Message from Mrs. Schneid
Dear BPE Families-
It was a great week at BPE, ending with our PTSA-sponsored Valentine’s Day parties! Our students had so much fun, and we loved welcoming so many of our parent volunteers into the building—thank you for helping make the day so special.
February 12 was also a highlight as students enjoyed our “Tattoo the Teacher/Staff Member” event. It brought lots of smiles and laughter to our school, and it was enjoyed by all. I have a feeling this may become a returning favorite next year! Be sure to check out the short video below to see some of the fun.
Looking ahead, Parent-Teacher Conferences will take place on February 19. All families should now be scheduled. We value this time to connect and share about your child’s growth and progress.
We are also hopeful that the warmer weather continues so our students can spend more time enjoying the outdoors.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Warmly,
Mrs. Schneid- Principal
Mr.Carnabuci- Assistant Principal
Ms. Frimel- Assistant Principal

Additional Message from Mrs. Scheid
Dear BPE Families and Little Titans,
I want to share that beginning February 23, I will be out for knee replacement surgery. This was a very difficult decision, as there is truly no “perfect” time, but after waiting a bit too long, it is something that needs to be done so I can fully heal and return stronger.
While I am out, please know that BPE will continue to be in wonderful hands. Our incredible staff and administrative team will carry on the important work we do each day to support our students. Mr. Carnabuci will serve as the primary point of contact and will support many of the decisions and responsibilities I typically handle, along with our administrative team.
While I am out, I will be unavailable for work-related communication as I focus on healing. During this time, Mr. Carnabuci and the administrative team will be available to assist families and staff as needed. Even so, I will absolutely be keeping tabs on my Little Titans—I already know I will miss your smiles, hugs, and our day-to-day interactions more than I can say.
I plan to return before the end of the school year, and I will be working very hard during physical therapy to make that happen. I truly appreciate your support, kindness, and understanding during this time.
Thank you for being such a special school community. BPE is a remarkable place because of our students, families, and staff—and I am so grateful to be part of it.
With appreciation,
Mrs. Schneid

Recess Guidelines- Very Important to Read and Know!
Dear Guardians-
Please be sure to be familiar with these guidelines below. All students must be prepared to go outside. When we have snow and the temperature permits our students to be outside, we would love for them to play in the snow appropriately. To be allowed to play in the snow they must have all of the following:
Snow Pants, Coat/Jacket, Boots and Gloves
They DO NOT need these items to go outside, but do need them if they want to play in the snow. We have areas for the kids play in - they love it! They make snow angels, build snowmen- but they must be dressed appropriately to do so.
Next event is March 4- ZZZZs to AAAAAs: Supporting Sleep for Student Success

Change of Clothes
Just a Friendly Reminder
As the weather is changing, please take this opportunity to update your child's extra set of clothes in their backpack with clothing suitable for the current season, ensuring they have appropriate layers for colder or warmer temperatures depending on the time of year.
