Brayden Matthew

I'm sure you've heard by now, but little Brayden joined our family September 7 at 7:05 a.m. He is absolutely perfect! Mommy and Daddy can't get enough of him. 

I cannot wait to introduce him to all the students soon!! 

Important Arrival and Dismissal Changes!

One of the biggest changes for the upcoming school year will be our Safe and Secure Entrance procedures.  Any visitor coming after 9:00 a.m. will need to be “buzzed” into the office by Mrs. Opple.  If she is not immediately at her desk, the visitor will need to wait a moment until she returns.

The end of the day will also look very different.  Students riding the bus will exit our front door. All students being picked up will exit the South door and wait with a classroom teacher until the adult picking the student up comes to walk them to their vehicle.  Parents will not enter the building at the end of the day to wait for students.  We are instituting this procedure to ensure the safety of our students in the parking lot.  There will be several classroom teachers present with students as they wait.  If you, or a care giver, pick up a student, please use extreme caution as you drive in the parking lot.

Meet Mrs. Dombrowski

Hello, fourth graders. My name is Mrs. Dombrowski. I am filling in for Mrs. Vanderbur while she is on maternity leave. I am so exited to be your teacher starting this September. I anticipate a great year ahead for you.  I would like to tell you a little bit about myself.

I graduated from Western Michigan University many years ago with a Bachelor of Science degree. I also have a Masters of Arts in elementary education. After graduating from Western I became a third grade teacher for Hudsonville Public Schools. I started working here at Bauer in 1990. When I began teaching, Bauer was a very small country school. There was one classroom per grade level.  My classroom was where the music room is now. After a year in third grade, I moved to fourth grade and then fifth. I settled back into fourth grade after that and taught it for the rest of my career. (My room was Mrs. Kopka's room.)  In 2001, I resigned from teaching to spend more time with my family. I spent eleven wonderful years at Bauer and I am looking forward to coming back this fall.

Science is one of my favorite subjects to teach. I also love reading and writing, something I do as a hobby. In my free time I work in my vegetable garden or take quiet walks in the park with my dog, Gracie. Gracie is a shitzu Maltese mix and she is absolutely adorable. I also have two rescue cats, Sam and Helga. If the name Helga makes you think of someone very large, you would be correct. Helga is our very fat kitty. She is so fat she has a difficult time jumping up on furniture. We currently have her on a diet in hopes that she will be able to do the things that cats do best. Sam is our tiny cat that rules all the animals in our home. She is the alpha female and even Gracie takes orders from her.

I live in Jenison with my husband of 24 years and our two sons, Alex (20) and Andrew (16). I home schooled our boys for six years. Now, Alex is working and Andrew goes to high school at the West Michigan Aviation Academy where he will learn how to fly planes by the time he graduates. Next year he will begin his training as a pilot by going to ground school. This is a requirement before he begins the actual flying courses.

I hope you all have a great summer. I look forward to meeting everyone one of you in the fall. I am so excited to be back at Bauer where I feel so at home.

A great year!

Thank you all for a fabulous year. I enjoyed getting to know your child and watching them grow! It means so much to have such support and love from parents. I wish you all a very fun, safe, and relaxing summer!
