Dear Bear Creek Families,

Check those backpacks. Middle of the Year MAP reports went home today. It is exciting to see the progress our Cubs are making and celebrate the gains. Your child's teacher will be able to answer specific questions you may have about the assessment. On Thursday's Coffee with the Principal, I will review overall campus highlights and share the ways we have grown!
