Holiday Food Drive

BES is excited to partner with Berthoud’s House of Neighborly Service for our annual Holiday Food Drive! This season, we’re collecting donations to support Berthoud-area families in need, helping ensure our neighbors have the food and essentials they need for a warm, nourishing holiday season.

We will be collecting donations Wednesday, December 3rd through Tuesday, December 9th. Students may bring items to their classrooms, where collection boxes will be available all week.


To add a little fun and excitement to this important community project, we’re hosting a school-wide classroom competition.

Each pantry or household item = 1 point

Each specialty holiday item = 2 points

The top three classrooms that collect the most points will receive a special prize—details to be revealed soon! Below you will see a list of items that are needed this season.


This is a great way for students to work together, show generosity, and build school spirit while supporting families in our area. Thank you for helping us spread kindness and support throughout our community this holiday season. Your generosity truly makes a difference!

Reminder Regarding BES's Cell Phone Policy

CELL PHONES and WRIST PHONES

We ask that all adults turn cell phones off/ silent when they enter the building, to prevent disruption to the learning environment. Additionally, students may not use cell or wrist phones at school. All electronics must be powered off and out of sight upon arrival, and until students have exited the building at the end of the school day. E-readers may be used FOR READING after completion of the school permission slip. The office will assist with necessary parent communication during the school day. Electronics and phones accessed without approval during the school day may be secured for the student until the end of the day by the teacher or the office. Please contact the school principal if you have any questions.


This policy can also be found in the 2025-2026 Student Handbook.

Norovirus Outbreak

BES is currently being monitored by the health department for an outbreak of NORO Virus. We are being extra vigilant about hand washing and cleaning of surfaces until we are cleared of the outbreak.


Due to the highly contagious nature of norovirus, please keep your student home if they are vomiting or have diarrhea. They should not return to school until 48 hours after their symptoms have stopped, even if they have just one episode of vomiting or diarrhea.

Thank you for helping to keep our BES community healthy!

Everyone is Buzzing about the SPELLING BEE!


For all students interested in participating in the 2025/26 Spelling Bee, the word lists to study can be found in their Google Classrooms.
