Charged Ipads
We have been learning all about what it means to be responsible. We have discussed that it is the student's responsibility to charge their ipad and bring it to school every single day. We have had a lot of dead ipads and ipads with low battery power. Teachers do not have extra chargers or outlets to charge dead ipads. Please remind your child to charge their ipad each night before going to sleep.
Lunch with your Child
LUNCH VISITOR UPDATES:
Beginning now, there will be a monthly sign-up sheet for those that wish to come and eat lunch with their child. In addition to the inside seats available, our new picnic tables are set to arrive any day and will allow us to offer more seating options outside! The sign-up sheet is HERE! *You only need to sign up for one slot per family. We have separate tables for each visiting family. Thank you!
Share Your Career!!
BCE Parents/Guardians,
We are so excited about our upcoming College & Career Day on Wednesday, May 25th! We hope you will consider signing up to share about your career and/or college with our students! Each grade level has their own Sign Up with different time slots to present to individual classes (Pre-K is a little different). You are welcome and encouraged to sign up for multiple classes/grade levels. If you feel like your presentation would be beneficial for a larger group than just one class, please email Sarah Burey at sarah.burey@gcisd.net. Also, if you are unable to attend in person but would like to create and send a short video, you can email it to Sarah. The deadline to sign up is Friday, May 20th.
