At BCE we think our grandparents are EXTRA special and deserve more than just one day (September 8th) of recognition! So we would love to celebrate all our wonderful grandparents the entire month of September. Our grandparents are invited to bring their grandchild/grandchildren for lunch (during their assigned lunch time) in our Blue Jay cafe. The lunch schedule is listed below. If you chose to bring lunch to your grandchild/grandchildren for lunch, please make sure you bring in your license so we can scan you into our Raptor system and provide you with a visitor badge. We look forward to seeing you!

We are so excited to see more volunteers helping us out in the cafeteria. I know Ms. Genzer, our lunchroom monitor, really appreciates it, especially during Kinder lunch. If you have never supervised 60 kinder students, it's a treat because they have a difficult time opening EVERYTHING! Since we have an increase in the number of volunteers, we wanted to share our campus wide expectations for our common areas starting with the cafeteria (see below). Our grade level teachers teach and reinforce these expectations every day and students earn validations for showing safe, respectful, and responsible behavior. These validations help them earn class rewards, school-wide rewards, and new this year color team rewards. We would appreciate it if you could also reinforce these expectations at home with your child before they come to school each day. We appreciate your help!

For our new to BCE families we wanted to share with you our weekly dress-up days. Throughout the year we may add additional dress up days for fun and to build a sense of community, however every Monday and Friday are the same (see below). We look forward to your student(s) joining in on the fun!

Mondays - Blue Jay T-Shirts

Fridays - Team Colors or College Gear

Please help us alleviate the amount of items we have in Lost and Found by labeling your child's items such as jackets, sweatshirts, lunchboxes, and water bottles. This will help us immensely!! The Lost and Found has now been moved to the Blue Jay Cafe. Thank you for your help in this matter!
