Another wet week at BCE, but we still seem to find the fun each day. I hope everyone is safe and dry through this next storm. It does seem like it is none stop these days. I am hopeful to see the sunlight at the end of the tunnel :)

Don't forget the time change this weekend.

Report cards came home today with each student. Please take a moment to look over your student's progress this last trimester. We are so proud of every student we have here at BCE. If you have any questions about your student's progress, don't hesitate to contact your teacher. Below is a message from Mrs. Wilson, our reading intervention teacher. She is an amazing resource and wanted to ensure parents know more about each reading level.

Also, the annual district survey is out. The feedback we get from the survey is really important to all of us at the district and site. You will see that we have a little competition in our district, so your help completing the survey could earn our site a little extra money. So please take a moment to complete it.

We have had several cases of pink eye over the past 2 weeks. Just be on the lookout with your kids since we have so many shared spaces around campus.

Please remember that next Friday is a teacher Professional Development Day, so NO SCHOOOL for students.

Have a great weekend, everyone!!

Mrs. Fippin and Office Staff

Survey Link

SLVUSD is looking to gather feedback from our families regarding our Academic, Communication, and Learning Environment goals. We anticipate the survey will take from five to seven minutes to complete. The valuable feedback that you submit will provide the district and the site with important information as we plan for the 2023-24 school year.

The surveys will be available through Friday, March 31st.

Not only will your participation provide us with valuable feedback, but it is also an opportunity for your child's school to earn some extra funds. As a little incentive, the schools will receive additional site discretionary funds for student/teacher resources based on the percentage of parents that complete the survey for their site.

All SLV schools are excited to engage in a little fun competition. Each site is ready for the challenge and believes that their parents will achieve the highest percentage of completed surveys.

CAC

The CAC is an advisory committee to the North Santa Cruz County SELPA Director and Governance Council. The CAC provides input regarding the Local Plan, assisting in parent education, recruiting, information sharing, and parent awareness. Voting members are appointed and approved by the school board of each district. The majority of the voting membership must be comprised of parents of children with disabilities.

Please see the email provided by the Superintendent this week. Emergency procedures were detailed, and the District webpage has been updated.

I wanted to ensure you got the information from the district office regarding General COVID information. Please contact the health office if you have any questions or need any home COVID tests. We have plenty in the office. I also want to ensure all families receive the General COVID exposure notice. Please let us know if you have any questions.
