Hello BCE Community,

Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make the carnival such a wonderful event last night, to the parent club that supported and organized, and to all the teachers who volunteered their time. It looked like all the kids had a wonderful time. Seeing them all run and have fun brought smiles to everyone's faces. We will share pictures next week.

Below are directions on how to register for next year. Each student needs to register to be placed in a class. You should have received an email this past week. Please let the office know if you haven't received the email. Please complete the online registration ASAP so we can place each student. You will not receive a class placement in the fall without completing the online registration. Please reach out if we can be of any help.

Due to our volunteer tea, we will have a menu change this week on Wednesday. All students will make a bag lunch and have a big picnic on the lawn area.

We are moving into our final school year countdown—lots of events and fun. We hope all families can help us by talking with your students about spring behavior. We have seen a big uptick in unsafe and unkind behavior on campus. We have had many class meetings and conversations to remind everyone about the BCE Way.

The 5th grade promotion is on Wednesday, June 4th, at 9:00 a.m. on the upper field. Drop-off that day is always busy. Please remember that we don't have any extra parking on campus, so please plan for time to park off campus.

Have a great weekend, 14 days till the end of the year :)

Gerri Fippin

Principal, BCE

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.
