BEAR CREEK BLAST
November 15th-19th
Principal Updates
Every minute counts:
BCE families, we need your help! Every minute counts! I can not stress the importance of your child being on time and present every day enough. The expectation is that every student is in their chair before the tardy bell rings at 7:40. If your child is constantly coming in late they are missing out on crucial instructional minutes.
Lunch Visitors:
We have finally been able to purchase new picnic tables for our back patio! Like everything else in the world, we have experienced supply and shipping delays. The good news is that we should have the opportunity for parents to eat lunch with their children starting in the spring!
GCISD COVID-19 Resources
Please visit www.GCISD.net/COVID19 for lots of resources from the District pertaining to COVID-19. There you can find updated frequently asked questions, current GCISD COVID-19 protocols, information on the GCISD COVID-19 Testing Center, information on remote conferencing, statistics regarding COVID-19 cases in GCISD and more.
This is a reminder that in the mornings for arrival, the small bus circle is for our families whose children receive special services ONLY. All other families must use the main bus circle. When you park and form a line, our special services bus, parents whose children receive special services, and our teachers who help our students, are unable to access the ramp that they need to unload our students.
Again, for morning arrival, please use the main bus circle if you do not have a child who is in our special services programs. Thank you.
