BPES Little Titans Newsletter

Dear BPE Families,

We had a wonderful week celebrating Start With Hello! We hope this was a positive and helpful experience for all of our students as we continue growing as Titans who are Respectful, Responsible, Safe, and Kind.

A quick reminder: Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on October 14 and October 16. Teachers posted their conference sign-up links on Dojo this past Monday, and we ask that all families sign up by October 3. Conferences are a great opportunity to build strong connections and relationships between families and teachers as we work together to support every child.

Be sure to also check out our upcoming PTSA family events—we hope to see you there! A big thank you to PTSA for providing schoolwide t-shirts for every student. We can’t wait to see grade levels wearing them on their assigned Town Hall days. If your child is new to BPE and didn’t receive a shirt during the first order, no worries—more are on the way, and your child will receive one as soon as they arrive. In the meantime, they can wear their grade-level color on those special days.

Thank you for all you do to support your child in their educational journey—we truly appreciate our BPE families!

Warmly,

Mrs. Schneid

Ms. Frimel

Mr. Carnabuci

It was a true Deeper Learning experience—exploring, questioning, and learning together!

Just a Friendly Reminder

As the weather is changing, please take this opportunity to update your child's extra set of clothes in their backpack with clothing suitable for the current season, ensuring they have appropriate layers for colder or warmer temperatures depending on the time of year.

School Fees will be added to student accounts on October 1, 2025. Payments may be made in person at BPE using Cash or Check , or through Infinite Campus. Instructions are provided below.

Families are asked and encouraged to complete the Income Eligibility Verification Application to access additional benefits, including increased state and federal funding for staff, equipment, and supplies; discounts on fees for academic assessments; and access to local scholarships, tuition assistance for dual credit and AP courses, and discounts on college application fees. By completing the application, you help the district continue to provide valuable resources and opportunities for every student.

Online Payments

Online payment is our preferred method for parents and guardians to pay for school fees, cafeteria payments, and more.

The Infinite Campus Online Payment system is a payment processing

solution that allows you to submit food service and school-related fees 24/7

via the Parent Portal. Payments can be made for one child or the entire

household.

The Fees tool provides a list of all fees assigned to you. Fees may include things like a lab fee for a science course, a fee for a field trip or the cost of an athletic activity. Fees that are still owed and fees that were paid appear in this list, followed by the ongoing balance for all fees.
