Dear BCE Families,
THANK YOU ~ Thank you all for your generous donations to the Gift Shift and the Canned Food Drive! What a great example of kindness and compassion you are for our students. I had a delightful morning of bringing students to the Gift Shift. The smiles on their faces and the joy they had when they left with gifts for loved ones are truly the spirit of the holiday!
Stormy Weather ~ We made it through this past batch of rough weather and know more will be on the way soon. Please make sure we have current contact information for you as well as a complete list of emergency contacts - email Heather Chinello (hchinello@slvusd.org) with updates. With the possibility of road closures please consider having an emergency contact on both the north and south side of BCE. While your students will be safe here at school, we know they'll be more comfortable with a friend or family member.
PLEASE note that Winter Break this year runs from December 22nd through January 5th. That means that school will not resume until Tuesday January 6th.

Attendance Facts = Missing 2 weeks of class time each year in primary school means a total of 14 weeks teaching time missed— this could have a real impact on basic literacy and math skills.
Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school every day and on time!
Safety Tip of the Week: Please be aware of the bus zones and help us keep the lanes open for the safety of our students and to allow the busses to arrive and leave on time
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
The BCE Way: BE RESPECTFUL, BE SAFE, BE RESPONSIBLE
