Message from the Principal
BBE Parents,
After five weeks of school, we’re excited to share that our students are already showing great progress. Their performance on beginning-of-the-year assessments and classroom work has been impressive, and we are so proud of their efforts. This success wouldn’t be possible without the strong partnership we have with you—our supportive parents and guardians. Thank you for your continued encouragement, involvement, and commitment to your child’s education. Together, we’re ensuring that every student is learning at high levels!
As we look ahead to next week, Friday will be a staff development day / student holiday. We will have a lot to accomplish in four days as the students prepare for a three day weekend coming up.
Thank you for trusting us with your students. Bears LEAD the Way! All the Way! Go Bears!
