Switching Rooms
Parents, this is to notify you that students have begun to travel to different classrooms for their special area classes, WIN support, GOAL, or to different subject area teacher’s classrooms in those grades that are departmentalized (3rd-5th). Before the students enter, the tables/desks/materials are sanitized by the teacher.

Halloween
This year we will be forgoing a Halloween Parade, but that will not stop us from celebrating and having fun! To ensure that each cohort has a chance to celebrate Halloween, we will have two events on Tuesday, October 27th for Cohort 1 and Friday, October 30th for Cohort 2. On these dates, students are permitted to wear their Halloween costume to school. Please note we ask for no face makeup, wigs, or face masks (that are part of a costume). Please be sure whatever students wear will permit them to partake in their regular school day, including Physical Education class and recess. If a child would prefer to dress wacky in lieu of wearing a Halloween costume, that is permitted as well. Each homeroom teacher will prepare a celebration of sorts in their classroom that may include a craft, movie, or game. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

PHOTOS WANTED!
The yearbook committee hopes to include as many BWE in-person and NACA students as possible. However, with our limited ability to be in the school, we are looking for help from our families! We welcome any of the following photos of your BWE / NACA student(s):
- Photos of your student participating in at-home / remote / cyber learning.
- Photos of your student dressed in black & gold or NA gear. If your student is participating in an NA sport / activity in which they wear an NA uniform / attire, we’d especially love to have those photos.
Pictures may be emailed to bweyearbooks@gmail.com
Please note: Only photos of BWE districted students will be eligible for consideration for the yearbook. Photos containing siblings, parents, grandparents, etc. are unable to be included. Additionally, please do not alter the picture size when submitting, as this alters the resolution. We are only able to use clear, high-resolution pictures.

BOX TOPS
Even though Box Tops has gone digital, some products still have unexpired traditional clips. Please send in any clipped Box Tops you have collected to your child’s teacher by Friday, October 23rd.
For those NACA families who wish to participate and support BWE, but aren’t able to send them to school, you may submit yours by mail. For information on how to submit your clipped Box Tops, please visit www.BTFE.com. All Box Tops submissions must be postmarked by November 2nd to be included in our school's next check.
The Box Tops program is almost fully transitioned over to the new digital format, so if you haven’t already, please be sure to download the Box-Tops app and begin scanning your receipts. You also have the ability to submit receipts from online orders as well. Thank you in advance for supporting BWE!

Student Absences
This school year North Allegheny School District will be accepting student absence excuses electronically, through the Tyler SIS Parent Portal.
Student excuses will be submitted through an "E-Form," creating a touchless submission option for parents/guardians. This will reduce the amount of paper transmissions between parents/guardians, students, and our staff. Please review the directions to submit an electronic student excuse below and contact your student's building secretary with any questions.
