Message from the Principal
Dear BEC Families,
We did it! We've reached the final month of what has been an incredible school year. As we look back, we are simply breathless by the amount of growth your children have demonstrated.
Across every classroom, we witness new academic milestones being reached, social-emotional skills blossoming, and a wonderful surge in independence. You should be so incredibly proud of everything your child has accomplished this year – we certainly are!
Our classroom teachers have recently shared details about our annual Flight of the Bumble Bees Blast Off Celebration for our children who will be moving on to Kindergarten. This is always such a joyous and fun way to celebrate their achievements and send our little ones off to big kid school. We look forward to this special event every year.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership throughout this amazing year. We are excited to make this last month a memorable one for your children.
Warmly,
Dr. Crystal Hunter Director/Principal
Principal/Director

Ready or Not, Kindergarten Here We Come!
Is your child Kindergarten bound? You do NOT need to enroll, register or sign up for a screening. We have taken care of all of that for you! So sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of your Pre-K experience. We have your child enrolled, screened and ready for their Kindergarten year in the WSD.
Get to know your child's new elementary school at Cruising Into Kindergarten! The goal of this event is to help incoming kindergartners become more familiar with their new school, and to help ease kindergarten jitters with a fun, interactive tour. Your child may even make some new friends along the way! School staff will also be in attendance to share information about your child's new school with you.
