Hello BCE Community

I can't believe this is the last newsletter of the year. It has been such a wonderful year. We have had so many ups and downs. I want to thank the BCE community for allowing me to support your students this year. I have truly enjoyed my first year at BCE and can't wait till next year.

We had a wonderful last 5th grade vs. staff kickball game today. The staff took the win but it was so great to run around the bases with the kids and another great way to send them off to middle school next week.

Each student will receive a summer learning book next week. We are hoping to keep the learning going through the summer and hope you will take 10-15 minutes 4 days a week to work in the workbook. If your student is currently using Lexia, or if you would like to use Lexia over the summer, please let us know. All accounts will be open, and a great way to keep the learning going.

We also hope that your students read daily. Summer learning loss is always challenging, so these are just ways to keep up with the skills. Below you'll also find several links and resources for summer learning.

The summer learning book has a roadmap in the front. All students who return the roadmap completed in August can participate in a special event they will not want to miss.

Please remember to complete the online registration for next year. Every student needs to have it complete for them to continue next year. If you have any questions, please call the office.

Next week is a very busy week at BCE. Please make sure you see the calendar below and make sure you wear clothes you can have fun in and maybe get wet in for field day :) We are hoping for good weather.

Please check out the last day of school release times below. Wednesday, 5/31, the release is at 1:15.

The office will be closing for the summer on June 8th. We will re-open again on July 31st. We hope you have a wonderful summer. The district office will be open Monday-Thursday throughout the summer if you have any questions or needs while we are away.

Have a great 3 weekend, everyone, and have a wonderful, safe summer.

NO SCHOOL Monday-

Mrs. Fippin and Office Staff

BCE is sending home a Summer Learning Activity Book with each student this year! The book contains learning activities to help your child retain the gains they made this year and get ready for next year! Make learning a part of your daily routine!

At the back of each book is a map showing their progress as they move through the book!

Every student who completes the activities can bring their filled-in map to school next year to earn a reward!

Here are more learning options:

Many have asked about next year's calendar. We do have a few changes next year, so please take a moment to check it out. One of the big changes is we will be doing conferences in October next year.

See you August 10th.

Please come by the office if you plan to register a new Bear for the 23/24 school year. Registration is open, and knowing how many new students we have early is crucial in determining whether we have adequate staff.

We can't wait to meet our new BEARS!!

Please take a look at all the fantastic parent training happening this summer.
