Making the Most out of a Situation....
With that in mind, please reach out to us if you and your child(ren) are struggling with developing a schedule and understanding the resources that are available now.
Please know that the BES staff is doing all we can to meet the academic and more importantly the emotional needs of our students and families. We are all in this together and together we will survive day by day, hour by hour. Be kind to yourself! Give yourself and your child(ren) GRACE! We are all adjusting to these new routines and trying to find our "balance."
We will continue to encourage, support, and uplift one another as we face this challenge as an opportunity to develop in ways that we never imagined!
Blue Jays Lead the Way,
LJones
What's to come....
We will be receiving more guidance from the BOE over the next few days, and we will keep you posted as soon as we know more. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding during this time. We hope and pray that all of our BES families and ECSD families are doing well. Please do not hesitate to contact me personally through email and/or social media if I can assist you in any way.
Look for more information to come soon!
