Message from the office.
Hello BCE Community-
It has been a fun two weeks at BCE. Halloween was so much fun. Thank you to all who helped make it possible. Today was sports day. It is so fun to connect with everyone with common sports. Thanks to all who participated today.
Report cards will be coming home next Friday. Please make sure you ask your student next Friday. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact your teacher.
We have one more full week before our week break. Everyone at BCE is so thankful for our community and your support. I hope your family can celebrate those you are thankful for and have some well-needed relaxation.
Please remember we do not have school on Friday, November 10th.
Have a great 3 weekend.
I can be reached best by email at gfippin@slvusd.org

Attendance Matters
We know people get sick, people get injured, and there can be family or life responsibilities and other issues that are reasonable and excused.
But if your student can attend, they need to be in school.
If your student is out for three or more consecutive days, we may request a doctor's note to continue excusing the absences.
Students who miss 3-5 days will receive a Chronic Absence letter. We will then meet with those families to attempt to support the student attending school. On the second Chronic Absence Letter, families may be required to meet at the District Office to put a plan in place for the student's attendance. On the third Chronic Absence Letter, families may be required to meet with the County Office Student Attendance Review Board for truancy.
Our goal is that nobody ever gets that far along with truancy. We are here to help and support, but it does start at home with the expectation that your student will attend school regularly.
