Dear BCE Families,
Spring Break ~ Just a reminder that next week is Spring Break. I hope you all are able to enjoy some extra time with your amazing students and we'll see you back at BCE on April 9.
Walk-Jog-a-Thon ~ What a beautiful day for a Walk-Jog–a-Thon! Thank you to all our volunteers who came out today to support our students and BCE! I'd also like to send a shout out to all our BCE Bears who persevered and kept going when they got tired, showed kindness by encouraging others, and flexibility by adjusting their learning day and schedule. Way to Go BCE!!!
2018-19 School Calendar ~ Click here to view the 2018-2019 school calendar. Your student's school attendance is one of the key markers for success. Thank you for planning family vacations that are aligned with the school calendar.
Article about Acceptance ~ Please click here to read an article about Acceptance written by our fabulous student counselor, Jen Sims.
From our Superintendent, Dr. Laurie Bruton ~ Each year I share information with parent groups at each school site regarding the instructional program in SLVUSD. This is an opportunity for parents to review the district priorities and action plans and provide feedback to the district.
The LCAP survey is one way that the district gathers input from staff and parents. Please take a minute to take the LCAP survey and add your thoughts and comments. Your opinion matters and services and programs for students are added each year based on many of your responses. We will be reviewing the information on the surveys on April 10, 2018 to write our final LCAP plan and budget for 2018-2019.
Thank you for your support for the SLVUSD staff and students. -Laurie Bruton

Empathy Quote of the Week :
"I always think that if you look at anyone in detail, you will have empathy for them because you recognize them as a human being, no matter what they've done."
~ Andrea Arnold
Did you know???
Studies have shown a link between heavy media use and issues such as obesity, lack of sleep, academic challenges, aggression, and other behavior difficulties.
Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school every day and on time!
Wishing you all a wonderful Spring Break!
