Principal Message
BSES Families,
This week both our Kindergarten and first grade classes participated in grade level morning meetings. The beautiful weather allowed us to complete the first grade lunch bunches outside with Mrs. Moschella and Mrs. Silicato's classes.
Many thanks to the Bethel Township Fire Department for sharing safety tips and allowing us a front-row view of a fire truck. Our kindergarten, first and second grade students even got to walk through the truck!
Don't forget that the conference sign-up information went live this week. We look forward to sharing with you student progress in November. Next week we will celebrate Halloween. For more information about this event at BSES, see below.
Take care.
Tara Allen & Susan Papson
Parent Teacher Conferences
Fall conferences will take place from November 20-22. This week you received a letter from your child's teacher with detailed directions about signing up. Be sure to reference step #2 in the letter to ensure you sign up with the noted teachers.
You can access the link to sign up here.
Halloween at BSES
Halloween parties will take place on Tuesday, October 31st! A few notes about costumes:
Costumes must be able to be put on in the classroom over what students wear to school that day.
Please do not send in makeup.
Please avoid costumes that are gruesome. Sometimes students wear different costumes at school and at home depending on each family’s costume choice.
Costume props that are replicas of weapons should stay at home as they are not expected in a school setting.
We are excited to parade during the parties again this year! Parades will be for classmates, staff and homeroom parents only. We will have a live link for families to watch the parade via Zoom. This link will be sent on Halloween morning.
