Dear Parents,
The fourth marking period of the school year is
passing quickly! The staff is working hard to keep
children motivated. They increase the engagement
of children through the use of technology, hands-on
activities and field trips (“in house” and off site). The
children have opportunities to collaborate throughout
the school day. Teacher supervised “brain breaks”
are taken throughout the week to promote positive
social and emotional learning experiences. We
believe that all of this will help students be successful
as the year progresses.
*******
As June approaches, planning for the 2015-16 school
year is underway. If you know of any families moving
to within the BFES boundaries please remind them to
contact the school about enrollment. A child is
eligible for kindergarten if he or she is five years old
by September 1. (Note: BFES does not house any
preschool programs.)
*******
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. We are
proud of our staff, all of whom contribute to making
BFES a great place to teach and learn. They are
especially grateful when they hear from you about
ways in which they’ve helped your child grow.
We appreciate all of the parental support you provide
to our school and look forward to a seeing you at
upcoming events.
