Bear News!
Way to Go Bears!! Friday November 18th.
Message from the office.
Hello BCE Community.
I hope everyone has a beautiful and restful week off. From all the staff and I, we wish you the best holiday. Please take a moment to consider who and what you are grateful for. I am thankful to be part of this fantastic community, my family, and my friends. Thank you for welcoming me into the BCE community this year.
Thank you to all the families that took the time to attend conferences this week. We so value the time you spend with us to support your students. Also, thank you to all the parent volunteers that helped at the Book Fair this week. It was so much fun to see the students excited about the books. Please take some time to read next week while you are off.
The District received additional home test kits to provide to our families. We sent home COVID tests with every student for the fall break. Although not mandatory, we will provide each student with a home test kit during the week of November 14 and recommend that each student test the weekend before returning to school on Monday, November 28, 2022. As a reminder, home test kits are available for pick up in all school offices and the District Office.
Have a wonderful week off. See you Monday, 11/28.
As always, please let us know if you need anything. Have a great weekend
Mrs. Fippin and Office Staff
