Dear BES Families,

Well, last Friday was a new one for us! It was so disappointing to not have our field day and unfortunately, we are unable to reschedule. We will have many fun activities this week for the students in our short 2.5 days left! A huge thank you to everyone for helping that day.

Please read through the information from Nurse Candice below!

5th grade band will be on Tuesday only this week.

Reminder - if you want to donate your child's school supplies, see the information below and talk to them about what to donate and what to keep for next year!

Don't forget to honk and wave goodbye on Wednesday! The staff will be outside wishing you the best summer ever!

If you receive an attendance letter from school, it is meant to inform you of your student's absences or tardies. This way you can also keep track of the days gone and how to plan ahead to

miss fewer days.

One week gone is approximately 7.5 hours of instruction lost in reading and in math. That doesn't include the extra time teachers provide to check for understanding and mastery of concepts so they can move on to the next concept. We see some students really struggle to get caught back up when they've missed extended time. We attempt to make it up during school hours, but your child may be required to stay after school to work with teachers or our tutors.

Attendance is a focus at BES and we want your children at school! It can be very difficult for students to get caught up sometimes when they miss for extended periods of time. For example, when a student misses a week of school, that is up to 450 minutes of math instruction they are missing!

If your family does have a trip planned, we do not provide lessons or materials ahead of those trips. Teachers will work with you to schedule times when your student can be given that instruction and guided work time to ensure mastery of skills. This may have to happen before or after school, but we will also try to work during the school day as well.

GREAT school habits now help prepare students for future success!
