Discovery!!!
Dear BSE Families,
It has been such a pleasure to meet and begin working with your wonderful children. We have already completed some STEM challenges and I am blown away by their creativity and problem-solving skills. I look forward to the rest of the year as we learn and grow together.
In order to complete some of the projects I have planned for the year, I am requesting donations of consumable materials that will get used by all of our BSE students. If you are able, please consider sending these items in with your students.
Kindergarten – crayons
1st grade – colored pencils
2nd grade – markers
3rd grade – masking tape and/or glue sticks
4th grade – construction paper
I also have an Amazon Wish List for books and other supplemental materials which I will update periodically -

ParentSquare
Hamilton Southeastern Schools has launced ParentSquare for school communications for the 2022-2023 school year. ParentSquare allows us to communicate with students, staff, and families via email, text, and app notifications.
At this time ParentSquare does not have the ability for you to message a teacher directly. If you need to reach out to your student's teacher we encourage you to do that via their email address.
Lost and Found
We already have items in our lost and found with no names on them. Please label all water bottles, lunch boxes, jackets, etc. with student's first and last names so that we can return lost items to students. If your student is missing an item please have them check the lost and found table.
