Did you know???
Lessons that our teachers create and present in class cannot be duplicated by completing worksheets or pages in a textbook. When your student misses time from class they are not receiving the quality experience they have with our outstanding staff.
Thank you for supporting your student by getting them to school every day and on time!
Wishing you all a wonderful 3-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.
