Way to Go Bears!! Showing the BCE Way!- September 30th

Message from the office.

Hello BCE Community

I hope to see everyone tonight at the Ice Cream Social. It is going to be a great night. The Parent Club gave every student on campus a Golden Ticket for 1 free scoop. Enjoy friends, hotdogs, and ice cream on the upper lawn.

We had a great 1st awards assembly today, honoring our students that have gone above and beyond to show the BCE WAY by making Friends. We also celebrated our perfect attendance of students. Way to go, BEARS! October, our character trait will be RESPECT.

As always, please let us know if you need anything. Have a great weekend

Mrs. Fippin and Office Staff

October BCE WAY Character Trait

The October BCE Way learning will be RESPECT. As a school, we will learn more about how to show respect, read texts, and practice. Please help at home by pointing out how your student is showing respect when others are going above and beyond, and, of course, we can all continue to learn and grow in this area.

COVID Updates- Please see new links - Update on Volunteers.

Please see the email provided by the Superintendent this week. Emergency procedures were detailed, and the District webpage has been updated.

I wanted to ensure you got the information from the district office regarding General COVID information. Please contact the health office if you have any questions or need any home COVID tests. We have plenty in the office. I also want to ensure all families receive the General COVID exposure notice. Please let us know if you have any questions.
