Dear BCE Families,
Survey Results ~ From time to time I'll be sharing some of the results we received from the BCE Family Survey we sent out last Spring. We appreciate the information we receive from this survey and will continue to grow and develop our programs here at BCE. In response to the question, "My child receives quality instruction at BCE in Reading", 96% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed. In "Writing", 97% agreed or strongly agreed; in "Mathematics" 93%; "Visual and Performing Arts" 75%; "Physical Education" 89%; "Science" 83%; "Technology" 81%.
Parking and Traffic ~ Thank you for being patient and following the directions of our staff as they direct traffic and crosswalks. Their primary job is to keep our students safe as they arrive and depart school. Please remember that there is no parking on Laurel Street on the hill as you get closer to campus. There are actually "No Parking" signs hidden in the hedge. The roadway is too narrow to allow parking on either side.
Current Student Information ~ Thank you for updating your student's information in InfoSnap. It's important that we have up to date contact and medical information for each student.
Site Council ~ Our Site Council plays an important role at BCE. The school site council is a group of teachers, parents and classified employees that work with the principal to develop, review and evaluate school improvement programs and school budgets.
If you are interested in serving on the Site Council for the 2014-15 school year, please complete the attached application and return it to Margaret Zavaroni in our office no later than Friday September 19th.

Attendance Facts:
Attendance will continue to be an important area of focus for us this year. We were able to bring our attendance rate up slightly last year and we need to continue that hard work to ensure that all our students receive the short and long term benefits of consistent school attendance.
Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school every day and on time!
Safety Tip of the Week:
If you are waiting for a 4th or 5th grade students to be dismissed at the end of the day, please supervise any younger children that may be with you.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
The BCE Way: BE RESPECTFUL, BE SAFE, BE RESPONSIBLE
