Hello Team,

 

Wow! I guess summer decided to show up for it's last weekend :) I hope that you all were able to get out and doing something that brings you joy in the sunshine. It was a busy but rewarding first week for me at BES. I didn't get out into classrooms as much as I had anticipated but I'm hoping to make more rounds this week! My brother got married on Saturday and the weather couldn't have been better. I'm heading into the week a little less prepared then normal but with a full heart and lots of hope! 

Here are a few interesting articles:

Let's make it a great week! 

Be Well,

Celia

Important Reminders: 

• Here is the BES Schedule Folder. If you haven't already please make sure to upload your individual class schedules. This allows us to best support students, it also gives me an idea of what you've got going on in your classrooms when. 
• Team Meeting/PLC Time will start next week.
• BES Community Building Here is the document that I promised after the second day of inservice. We agreed that people could volunteer for one month of the year and that the group of people would do something to 'spoil' the staff. Please sign up for a time that works best for you if you're so inclined. 
• School Pictures are the 19th of September.
