BCE Bearmail 1/25/18

January 25, 2018

Dear BCE Families,

Reminder ~ Just as a reminder that there will be NO SCHOOL tomorrow. Our amazing teachers will be participating in professional development focused on Social-Emotional Learning.


BINGO ~ I hope you were able to join us last Friday for a fun night of Bingo!  I want to thank all our parent volunteers, bakers and student workers for their hard work in putting together such a fun family event! 


Valentine's Day ~ As February rolls in we start thinking about Valentine's Day, please remember that if your student brings Valentine cards for one student in the class, they need to bring cards for all the students in their class.  Valentine's Day is not a day for hurt feelings and hearts.


Flu Season ~ We're in the middle of flu season, please remind your students to wash their hands with soap and water on a regular basis.  Donations of tissues and anti-bacterial wipes are also always appreciated.  Please click here for information on the flu and how to help protect yourself and your family, and click here for the Spanish version.


Up Coming Dates to Remember:

  • TOMORROW 1/26 = No School (Teacher Professional Development Work Day)
  • Thursday 2/8 = Parent Club Meeting, 6:00 BCE Library
  • Thursday 2/8 = Family Dinner Night, Los Amigos Taqueria
  • Monday 2/12 = No School (Lincoln's Birthday)
  • Friday 2/16 = Family Dance
  • Monday 2/19 = No School (President's Day)

Empathy Quote of the Week :

 

 "The discoveries of how we can grow and the insights we need to have, really come from the inside out.  To have genuine empathy, not as a make-nice tool but as an understanding, is essential to the next step."

~ Patricia Sun

Did you know???

 

Children aged five to twelve need 10 to 12 hours of sleep a night.

 

Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school every day and on time!

 

Wishing you all a wonderful three day weekend!

 

The BCE Way:  BE RESPECTFUL, BE SAFE, BE RESPONSIBLE



This is a reminder that San Lorenzo Valley Unified School District policy, as set by the Board of Trustees, declares that we are a fragrant-neutral district. As we continue to have assemblies and other site-based activities and meetings, please take care to follow the policies below for the sake of the students and members of our community who are highly allergic to fragrances and scents.

The SLVUSD Board of Trustees adopted a California School Board Association policy to make all district classrooms and offices fragrant neutral. BCE has parents, students, and community members with respiratory issues who can have negative reactions to fragrances. Please take care to follow the policy while on campus.  

 

Staff and students shall refrain from bringing furred or feathered animals, stuffed toys that may collect dust mites, scented candles, incense or air fresheners and from using perfume or cologne, scented hair spray, nail polish or nail polish remover that are not fragrance-free in classrooms or other enclosed areas or buildings.
