Dear BCE Families,
THE CARNIVAL IS COMING! THE CARNIVAL IS HERE! ~ The weather should be great tomorrow and I plan on spending the day at our Carnival and Silent Auction! I hope you are able to join me at this fun family event.
Family Surveys ~ Please complete our family survey by clicking on the following link. The information we get from them is very important and allows us to refine what we do to better support our students and their families. Thank You!

Band Festival ~ Don't miss our 6th Annual All-District Band Festival in the SLVHS Gym on May 19th at 7pm. This is a great chance to hear from all of the school bands in our district. Why don't we host this event in our new theater? Well, it's because there will be 140+/- students performing in the finale (that's a record for us and you won't want to miss it)! Come early and support SLV Music Boosters by purchasing a hot dog dinner for $5 from 6-6:45 pm.
Hope to see you there! Please see attached flyer.
California State Testing ~ Most of our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students are half way through their online state testing. Please help your student do their best work by having a healthy breakfast with some protein and make sure they get a good night's sleep.
Upcoming Dates to Remember
- 5/11 – 5/22 = 3rd – 5th grade California State Testing
- Saturday 5/16 = BCE Carnival
- Thursday 5/21 = Family Dinner Night, Taqueria Los Amigos
- Monday 5/25 = No School (Memorial Day)

Attendance Facts:
Missing classes in elementary school sets the stage for problems later. If students are absent or tardy it is often difficult for them to stay at grade level. Students who don't read at grade level by the end of third grade are four times more likely to become high school dropouts.
Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school every day and on time!
Safety Tip of the Week:
As the long hot days of summer approach, please encourage your students to stay hydrated and wear sunscreen. Just a reminder that while hats can't be worn in class, we encourage our students to wear hats as sun protection when they are outside.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
The BCE Way: BE RESPECTFUL, BE SAFE, BE RESPONSIBLE
