All parties at BES and BIS are from 8:15-9:15am on Thursday, December 21.

Guests should wait in their cars or in the main office hallway until 8:15. Guests are welcome to walk items to the classroom prior to the party, but asked to return to the main hallway until it is time for the parties to begin.

Just a reminder that we also have an early release on Thursday, December 21.

We often have parents ask about treating teachers this time of year and wanted to make this list easy to find. There is no obligation, of course, but if you were looking to treat your teacher, click the button below to see what they enjoy!

We want to recognize the wonderful things our students are doing outside of school in addition to their accomplishments at school. Whether it's playing in a soccer game or winning a karate tournament, we would love to showcase and celebrate our students! Please fill out the form below letting us know of anything special your student is doing outside of school (and include pictures if you can!) These will be featured on display screens throughout the school. We will continue to have this form available in future newsletters and on our school website so you can access it any time!

For the month of November, the topic we focused on in Counseling was positivity. Throughout this month, we focused on a few different things that have to do with this topic. We talked about having a positive mindset, which included a discussion about trying to focus on the good in any situation. We also discussed the topic of gratitude and the importance of trying to think of things we are grateful for on a regular basis. In addition, we had a discussion about how we can be more positive and feel better overall if we focus our time and attention on things that bring us joy. Make sure to check back in about a month for another update on what we are doing in Counseling!

All parents (grades K-5) are welcome to join Home & School! This is our version of a PTA and provides an opportunity for parents to become involved with the school by taking leadership in planning yearly teacher appreciation incentives, extra-curricular events, and support for students and teachers. Meetings are held monthly and anyone can join at any time!
