BCE Bearmail 9/26/14

September 26, 2014

 

Dear BCE Families,

 

Hope to See You! ~ I hope to see many of you at the Ice Cream Social next Friday (5-7pm).  This is always a fun event and a good way to touch base with friends and our BCE community.  Remember the first scoop is free for BCE students!

 

Thank You ~ Many thanks to all of you who came down to SLE on Monday evening for our CGI Parent Night. There were more than fifty parents in attendance for the evening that included a lot of good information, activities, and thoughtful questions.  Your support of your student's education is invaluable!

 

College & Career Readiness ~ As I mentioned at Back to School Night, one of the goals we have as a School District is to make sure all our students are college and career ready. At BCE we want to support our students to be ready for any future they can dream of!  They don't need to decide in 2nd grade what college they want to go to or what career path they want to follow, but when the time comes we want them to be prepared academically and socially to pursue their goals.

 

Helping Children ~ Please click on the "Links" tab at the top of the BCE website and click on the "Helping Children Newsletter" This informative newsletter is sponsored by our Parent Club and each moth provides new and interesting articles as well as advice to families with young children. 

 

Up Coming Dates to Remember

  • Friday 10/3 = Ice Cream Social, 5pm – 7pm
  • Friday 10/17 = Walk-Jog-athon
  • Thursday 10/30 = BCE Halloween Parade
  • Friday 10/31 = No School (Teacher Work Day)

Attendance Facts:

Just a reminder that our attendance line is available 24 hours a day.  Please call 338-2887 anytime of the day or night if your student is ill and will be absent from school.  A call needs to be made to BCE each day the student is absent, even if they are consecutive.  THANK YOU!

 

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

 

Safety Tip of the Week:

Please model the BCE Way for your students by walking around the front parking lot rather than through it.  With our limited space and cars needing to access Disabled Parking at the front of the school, we are working hard to keep all students safe by reminding them to never cut through the parking lot.  Thank you for helping keep all our students' safe.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

 

The BCE Way:  BE RESPECTFUL, BE SAFE, BE RESPONSIBLE


BCE PARENTS CLUB EVENT & MEETING REMINDERS:
 
Drive For Schools
Was that you in the parking lot with a new car? It could be! All you have to do is support your school by purchasing some Drive For School tickets and crossing your fingers. $25,000 could be waiting for you, but more importantly our school needs this fundraiser to help benefit the programs and tools we have come to expect for our children. Please support this fundraiser by turning in your ticket order form or visiting us at the Harvest Festival this Saturday. Meet us at our booth for some tickets and a Popsicle between 11am and 6pm.
 
Ice Cream Social
Next Friday, October 3rd will be the famous and beloved Ice Cream Social from 5pm to 7pm. 5th graders will be serving ice cream to you and all of your favorite community members while you all enjoy each other's company. Children play, adults connect. It doesn't get any better. The first student scoop is free and additional scoops and non-student scoops are 50¢. Please join us for the social event of the season. It won't be the same without you!
