Dear BCE Families,
One of the three components of the BCE Way is safety and that has been a high priority for us here at BCE. Last week all the students participated in bus safety training and this week was all about fire safety! We want to thank our bus drivers and Valley fire departments for their time and support in help keep all our students safe.
The YMCA is partnering with us to offer a Mileage Club for our students. Starting today students in grades 1-3 will have the opportunity to participate during their lunch recess on Mondays and Fridays. Students will be able to walk or run as much or little as they like and can earn "toe tokens" for every 5 miles they complete.
Hot Lunch? You can now prepay and check the balance of your student's lunch card online! You can access the prepayment page on our BCE website by clicking on the Lunch Menu icon.
Attendance = As you may know we are committed to increasing our attendance this year. Last month 39 of our students missed at least one day of school. That is a lot of important missed instructional time for our students. The Santa Cruz Sentinel published an interesting article on the subject.
Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school every day and on time!
Safety Tip of the Week: Please do not park in the yellow drop-off zone on Harmon Street. It creates an unsafe situation for our students by forcing them to walk in front of cars.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and I hope to see many of you at the Ice Cream Social tonight!
