Power Pups Tutoring Continues
There will be no Math Power Pups tutoring on May 1. The remaining dates are : May 7, 8, 14, and 15.
Tutoring begins right after school and concludes at 4:30. When picking up your child(ren), please be sure to have your car rider card visible in your window. If you are having someone else pick up your child, please give them your card--either physically or electronically. Thank you for helping our pick up be safe and efficient!
Field Day (May 17)
On Friday, May 17, your children's classes will be participating in Field Day (weather permitting). This event allows our students to practice good sportsmanship skills, review skills covered in PE, and show their school spirit! Due to the number of students, volunteers, and teachers needed to provide this fun event for your children, we do not have the space to allow for adult or sibling spectators or lunch visitors. We hope you understand and will help us make this a safe and fun Field Day for all BTE students.
8:20-11:30am FIELD DAY FOR GRADES K-2
11:45am-3pm FIELD DAY FOR GRADES 3-5
Students will rotate to stations set up around the school. Because our Field Day event is outside, we are asking each child to bring the following:
- Sunscreen (first application at home is suggested)
- Water bottle labeled clearly with your child's name
- Hat/visor
- Weather-appropriate clothes (t shirts are recommended as they shield shoulders from sunburn)
- Required: tennis shoes (sandals are not permitted)
- Optional: change of clothes
In order to ensure this day is safe and fun, please talk to your child about the importance of following directions and practicing good sportsmanship.
Thank you for your help and cooperation.

5th Grade Clap Out (May 30)
Attention 5th Grade parents:
Our annual Clap Out will be taking place on Thursday, May 30. You are welcome to attend and participate by lining up on the grassy area to the right of our main entrance (when facing the building). After 5th graders walk the halls, they will make their way out to you so you can celebrate them!
Plan to arrive after 12:30pm. The students will end up outside a little after 1pm. You may park in our parking lot. Please do not park in our pick-up lane!! South Middle has given us permission to use their lot, if needed, after 12:30pm.
Dismissal Information:
- After the Clap Out, if you want to leave with your 5th grade child, you MUST have already filled out the 5th grade-Clap Out Dismissal form stating you are taking them home. We cannot make changes to their dismissal method after noon on May 30. On this form, you may designate someone else to pick up your child if you are not able to be there. Please also contact your child's teacher to let them know who is taking your child home if not the parent/guardian.
- If you are wanting to take home a child of yours in a different grade level, please include it on this form. You will pick them up in the parent-pick up line at normal dismissal time (1:15pm).
- If you are wanting to have a younger child participate in clapping out your fifth grade child outside (all students will participate inside), you will need to sign them out in the office prior to 12:45pm. After 12:45pm, we will not be able to retrieve students from classrooms.
