BES Parent Weekly Email

Parents,

This past week our teachers had the opportunity to be part of a professional development held by Solution Tree Coach, Kim Nichols. Ms. Nichols is a former administrator and district office staff from Georgia. She now travels the country coaching schools to best help students. Our teachers learned a lot of valuable information they will be able to apply in their classroom.

Thank you to all of you who helped us raise money for PTO through Boosterthon. We raised almost $10,000, which exceeded our school goal. The students had a blast celebrating at our Fun Run last Friday.

As always, thank you for your support. If we can do anything to serve your family, never hesitate to reach out.

Have a great weekend!

Mr. Fowler

Each Friday, our teachers select a student from each grade level as student of the week. Every other month, we celebrate our Pandas of the Week with their families. We love having these parents in our building.

Mark your calendars for our Literacy Night on March 4 from 4:30-6:00pm. We can't wait for your family to join us!

Our two current middle schools in the district have some significant financial challenges. The district is proposing the possibility of building a new middle school for Belton and Honea Path students to occupy in 2027-2028. Here is a link for some clarifying information - Building For Tomorrow

You must call the office if you need to change the transportation for how your child normally gets home. Messaging the teacher on Class Dojo will not work because teachers will most likely not see your message until students are already gone.

If your child is a car rider and would like to eat breakfast at school, please be sure to get them to school as early as possible to give them plenty of time to eat. The hot breakfast line ends at 7:35am. I would suggest getting your child to school before 7:30am to ensure they are getting a hot breakfast, and are not rushed.

The tardy bell will ring at 7:45am. Students must be in their classroom by 7:45am in order to not be tardy. Parents must park and walk their child in if they are tardy.

Students will not be allowed to be dismissed from class after 2:00pm without administrator approval. Please plan doctor appointments accordingly.

Breakfast and Lunch are free for all of our students this year!
