BCE Bearmail 3/20/15

March 20, 2015

 

Dear BCE Families,

 

Math Madness ~ Please join me, and many of our wonderful BCE families, for an evening of fun and math.  The fun begins at 6:30 pm.   Hope to see you there!

If you missed the opportunity to purchase a shirt, a limited number of youth size t-shirts will be available for purchase tonight.

Spirit Day ~ Our BCE Student Leadership team has decided to have a Spirit Day next Friday the 27^th.  The theme will be College Shirt and Hat Day.  Students are encouraged to wear any college related shirts or hats that they have.  Studies have shown that early exposure to the idea of attending college encourages students to prepare for post high school education.

Spring Break ~ I want to make sure you are all aware of our Spring Break schedule this year.  Spring Break runs from Monday March 30^th through Monday April 6^th.  That means students will not return to class until Tuesday April 7^th.

Lost and Found ~ Our Lost & Found area is overflowing with jacket, sweaters, lunch boxes, shirts, hats, sweatshirts, etc.  Please come by and take a look.  Any items left when we leave for Spring Break will be donated to a local charity.

English Learner Parent meeting  ~ Please save the date for a DELAC (District English Learner Advisory Committee) meeting on March 25th from 6-7 at Mountain Community Resources in Felton. All parents of English Learners, who are interested in networking and giving input about district services, are invited. There will be refreshments served, and babysitting will be provided.

 

Reunión de padres de Aprendices de Inglés ~ Por favor, la fecha para una reunión DELAC (Comité Asesor de Estudiantes de Inglés del Distrito) el 25 de marzo de 6-7 en Montaña Recursos Comunitarios en Felton. Todos los padres de los estudiantes de inglés, que están interesados en la creación de redes y dando entrada sobre los servicios del distrito, están invitados. Habrá refrigerios servidos, y se proporcionará servicio de niñera.

Attendance Facts:

Your commitment to school attendance will also send a message to your child that education is a priority for your family, going to school every day is a critical part of educational success, and that it's important to take your responsibilities seriously, including going to school.

 

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

 

Safety Tip of the Week:

As the temperatures warm up and footwear styles change, please help your student remember to wear appropriate shoes on their PE days.

Here is the next installment of info on the 1:1 Initiative

1:1 BYOD initiative

As we move forward with our 1:1 BYOD initiative, the district is planning parent nights to inform parents of plans and answer any questions that may come up. The high school will have a parent night, along with a separate parent night for the middle school. These nights will take place in April, and the dates will be sent out by next Friday. In addition, the district office staff will be present at all of the school Open House events (including the elementary schools). Again, staff will share information and address any questions and concerns. Please mark your calendars for the school Open House nights, and stay tuned for the secondary parent meeting dates in April.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

BCE Carnival – Our annual carnival and silent auction is on Saturday, May 16th from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm.  This is the event that every BCE student looks forward to the whole year!  The extravaganza includes a huge variety of festivities for all to enjoy.  All parents are needed to make this a special experience for their child so we need you to commit to helping out with this event.  Please sign up for an event outside your teacher's door or email Tammy Schultz @ bcepc.execs@gmail.com.  Thank you all for your support with this important fundraiser.

 

Yearbook - The yearbook is now on sale for $20.  Look for the form that went home this week.  The deadline to order is April 30^th, but you won't want to wait, as they tend to sell out quickly.  It's not too late to share your photos with our yearbook staff. Email them to bouldercreekyearbook@gmail.com.  Please include the name of the event in your email.  Thanks a ton!!

 

Officers & Committee Chairs Needed – Many hands make light work!  We need your hands.  In order for us to provide the many programs, benefits, and, events to our BCE community that we do - we need wo/manpower.  We will definitely need 2 treasurers, a co-secretary, and a co-vice president for next year, but all positions will be up for election in May.  If there is an event or program that you and your family really enjoy, please consider being a committee chair.  All past information for any program you consider will be available to you to help you in your venture as well as a team of committed parents to back you up.
