Dear BES Families,

What a month! We've only had 10 days in school since the winter break, and it has been a whirlwind! We have our next Family Night next Sunday, February 2nd. Hope to see you there, we will be watching True Spirit...not Groundhog Day! Feel free to bring pillows, clear drinks, or snacks. We will have popcorn thanks to a generous donation of a popcorn machine!

Please take a look at the events highlighted below and the upcoming dates.

Have a wonderful week!

Cindy Apple, Principal

Our mindset for January is 100% Accountable. This mindset is perfect for kicking off a new year as it helps students understand that we are responsible for our own success and happiness. Students learn that we all have unique and wonderful ideas and to never let excuses or negative thoughts get in the way of new opportunities. This mindset teaches us that we must focus our energy on achieving our goals and that our lives are a journey paved with setbacks and celebrations that we learn from all along the way.

We do not sell our yearbooks during enrollment - other buildings do. So you have not yet purchased a yearbook - now is the time!!! Order it and save the email they send to you so you can remember you bought it in February!

Yearbooks cost #25 and the BES Yearbook code is 90895D

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!
