Dear BCE Families,
No School! ~ Just a reminder that there is no school tomorrow. It is Veterans' Day and we will be honoring all of the men and women who have served our country. We thank them for their service.
Tonight is Family Science Night ~ Please join us tonight at 6:30 pm in our Multi-Purpose room. The San Jose Children's Discovery Museum will be coming to BCE. The theme of tonight's science night is Super Powers! These fun interactive experiments and exhibits will bring out your inner Super Hero!
Many thanks to our wonderful Parent Club for hosting this event and providing our families with this terrific opportunity.
Important Information ~ Just a reminder that Family Conferences are next week and we will be on a minimum day schedule. Kindergarten will be dismissed at 11:50, 1st – 3rd will be dismissed at 12:10 and 4th and 5th graders will be dismissed at 12:15.
Once again our Thanksgiving Break is a week long. There will be no school the week of November 21 – 25.
New Drop Off Area ~ IMPORTANT REMINDER, please remember that the new drop off area on Laurel is not a place to park your car. This drop off area is intended to be a place to drop off your student in a safe place while you stay in the car and drive off after they exit the vehicle.
BCE Book Fair ~ The Book Fair will take place in our library from 8 am to 5 pm next week during Family Conferences. Our book fairs are the only source of funding available to our library and all profits go to purchase new books and library equipment for BCE students. When you're visiting campus for your student's conference, consider stopping by for a look and perhaps even some holiday shopping!
BCE Spiritwear Is Back! ~ Our Parent Club is excited to be offering Spiritwear again! Order forms will go out in the next day or two and are due Friday November 18, 2016. You can pick up order forms in the office as well.
Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) ~ Please click here to view more information about three upcoming seminars to be held at BCE. Triple P is the world's leading positive parenting program committed to strengthening families by promoting positive relationships. The seminars will take place on Nov. 29, Dec. 1, and Dec 6. You can attend one, two or all three of the seminars.
PowerSchool Mobile Focus Group ~ PowerSchool is currently planning new features for their mobile app and would like feedback from parents and students. Participants will receive a $20 gift card for their time.
Focus groups will be held on the following dates:
Monday, November 14
Wednesday, November 16
Please click on the following link if you are interested in participating.
Canned Food Drive ~ The Valley Christmas Project Canned Food Drive is up and running. Please send in your non-perishable donations to help support families in our community. This is a great opportunity for our children to discover the good feeling we receive when we do good things for others.
Lost and Found ~ As the weather has cooled down we've had an explosion of lost and found apparel. Please come by to see if your student's missing outerwear may still be here at school. Thank you!
Check It Out! ~ Have you noticed our new bulletin board located near the office? We are recognizing all our students who have perfect attendance each month. Perfect attendance means your student was at school every day on time.
