Dear BCE Families,
Reminder ~ Just a reminder that there will be no school on Monday. Enjoy the long Memorial Day weekend and we'll see you back at BCE bright and early on Tuesday!
4th Grade Families ~ Please click here to read an important message regarding our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program for our 5th grade students.
End of year ~ As the end of the year approaches we can feel the summer energy increase. Please help your student make the most of these last days of school by keeping to a routine as much as possible and reminding them how important their job as a student is.
Good Information ~ Please click here to read some excellent information about the importance of supervising and limiting your student's screen time.
Library ~ The BCE library is closed for the school year. Please return any library books your student still may have. Payment for lost or damaged books can be made in the office. Thank you!
Need Kindergarten? ~ Kindergarten registration for fall 2017 opened on March 15. To begin the registration process, please plan on bringing your child's birth certificate, immunization record and proof of address (e.g. utility bill with your name and address). For more information contact Alma, our Registrar - asteinberg@slvusd.org.
Children must be five years old by September 1 in order to enroll in Kindergarten. If your student has a September, October or November birthday you might be interested in our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program. For more information please click here or call the BCE office at 831-338-6413.
We're looking forward to your student joining our BCE learning community!
Family Survey ~ It's that time of year again! Please take a moment to use this link to complete our Family Survey. The information we receive from the survey guides us in our plans for next school year. Thank you for your time.
Band Festival ~ I'd like to invite you to the 8th Annual SLVUSD "District-Wide Band Festival" on May 30 at 7 pm in the SLVHS Gym.
This is the one time during the year that you can hear the BCE, SLE, SLVMS and SLVHS bands all in one place. It's a fun way to celebrate how hard we've worked this year (or more) as well as see the progression from elementary through high school. Our finale for the evening will feature all 150+ performers playing together which is something you just have to see/hear to believe!
The event is free but donations will be accepted and there will be a $5 hotdog dinner available at 6 pm.
I hope you'll consider joining us for this fun evening of music!

Did you know???
Students miss important instructional time when they are checked out early from school. Please schedule appointments for your students after school hours whenever possible. Your student will know you support their important job when you make every effort to have them in class for their entire school day.
Wishing you all a wonderful 3-day weekend!
The BCE Way: BE RESPECTFUL, BE SAFE, BE RESPONSIBLE
