Dear BCE Families,
Fire Prevention Week ~ We just finished up Fire Prevention Week here at BCE. We want to extend our thanks to the Valley Fire Departments who help keep us safe. Please ask your student what they learned this week and how it will help keep them safe in case of an emergency.
Halloween Costumes ~ It's October and I know many students are already planning their Halloween costumes. 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
Lost & Found ~ Our lost and found pile continues to grow. We have a large amount of sweaters, and jackets that have accumulated over the past 6 weeks. As the weather begins to get cooler (I'm sure it will someday!) your students will need those extra layers. Please come by and take a look.
Don't forget to put your student's name inside on the inside collar of the garment. This will help us return the item to your student should it be left on the playground. Thank You!
College & Career Week ~ October 26th – 30th
BCE will be participating with the rest of SLVUSD in recognizing College & Career Week. It is important that as an elementary school we begin to prepare students to attend college or other post-secondary educational programs. Most of the jobs that our students will have as adults will require additional education past high school. We want our BCE Bears to be prepared to succeed in any future they can dream of!

Quote of the Week (Responsibility):
"The indispensable first step to getting the things that you want out of life is this: decide what you want."
Ben Stein
Did you know???
If your student is 10 minutes late for school every day, by the end of the school year they will be missing between 5 (grades 4 & 5) and 9 (kindergarten) days of important academic instruction.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
The BCE Way: BE RESPECTFUL, BE SAFE, BE RESPONSIBLE
