1 pm. Garden equipment, soil and drought-tolerant plants will be at school that morning, but feel free to bring your own shovels, rakes, garden gloves and wheelbarrows from home if you’d like to use those. This annual event makes everyone feel a proud of the contribution they have made to make our school look lovely for the spring.
Congratulations! Hearty congratulations go out to Bunker’s Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Pam Abbott, and Bunker’s Classified Employee of the Year, Library Clerk, Mrs. Jodi Croce. These representatives will be competing at the district level for the employee of the year in their job classification. In our minds, however, they are the best!
