Good Afternoon,

We had an incredible week at BES! Thank you for all the ways that you support our school and your students every day! As we near the end of 3rd nine weeks, please encourage your child to continue to do their best. Monday, we sent out the 3rd Quarter Progress Reports through email. If you did not receive one, please contact the school to update your email address. Today, I will be sending out the Bi-Weekly Progress Reports. This report will give you your child's current Yearly Average. If you have any questions or concerns about their grades, please reach out to your child's teacher.

Please be reminded that the next two weeks are four day weeks. We will be in school in Friday, February 16 or the following Monday, February 19.

Please know that we value your input. If you have any questions, comments, concerns or suggestions, please let us know. You can email us or call us anytime. We will respond within 48 hours of receiving the message. At BES, our mission is to partner with the home and community to provide a safe, supportive and innovative learning environment to ensure ALL students are equipped with the knowledge, skills and core values needed for success. These actions will enable us to reach of vision of creating a learning community that to Believe in themselves, Excel in performance, and Succeed in life.

Have a great weekend, and we will see everyone on Monday.

Mrs. Hedrick
