Hello BCE Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful week off. It was great to have the kids back at school. This week the staff talked about each student's data and what our next steps are for Spring intervention. We will start a new round of ELA and Math intervention starting next Tuesday. Students will be bringing home letters if they are starting intervention or graduating from intervention. We will also be sending home report cards next Friday, 3/7. If you have any questions about intervention or your student's report card, please contact your classroom teacher.

Before break, students got to shop at the Bear Paw Store using the Bear Paws they earned for following the BCE Way Shout out to our BCE Bears for being safe, respectful, and responsible! Thank you to our parent volunteers for helping, and to families for the Amazon prize donations.

Have a great weekend.

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.
