Thank you to all that participated in the 2024 Talent show this week. Thank you Mr. Keasey and Mrs. Jaime for all the organization. BCE Bears have some amazing talents. So happy to see them showing off their amazing skills.
Thank you to the 4th grade teachers for putting on a wonderful gold rush day. The kids had a wonderful experience and looked like so much fun.

BCE Talent Show- Sign up now
BCE’s annual Talent Show is coming up! We invite students in K-5 to audition to be in the show. Please sign up your student to audition using this link. You can contact Mr. Keasey (akeasy@slvusd.org) or Mrs. Jaime (kjaime@slvusd.org) if you have any questions.
Attendance
As you know, attendance is extremely important. That said, we understand children get sick and may miss some school. We notice some students are missing an excessive amount of school due to illness.
If your student is out for more than three days we do require a doctor's note. You can scan & send the document to our health aide, Kat, at kgafford@slvusd.org. You can send a screenshot to (831) 252-1491 or you can bring the document to us in person.
This is extremely important so please save the paperwork from any of your appointments and submit that documentation in a timely fashion. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Should you have any questions please contact Kat at 338-6413 extension 149."
