Greetings!

February is a busy month. We have a lot of engaging activites including grade level events that will take place both during school and in the evenings. Please be sure to check your child's folder each night and review information shared in this newsletter so that you are aware of said events.

We are continuing to stay consistent with helping all of our students learn and grow. Families can continue to help students succeed by coming to school each day. If your child is not sick, please send them to school. We miss them when they are absent and excessive abscences may begin to affect student success.

-Ms. Ballard

If your student is not an every day parent pick up, please have your ID when you come to pick up your child from the school. It is BCS policy that we check IDs of every person that request to pick up a student. Please keep this in mind and be paitent with staff when your ID is requested.

Get to know your child's teachers and what they expect. Compare your goals for your child to those of the teachers. Make sure that your child knows of your interest in his/her school. This will send the message that what he/she is doing is important.

• Tell teachers of special events that may influence how your child does in school.
• Get answers to all of your questions about homework requirements, attendance policies, dress and conduct rules, discipline policies, and curriculum guidelines.
• Talk with your child and find out what his/her concerns are.

Please aim to send your child to school each day. If your child is not sick, please send them to school.

We understand that older siblings may need to walk our kiddos home. Please be sure your child's teacher is aware of this arrangement. We have a new form to be completed by parents/guardians of students that are walked home by siblings that are under 18 years of age. Once the teacher is made aware, we will send home the form.

Please complete the Annual Emergency Information Update
