Message from Our Administrators
I want to share a big thanks to Mrs. Rich, all 3rd and 4th grade teachers and support staff in assisting our students in the completion of part 1 of ISTEP and for completing IREAD. The first session is a tricky one with all of the parts and pieces, so we are excited to move onto the next few weeks without formal testing. The next testing window is highlighted below. In the meantime we get back to business as usual!
I hope to see all of you and your family members tomorrow morning at the Pancake Breakfast. This PTO event is a great one for all to build community while supporting our BSE Bears. Details can be found below.
We have just two weeks prior to our very needed spring break, so keep up the great work at home and enjoy the games this weekend!
