Dear BCE Families,
Road Update ~ The road construction on Laurel is nearing completion! Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we've navigated this project together. We are expecting the road to be completed and open by the end of next week. We'll keep you posted!
Free Carbon Monoxide Alarms ~ Boulder Creek Fire District is happy to announce that they have a number of Carbon Monoxide Alarms they would like to pass along to families who are in need of one, free of charge! They have a limited number on hand; therefore this is on a first come first served basis. Please send an e-mail to pvickers@bcfd.com to get further details.
Donations Needed ~ We are in need of children's clothing in small to medium sizes. Our most significant need is for easy to pull on pants and leggings. We are also in need of small to medium underwear. We have children coming in to the office who need a change due to an accident or a slip in the mud. It is a much less embarrassing situation for our students if we can provide them with replacement clothes that fit them. Thank you for your generosity.
Playground Closed ~ Just a reminder that our playgrounds are closed until 8:10 am when a staff member arrives to supervise students. Students arriving before 8:10 may wait in the office or join students for breakfast in the MP. Unfortunately, we cannot have parents supervising students without a staff member being present. Thank you for your understanding and help in keeping all our kids safe.
GATE Parent Meeting ~ Please click here to see a flyer containing information about Monday's GATE Parent Advisory meeting.
Halloween Costumes ~ As Halloween approaches I know many students are 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.

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."
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.
Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school every day and on time!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
The BCE Way: BE RESPECTFUL, BE SAFE, BE RESPONSIBLE
