Trailblazer Math
Registration Information
2019-2020
What is Trailblazer Math?
Trailblazer Math is a Mathematical practice program that is sponsored by the BES PTA. It is designed to help teach responsibility and commitment and have fun practicing math. Different than last year, students will be assigned two to three sheets, once a month. The sheets will be due the following month, and every sheet has the due date listed. The program will last from September, 2019 through March, 2020. We will host our celebration in April this school year.
Similar to last year, each grade will be color-coded. (Kinder – Orange, First – Red, Second – Yellow, Third – Blue and Fourth – Green). Please have your child turn in his/her completed math sheet into the colored boxes, matching the grade level. The boxes are located in the main hallway just outside of the school’s office.
A registration sheet needs to be completed per child participating. These registration forms can be turned into his/or her teacher or placed in the Trailblazer Math box. Please make sure the form is legible with complete email address and phone numbers.
Please see the point distribution below.

Are There Awesome Rewards? YES!
This Year’s Reward breakdown is a little different from last year. There are three “steps” to the awards. Please see the information below.
• 140 Pts. → Personal Star on the Wall of Fame & Surprise
• 220 Pts. → Math Bag Tag or spirit stick (TBD)
• 325+ Pts. AND Turning in ALL 18 sheets → Ice-cream Social with Mrs. McGee
PLUS, Grand Prize reward. (TBD)
Monthly Drawings – all scholars that have completed the monthly TBM worksheets will be entered into a drawing. Four students from each grade will be drawn for a prize. Prizes may be t-shirts, spirit sticks and etc.
Class Competitions - this year the class, one per grade level, with the most class participation at the end of the year, will receive a “Popsicle Party”.
How Does It Work? Each month, starting September 27, 2019, students will be either emailed a copy of the TBM sheets, or they can pick up a hard copy in main hallway outside of the school’s office.
Missing Sheets: If your child missed a TBM sheet because of illness, please email me at the address below. I will email you a copy of the missing sheet. There is no penalty for late sheets this school year, but your child will not participate in that month’s drawing.
Grading Disagreements: If you feel an error has been made in the grading of your student’s worksheet, please let me know. I would be glad to review the grade against the grade sheet key. If there is a discrepancy, I will definitely adjust the grade as needed.
What If We Still Have Questions?
Please Contact: Amanda Riffel via email: trailblazermath@gmail.com
Participation in Trailblazer Math is not required or counted in any way for actual curriculum homework. All sheets need to be turned in no later than March 20, 2020.
We are looking forward to another great year of Trailblazer Math at Bluebonnet.
Sincerely, Amanda Riffel TBM PTA Chair
