Happy Winter, BCSS Community!

As we head into the end of the year and Winter Break, I just want to say thank you to all of the students, staff and family who make our school such a wonderful place to be.

Check out this slide show of Library Winter Words. Ms. Axon and our students found books, music, and videos to bring these quotes to life yesterday, and it feels like a great way to brighten our journey into winter.

Have a lovely break, and we'll see you next year!

Kindly,

Hi!

Ridwell has extended an invitation for us to bring up to 50 BCSS community members (staff students parents etc) to tour the Ridwell factory if we can sign up another 10 families by Feb 28th. I think a school trip would be awesome especially to get the kids excited about lifelong reduce, reuse, recycle!

Can you please help spread the word?

Thanks!

Anne

Here is the new info just for us!

SUN Update

Hi parents, Students had lots of fun this fall term in SUN! This is the last week of the term.

Winter term will start February 3 and end March 21 (before spring break). Enrollment and interest forms will be going out to students when we are back from winter break (mid January). Please keep a look out. If your student has attended any after school activities this term they will not need to fill out an enrollment form, only an interest form for classes. If students are new to after school activities they will need to fill out an enrollment form. Students only need to complete one a year. If your student has been in ANY after school activities so far and you don’t remember doing one or have not completed one. Please stop by the office to complete a copy. They are mandatory for any student staying after school. We want to keep students safe and this is the way we can know who is in the building after hours.

If you have questions or would like to double check if we have your students form, email me at marisol@latnet.org.

Thank you!
