Welcome back to School from Principal Fippin

Hello BCE Community-


It was a fun-filled week this week at BCE. We started most of our enrichment classes this week. Art, Music, Library were fun for all. It was so great to get started with all our activities right away. Next week we will start ELA and Math intervention. We are lucky to have added another support staff to our intervention team this year. We will be launching both Lexia in the coming days. Many of you did Lexia last year. Your teachers will be reaching out with log-ins and directions again soon.


We had fun today on Jumpers celebrating those that did the summer road maps. Each student who completed the summer learning road map could come out and play with a popsicle. Thank you, families, for helping keep the learning going throughout the summer.


We also had a wonderful time learning more about PBIS here at BCE. Students visited several different locations around the campus to learn how to BE SAFE, BE RESPECTFUL, and BE RESPONSIBLE. We will continue to focus on this throughout the year.


This weekend is the garden clean up. If you are free, please come out and join the team tomorrow morning from 8:30-10:30. Thank you in advance for helping keep our garden clean and a wonderful learning space.


Have a great weekend.

I can be reached best by email at gfippin@slvusd.org

Attendance Matters

We know people get sick, people get injured, and there can be family or life responsibilities and other issues that are reasonable and excused.

But if your student can attend, they need to be in school.

If your student is out for three or more consecutive days, we may request a doctor's note to continue excusing the absences.


Students who miss 3-5 days will receive a Chronic Absence letter. We will then meet with those families to attempt to support the student attending school. On the second Chronic Absence Letter, families may be required to meet at the District Office to put a plan in place for the student's attendance. On the third Chronic Absence Letter, families may be required to meet with the County Office Student Attendance Review Board for truancy.


Our goal is that nobody ever gets that far along with truancy. We are here to help and support, but it does start at home with the expectation that your student will attend school regularly.

PBIS- Bears

Positive Behavior Support will be a focus for BCE this year. We will be looking at promoting positive behavior in all ways. We will focus on the BCE Bear Way for the first month. How do we show Be Safe, Respectful, and Responsible all over the campus. Please ask your student how they are showing these behaviors. We will also be giving Bear Paws for good behavior. These will be used like cash at the student store in the coming weeks. More information is to come regarding the store, but it will be very exciting.

Hot Lunch and Bus Passes

We will continue to provide free lunch to all students this year. We do ask that you complete the application on the district webpage.


If your child will be riding the bus this year and will need a bus pass, please make sure you purchase your bus pass online here.


We would love to know who is riding the bus this year and what route they will be taking. Please complete this google form to help us know who will be riding. Please complete it for each student. We will use these lists to help with communication. If a bus is running late, we will send out an email to all families.

Drop off and Pick Up

We are so excited to see everyone, and the first couple of weeks can be very busy in the parking lot. Please be patient with everyone while we learn and remember the parking lot rules. If you are dropping off or picking up, please remember not to leave your car if you are not parked in an assigned spot. There is no parent parking on campus, all parents need to park on the street and walk in. If you drop off at YMCA before 8, you may park in the bus zone for your quick drop-off. We do not have supervision for students before 8:10. Please do not leave your students before 8:10 unattended. Staff will be out and about to help and ensure everyone is safe.
