One of our favorite days in spring is the Book Fair! Students will be attending the book fair during their regular library class times. This year, parents have the opportunity to put money on an E-Wallet. Your child brought home a book flyer and on the back there is more information and the QR code. You can also scan the picture below. All purchase proceeds at our Book Fair go back to our library to purchase more books for our students. Thanks for supporting this exciting event!

Here is the Book Fair's website...

Student Tips

• Have a positive attitude-- your teachers have prepared you and will continue to. Come to school each day with a great attitude and you will go FAR!!
• Eat breakfast-- at home or at school, but please eat a good breakfast and get some nourishment each day. It will make a difference.
• Get plenty of rest- Summer is on your mind, however, we aren't quite there yet. We need you alert and focused every day.
• Work hard and have fun- There will be times that you are going to have to work hard and be focused and there will be times when your teachers give you the opportunities to have recess, go on field trips, and have fun. Accept the challenge of working hard and staying focused and having fun at those times, too!
• Don't forget your glasses! If you wear glasses, please bring them and wear them each day.

Parent Tips

• Have a positive attitude-- just like your children, it makes a huge difference when you have a positive attitude about school and what your children are learning and doing at BES. Thanks for encouraging them (and their teachers)!
• Read through the tips above with your children. Talk to them about why attitude, rest, eating well, and working hard...not to mention having fun, are important! We truly appreciate your support on these tips and truly can't wait to see how well your child does in these last few weeks with us all working together.
• If your child takes medicine, please make sure they take it each day. It can really make a difference...especially during assessment time!
• Let us and the teacher know if you have any questions or concerns...we are always here to help!!
• Write the above testing dates on your calendar...they are big windows of time, and with the nature of these tests, they are taken over multiple days, so each one of these days matter.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND ALL YOU DO FOR YOUR CHILD!! We are looking forward to seeing how amazing they do the remainder of the year!!

We are excited for our annual Summer Camp opportunity for our students and their families. We have extended our hours from 7 AM - 6 PM to help families who need child care over the summer months. The cost of the camp is $150/ week for one student and $140/ week for each student if there is more than one in the family attending. If you have any questions about summer camp, the phone numbers and emails are in the flyer below. Thanks!
