Dear BCE Families,
Amazing Volunteers! ~ I'd like to take this opportunity to thank ALL of our BCE volunteers. I've been able to have a broader perspective this year and am so in awe and appreciative of all the work you do. Our volunteers work inside the classroom with students, you work at home supporting teachers, drive and chaperone on field trips, shop for and provide breakfast to any student who needs it, organize and support carnivals, family nights, fundraisers and the list goes on and on.
We all love BCE and our family volunteers are such an important part of our success! Thank you for all you do everyday!
To our 5th grade families, you will be missed, but your generosity will never be forgotten. The Middle School is lucky to have you join their school community.
I'd also like to thank all of our staff members who planned & organized another successful Volunteer Luncheon.
Student Author Fair ~ Please join me, and many of our staff members, tomorrow at the Capitola Mall. 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 and there is an opportunity for students to read their book aloud to the visitors. Hope to see you there!

Attendance Facts:
There is a direct correlation between good attendance in kindergarten and 1st grade and academic success in 3rd grade. Students can become at risk by missing nine days during their kindergarten and first grade years. The risk of the absences negatively impacting their achievement become high when students miss 18 or more days in each of those two years.
Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school every day and on time!
Safety Tip of the Week:
One of the best ways to help BCE keep your student safe is by providing us with current contact numbers, emergency pick-up list, and health updates as needed.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
The BCE Way: BE RESPECTFUL, BE SAFE, BE RESPONSIBLE
