Hello BCE Families,

Reminder that we do not have school next Friday, 3/14. We have a teacher professional development day. Enjoy the long weekend.

All students should bring home a report card today and updated goals and objectives for those with an IEP. If, for some reason, you don't get one, please reach out to your teacher. Don't hesitate to get in touch with your teacher if you have any questions regarding your report card.

A big shout out to the Parents Club for putting on a wonderful Science Night. It was so fun and engaging. I can't wait until next year. Take a look at some pictures below!

A big shout out to our librarian, Mrs. Callahan, for organizing our Read Across America week and for getting all the mystery readers. Our students enjoyed guessing who the guest reader was.

Here are a few things that happened this week and some important notes...

• We had a great week at BCE. All students started their iReady tests. This will be our 3rd and final assessment for iReady math and ELA this year. Results will be coming home in the coming weeks.
• Please see below for the Vigilant Parent Training. This is a great opportunity to learn more about managing your kid's technology. You must sign up to attend. Childcare is provided. Pizza for parents!
• Thank you to all the parents who joined us for our monthly awards assembly this morning. Take a look at the pictures below. This month, we celebrated BCE Bears for showing respect.

Have a great weekend,

Gerri Fippin

Principal, Boulder Creek Elementary

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.
