Dear BCE Families,
Hard to Believe! ~ We are right at the halfway mark of the 2021-2022 school year. As we look back to that start of the year, a lot has happened and it’s been another year like we’ve never experienced before. While there have certainly been challenging times for all of us, there has also been a lot of joy and appreciation. The joy of having our students back on campus and watching them grow academically and socially is what keeps us motivated, even during the craziest of days. The appreciation that we receive from our families, students and colleagues reminds us that how we, as adults, handle the challenges that come our way teaches our students life lessons in addition to growing as readers, writers and mathematicians. Thank you for being our partner in this journey of the 2021-22 school year at BCE.
Covid ~ If your student has any Covid symptoms, please do not bring them to school or put them on a bus. Please call the attendance line (831-338-2887) to let us know. We want to be smart and vigilant as we move forward from Winter Break. Students coming to school with symptoms will create positive cases on our campus and we want to keep our BCE family safe.
Reminder ~ see the link below to sign your student up for weekly Covid screening and/or Covid testing in the case of positive close contact at school. Registration will give permission for both weekly and close contact testing, however if you would like to opt of weekly screening and opt in for close contact testing only, you can email our Health Clerk, Kat Gafford ([email protected]) and let her know your preference (Be sure to include your student’s name, grade and teacher.) Registration before exposure allows us to respond quickly to close contact exposures and support the health and safety of all our students.
Parents are able to opt out of weekly screenings, but opt into exposure testing only by emailing [email protected]. After you register, please send Ms. Gafford an email stating you would like to opt your student out of the weekly screening, but keep them in the exposure only screenings. Be sure to include your student’s name, grade and teacher.
