Hello Families,

We are pleased to share that the BES Student Council will be getting started in November. Student Council is a leadership opportunity for students. The school counselors will share all of the necessary information with all 3rd-5th grade classrooms.

Linked here are the role descriptions and general eligibility requirements.

Officer positions require an application that is available in your child’s Google Classroom. Classroom representative positions will be an in-class vote and does not require an application.

If your child has further questions, please encourage them to connect with their teachers or Ms. Wooten and Ms. Bowser.

Dates and Deadlines

• All applications for officer position must be submitted by November 3rd.

• Students may "campaign" or bring in posters the week of November 6th-10th.

• Voting will occur on November 14th.

• Meetings will occur on the third Friday of the month from 8:45-9:15 am.

BES Student Council General Requirements

In order to run for a position or be nominated as a class representative, the student:

• May not have any behavior referrals for the school year

• Must maintain 3s in work habits and behavior as indicated on report cards

Funding from Wake County and the State doesn’t cover all of Briarcliff’s needs. That’s where the PTA helps and you can, too! To continue funding all the great events and activities at Briarcliff, we need to raise $15,000 by December 1.

If we all pitch in, everybody wins! Plus, the more you contribute, the more chances you have to win one of our fabulous prizes: gift cards from Food Lion, Target, Amazon, and VISA. If you contribute $250+, you could win a Cut-the-Line Carpool spot until the end of the school year! And, if we hit our $15K goal, the entire school will get a pizza and ice cream party with Beau the Bulldog!
