Friday January 10th.
Message from the BCE Office
Hello,
It has been great hearing about the kids' adventures over the break. Whether you stayed home or traveled, I hope you had time to relax and spend time with friends and family.
I wanted to give a big shout-out to our Jr. Coaches. They did a wonderful job today presenting to all classes on the BCE WAY. Please be on the lookout next week for pictures.
You might have noticed we got a cleaned-up and pretty new Boulder Creek Elementary Sign in front of our school. The maintenance department spent time over break fixing it and giving it a facelift. Thank you for helping make our school shine.
We are starting our 21 Days of Kindness Challenge. We will be sending out a separate message with more details. We are excited to have fun with our students and community, spreading kindness over the next 21 days.

Principal, BCE

BCE STEAM Expo February 6 and 7, 2025
BCE STEAM Expo February 6 and 7, 2025. Register Here!
Do you love science experiments? Inventing things? Engineering to solve a problem? If so, this is for you! Any student can participate, TK-5th grade. In addition to traditional projects that follow the scientific method or engineering design process, the STEAM Expo invites projects that are demonstrations or inventions/creations that do not necessarily include testing or evaluating for effectiveness. The STEAM Expo enables students to explore their interests and talents by offering different project types and categories from which students can choose, many of which are directly tied to categories represented in California Science and Engineering Fair (CSEF), the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the Invention Convention.

Don't Forget the Rules for Drop off and Pick up
Drop Off and Pick Up
We have had several issues the past couple of weeks at both drop off and pick up. Please know that all of us out at the cross walk are only trying to keep our students and families safe. I wanted to remind everyone to please first be Kind and Patient. Here are a few reminders about pick up and drop off
- You can drop off on either side of Laurel Street.
- You can NOT drop off coming up on Lomond street.
- You can only leave your car in designated parking spots on Laurel street.
- Make sure you are not parking in front of our neighbors drive ways
- On Lomond Street, you need to park in the right direction. Buses are not able to get through when cars are away from the side and parked in the wrong direction.
- When walking down Lomond Street please use the sidewalk. We have had a few close calls with kids and parents walking in the center of the street.
Thank you everyone for helping ensure safety of all of our students. Below is the parking map again for reference.
Support our Bear Paw Store!
Our students work hard every day and are rewarded with Bear Paws.We have a Bear Paw Store about every 4-6 weeks. Our next Bear Paw Store is Dec. 13th. If you are able, please consider purchasing items from our Amazon Wish List. Donations are appreciated!

PBIS
Positive Behavior Support will continue to be a major focus for BCE this year. Our focus is on the BCE Way - Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible. We give out Bear Paws for making good choices. Bear Paws will be used like cash at the Bear Paw student store. Our first Bear Paw Store was today! Students had a lot of fun! Ask your BCE Bear how they earned Bear Paws.
