BCE Bear MailFriday March 8th.

Message from the office.

Hello BCE Community and Families,


It was so great to see so many of our BEARS as twins, triplets and more. They were all so cute and a great way to show our spirit.


A reminder that we don't have school next Friday 3/15. It is a teacher professional development day. Enjoy the long weekend :)


5th grade families we wanted to let you know that you do not need to register for SLVMS next year. Since we are all SLVUSD all the documents will just transfer. Just wanted to make sure everyone knows as we have been getting a few calls.


Next Monday we will launch the district parent survey. Please be on the look out for an email from me. We so value the parent input in our district. It is also a big competition across the schools :)


We have our next BEAR PAW Store on 4/12. We would some more donations. We have the amazon wishlist updated based on student input. Thanks for your help in advance.


For summer of 2024, SLV will be running its Extended Learning Opportunity Program (ELOP) in June and July for qualifying families. Families who qualify for Summer ELOP should have received an email on February 28th. This is the only summer offering for SLVUSD students other than high school credit recovery.


Have a wonderful weekend.

I can be reached best by email at gfippin@slvusd.org

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."

We are excited to have volunteers back on campus. All volunteers need to be cleared with the appropriate paperwork from the office. The office is happy to help if you have questions about your volunteer status.

If you can volunteer this year, we would love to have you. Please speak with your teacher and office staff. All volunteer schedules need to be approved by classroom teachers before volunteers begin in classrooms.

PBIS- Bears

Positive Behavior Support will be a focus for BCE this year. We will be looking at promoting positive behavior in all ways. We will focus on the BCE Bear Way for the first month. How do we show Be Safe, Respectful, and Responsible all over the campus. Please ask your student how they are showing these behaviors. We will also be giving Bear Paws for good behavior. These will be used like cash at the student store in the coming weeks. More information is to come regarding the store, but it will be very exciting.

Drop off and Pick Up

We are so excited to see everyone, and the first couple of weeks can be very busy in the parking lot. Please be patient with everyone while we learn and remember the parking lot rules. If you are dropping off or picking up, please remember not to leave your car if you are not parked in an assigned spot. There is no parent parking on campus, all parents need to park on the street and walk in. If you drop off at YMCA before 8, you may park in the bus zone for your quick drop-off. We do not have supervision for students before 8:10. Please do not leave your students before 8:10 unattended. Staff will be out and about to help and ensure everyone is safe.
