Dear BCE Families,
Halloween - There are a few guidelines regarding costumes. Costumes should be in good taste and safely constructed so that they do not interfere with regular class activities. Gruesome costumes and bloody, fake wounds are not appropriate for an elementary school. Weapons (including fakes), skateboards and roller blades are not allowed as part of costumes. If you are unsure, please contact your child's teacher or the office before purchasing the costume. The Halloween Parade is slated for Thursday, October 30th at 9:00 am on the upper playground.
No School – Just a reminder that there is no school for our students on Friday October 31st. It is a teacher workday and our staff will be trained in new and exciting curriculum practices
Family Conferences ~ Family Conferences are just around the corner. Please return the sign up sheets to your student's teacher as soon as possible. Our staff works very hard to arrange conference time that work for everyone. The sooner you return your preferences to your teacher, the higher the likelihood that you will get one of your preferred times.
College Awareness Week ~ The San Lorenzo Valley Board of Trustees has proclaimed the week of October 27 – November 3, 2014 as College Awareness Week. We hope to promote a college going culture for our students and families and by doing that support our BCE Bears to pursue and achieve their dreams.
