Dear BCE Families,
Reminder ~ There is no school on Monday, September 5th in recognition of Labor Day. Enjoy your 3-day weekend!
Back to School Night ~ Please join us on Tuesday evening for our annual Back to School Night. Remember this is an adult only evening.
6:00 – 6:30 = Grades 3, 4, 5 & SDC
6:40 - 6:55 = Welcome Families (Multi Purpose Room)
7:00 – 7:30 = Grades TK, K, 1 & 2
Your students' amazing teachers are working hard to create an informative presentation for you. I hope to see you all there!
Shout Outs ~ Your student may have come home with a blue "Shout Out" notice or they may have told you about them. Shout Outs recognize students who are living the BCE Way and demonstrating kindness, compassion, empathy, etc. A staff member or classmate completes the information on the Shout Out form and then shares these positive examples with fellow students. Starting next Friday we'll have our first Shout Out Friday, where I announce some of the examples of excellence that have we've seen on our campus.
Transitional Kindergarten ~ As you may already know, we are fortunate to have our first Transitional Kindergarten (TK) class here at BCE. Because TK is a relatively new opportunity we have put together an information sheet about the TK program and to provide some answers to questions you may have. Please click here for more information.
Parent Club ~ Our September Parent Club Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 17 in the MP room at 6:30 pm. All BCE parents and guardians are automatic members. Free babysitting will be provided.
Site Council ~ If you are interested in serving on the Site Council for the 2016-17 school year, please complete the attached application by clicking here and return it to Margaret Zavaroni in our office no later than Friday September 23. Our Site Council provides a very important function for our school. The BCE Site Council is charged with helping to develop, recommend, and annually review the Single Site Plan for Student Achievement. Additionally, the Site Council meets to provide ongoing informational and educational process directed towards parents and other interested persons about current school programs. Thank you for your consideration on joining this special group.
Watch Phones ~ In keeping with our technology policy, students are not allowed to wear watches in class that also act as phones or communication devices. If your student does own such a device it must remain in their backpack, in silent mode, throughout the school day. For more information, please click here to read our Cell Phone & Electronic Devices permission slip which gives information about our policy.
Safety ~ We have a large number of students arriving before 8 am. There is no on-campus supervision until 8:10 am. For their safety, please do not drop children off before 8:10 am.

Did you know???
Thank you so much for getting your students to school, on time, every day! There is a high correlation between student achievement and attendance. Last year almost 20% of our students were absent for ten or more days and approximately 35% of our students were tardy ten or more days. Additionally, we have many students who lose important instructional time when they leave school early. As you can see this quickly adds up to a lot of missed instructional time. Good attendance is important for your student's success.
Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school and being on time every day!
Have a great 3-day weekend!
The BCE Way: BE RESPECTFUL, BE SAFE, BE RESPONSIBLE
