Dear BCE Families,
Happy New Year! ~ I hope you all had a wonderful Winter Break and were able to enjoy lots of quality time with those amazing students of yours. 2017 promises to be an exciting year full of growing, learning and a few surprises along the way!
Reminder ~ Just as a reminder that there will be NO SCHOOL on Monday as we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King's Birthday.
BINGO ~ Wrap up warmly and please join me tonight for Family BINGO Night! The fun begins at 6:30 in the MP and there is no charge to play Bingo. Additionally, there will be pizza and dessert available for purchase. Proceeds from these food items will support Science Camp. Thank you to our Parent Club for sponsoring this fun event.
Rain ~ Thank you for your flexibility and patience during this last round of storms. As much as we'd love to never have to cancel school, our priority is always your student's safety.

Directions on how to complete the portal can be accessed by clicking here.
