BCE Bearmail 4/25/14

April 18, 2014

 

Dear BCE Families,

 

I hope you can join me! ~ I'll be helping out this Sunday for our annual Campus Beautification Day.  The fun starts at 8:30 am and we'll work until noon, hope to see you on Sunday!

 

Robin Hood ~ Mr. Carson's 5th grade class delighted us with a production of Robin Hood this week.  The students were well rehearsed and very professional.  I love seeing the talent and creativity of our BCE family!

 

Student Author Fair ~ Next Saturday, May 3rd, many classes at BCE will be participating in the Student Author Fair at Capitola Mall.   Student books will be on display from 10:00 – 4:30.

 

2014 Incoming 6th Grade Parent Night

Tuesday, May 13, 6:00 pm

Incoming Sixth-Grade Parent Night will be held on Tuesday, May 13 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the Middle School Gym. 

Parents of current Fifth-Grade students are invited to come for an informative presentation on the SLVMS Sixth-Grade program and school-wide opportunities for students.

 

Up Coming Dates to Remember

  • Sunday 4/27 = Campus Beautification
  • Thursday 5/8 = Parent Club Meeting
  • 5/12 – 5/16 = BCE Book Fair
  • Wednesday 5/14 – BCE Open House & Art Show
  • Saturday 5/17 = BCE Carnival & Silent Auction
  • Wednesday 6/11 = NO Early Out, regular dismissal time
  • Thursday 6/12 = Last Day of school (12:15 Dismissal for grades 1 – 5)

Attendance Facts:

I know it sounds like a no-brainer, but if you consistently find yourself running five to ten minutes late every day, start your morning routine 15 minutes earlier.  You'll be modeling for your students the power of making small changes that will lead to positive outcomes.

 

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

 

Safety Tip of the Week:

Unless you have a handicap placard, please do not drive on campus to drop off or pick up students. Thank you for keeping our students and staff members safe!

 

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
