Dear BCE families and staff,
I hope you have enjoyed your weekend. Here are the announcements for the week.
Our schoolwide attendance rates have begun to drop. Our goal is for 95% or more of students to be present at school each day. This is very important to our school funding and accountability ratings. Please continue to help us meet our daily attendance goal by ensuring that your children are at school, on time, and in uniform each day. Congratulations to 4th grade students for leading our school in attendance last week. Thank you to our PTA for providing a treat to students with perfect attendance!
We have several activities this week.
Gifted and Talented testing continues for eligible 2nd and 3rd grade students.
We will host a parent meeting on Tuesday at 9:00 am in the library at BCE. The focus will be parenting skills, communication, and creating a positive home environment. All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.

On Thursday, 4th & 5th grade students will visit Cornerstone Middle School to view their fall play. 2nd grade students will visit the AYAM museum. Parents, please sign and return the permission forms as soon as possible.
Join us at Mia's Table on Thursday from 11 am to 9 pm for BCE Spirit Day! Proceeds from sales will benefit the BCE PTA. The class that returns the most receipts earns a free ice cream and cookie party sponsored by Mia's Table.

Good morning, BCE families and staff,
I hope you have enjoyed your weekend. Here are the announcements for the week.
Thank you to all of the parents and staff who attended and volunteered at our Fall Festival. We had a really fun time. We also enjoyed our first Family Lunch Bunch of the year.
Thank you for making time to connect with your child’s teachers for parent conferences. If you have not met with your teacher yet, please get in touch with them as soon as possible to schedule one.
Congratulations to 4th grade, who led our school in attendance this week! Our overall attendance rate has decreased a bit. Please continue to help us reach our goals by ensuring that your children are at school, on time, and in uniform each day. Please call the school or send a note when your children are out sick.
Every BCE student received 5 free books through our partnership with the Barbara Bush Houston Foundation. We hope that your family will enjoy reading them together.
Based on the parents who received tech support last week, there are two common problems that you may be able to resolve on your own if you are still experiencing issues connecting to the district’s new communication app. Please download the SBISD TX app and make sure your contact information on file with the school is up to date.
A verification form will be sent home this week. Please review it and update your information as needed. Please also remember that we need at least two emergency contacts in addition to the parent. We understand that many parents cannot answer their phones at work; however, we must be able to contact someone in the event of an emergency.
We have many things happening this week:
This week is Red Ribbon Week, where we promote making good choices and living healthy, drug-free lives. The theme for each day was sent home in your child's Friday Folder.
As part of Red Ribbon Week, we will have our annual Book Character Parade on Friday. Students may wear a school-appropriate costume on this day. They are encouraged to bring a book featuring their character. No masks, weapons, scary, or gory outfits are allowed. Students will be asked to change or remove these items. Parents are welcome to join our parade via Zoom. A link will be sent later this week.
We have a spirit night at Cosmic Ice Cream from noon to 9:30. Be sure to mention BCE so proceeds from your sale can support our school.
We will have state officials visit our school on Wednesday. Please help us represent our school with excellence. Make sure all students are present, on time, and ready to learn.
Finally, we will host our Bison Store on Friday. A sign-up link will be sent soon for parents who are able to volunteer.
Thank you for your partnership and have a great week!
