BPES Little Titans Newsletter

Dear BPE Families-

As we head into our last full week of the 2026–2027 school year, we want to thank all of our families and volunteers for helping make this year so special! Field Day was an amazing success, and we truly could not have done it without the support of our incredible volunteers. Thank you for giving your time and energy to help create such a fun and memorable day for our students.

A special thank you goes to Ms. Weiss and Mr. S for organizing, planning, and leading such an outstanding event for all of our Little Titans!

On Tuesday, May 19, we will hold our final Town Hall meeting of the school year. This will be a special opportunity for us to come together as an entire school community to celebrate, recognize, and reward all of the hard work, growth, leadership, and accomplishments from this year. We ask that students wear their PTSA grade-level shirts one last time for the 2026–2027 school year.

As we begin wrapping up the school year, students will also start bringing home school items and materials throughout next week. Please be sure to check backpacks regularly.

Thank you again for your continued support throughout the year. Have a wonderful weekend, and let’s finish the school year strong, Titans!

See everyone on Monday- Mrs. Schneid

Governor Mike DeWine signed Senate Bill 288 (SB 288) into law on January 3, 2023, mandating

that school districts notify parents about required curriculum on child sexual abuse.

SB 288 requires that school districts provide students in grades kindergarten through six

developmentally appropriate instruction on child sexual abuse, including information on available

counseling and resources for children who are sexually abused.

School Counselors at Big Creek Elementary, Brook Park Elementary, Grindstone Elementary,

Berea-Midpark Middle School will begin facilitating the Educate to Protect, to students in grades

K-6.

A letter has gone home with each child, but is also attached here. Please contact Mrs. McGregor or Mr. Mancuso if you have any questions.
