Dear BES Families,
I hope you had a wonderful break with your family! We only have 3 weeks until our winter break and those weeks are going to be FULL! Our focus at school will be on finishing up projects, completing our end of semester screenings, and looking at our schoolwide data of where our students are academically and what we need to do to meet our goals as a class, a grade, and as a school. We will be celebrating too this month! We will be recognizing our classes with great attendance during the month of November! We will be celebrating end of semester and quarter milestones - completing AR goals, improving multiplication facts, and for being great kids with our weekly shout-outs and our Thumbs Up Thursday fun!
We do have a lot of attendance notices going out. This is only to inform you of how many absences your children have so far this school year. If you receive a letter, your child has met a threshold for us notifying you. If needed, I will reach out separately to schedule an appointment so we can plan together. However, most all of our absences are excused and the email is simply to inform. I have more information below regarding attendance.
Some corrections were made to the 'Sounds of the Season' dates and locations. Please check the updated version below carefully. This year, due to parking and seats, we ask that you and your family enter through the main doors of LHS and exit out the activity entrance to the parking lot once the concert is over. We ask you take pictures before and to leave quickly after the concert so we can prepare for the next group coming. We will have additional staff available to point the way and assist! We are so thankful to the LHS staff, especially the maintenance staff, in helping us have those concerts in their beautiful auditorium!
This month our social worker, Mrs. McIntire, and our STEM teacher, Mrs. Jamison, have teamed up to give back. Please see our weekly challenges below in how you and your family can join us in giving back. Also below, we have information for families needing assistance during this time. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you or someone you know could benefit from our resources.
We can't wait to see everyone back tomorrow!!
Cindy Apple, Principal
