Dear BES Families,

We had such a great FULL WEEK back! We had some fun on Tuesday, with April Fools' Day! First, Dr. VanRheen, LHS Principal, and I switched places in the morning! It was fun seeing our big kids! The fourth graders loved that we tricked the third graders with a flood drill during lunch - and the third graders loved standing on the benches I think! Then I tried to convince them that since we missed so many days in February, we would have to come to school the next three Saturdays to make up the time. I even said it would just be teachers and students, that I was able to stay home and play...they didn't fall for it!

Please look over our upcoming dates, we've had some updates and additions to our end-of-year fun.

Congratulations to Mrs. Kreiser, Mrs. Mulcahy, and Miss Harris' classes for having the best attendance rate for the month of March!

Tonight we will be celebrating our Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Kreiser! We are so proud of all the heart and soul she puts into her students and our community. Congratulations, Mrs. Kreiser!

Have a great week,

Cindy Apple, Principal

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!
