Thank you from the Yearbook Team!
Spirit Week has been awesome, thank you to all the parents who have sent in photos to the yearbook team! We appreciate it so much!
Meet the Reading Intervention Team
This Team consists of 7 Interventionists Jessica Merciez, Julie Kiernan, Susi Krider, Andrea Kroekel, Jenny Hillyard, Beth Dilsaver and Jen Tennal. The team is led by Carri Provencher, Academic Interventionist. Everyone on this team has a passion for reading, leading and learning.
The focus of Reading Intervention is to support the students with reading skills, including phonemic awareness, alphabetic principle, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension based on the five pillars designed by the National Reading Panel. Reading Intervention will take place during the normal school day, for both online and in-person students.
COVID restrictions have changed the way we see students, however, we are going to meet with them daily for 15 minutes beginning the week of October 5th. Online parents can expect a Google Meet invitation soon, and in-person learners will be following the same safety protocols and procedures along with their cohorts.
We look forward to meeting with your students!

FALL CONFERENCES

Elementary homeroom and specials teachers will reach out to families with invitations through Sign Up Genius.
Middle School teachers will conduct conferences as grade level teams that include all core teachers and the two elective teachers for Learning Cycles 1 & 2. Priority will be given to students with academic (students with Ds/Fs) and/or behavior concerns. Middle School teams will directly invite families. If you do not receive an invitation, but would like to schedule a conference, please contact your child’s teacher directly.
Specialists will be available for conferences as well. If you would like a Special Services provider to join your conference with the classroom teacher, please let the classroom teacher know. You may also reach out to the Special Service provider directly to schedule an individual conference.
STUDENT FEES/ONLINE PAYMENTS
Due to the current situation, online payments through our webstore will be the only method of payment for student fees. Please click here for online payment instructions. For questions regarding fees, please contact Ms. Sam French.
YEARBOOK
Although our school year looks a little bit different this year, we are still committed to providing families with their yearly memory book. With that being said, we still need all the content we can get. This includes school-appropriate activities at home, outside of home, in school, while doing school work, on the computer, whatever it is that your child is doing for school, we would love to showcase in the yearbook.
We also want to let you know that while the Yearbook team would LOVE to include ALL the photos that are submitted, there are only so many slots allotted where photos can go, so unfortunately, some photos that are submitted may not be included. Please use our email address: yearbook@bromleyeastcs.org to send us photos of your students! If possible, include a name, grade level and what the student was doing in the photo.
Thank you so much for your support and for being a part of the BECS family!
