BCE Bearmail 2/7/14

February 7, 2014
Dear BCE Families,

Rain! ~ What a delight to have some rain this week!  I hope the long weekend brings more showers for us and snow to the mountains. 


The BCE Way ~ Hopefully you have seen your student’s new BCE bracelet.  The bracelets were passed out on Wednesday and are a reminder to students to always follow the BCE Way.  Thank you for supporting the BCE Way and asking your students how they show the BCE Way at school everyday.


Three day weekend ~ Just a reminder that this is the first of two three day weekends.  There will be no school Monday as we celebrate Lincoln’s birthday.

Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school every day and on time!

 

Safety Tip of the Week:

California law states that children under 8 must be properly buckled into a car seat or booster seat in the back seat.  Children 8 or older, or those that are 4’9” may use the vehicles safety belt if it fits properly.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful three-day weekend!
