Principal's Pen

We look forward to a great week of teaching and learning in Cougar Country! 

Calendar Reminder - As a reminder school will not be in session on Monday, February 17th due to a teacher workday.

Cougars Rock - Congratulations to our Mathapalooza team! We are so proud of your accomplishments! You represented our school well at the District competition. Thank you Mrs. Schwartz for coaching our third grade math team this school year.

Lunch Visitors - When visitors report to the school, please sign-in in the front office in order to receive a visitor's badge. We have a system that is in place in CMS schools that will require each visitor to sign into the Lobby Guard system with a valid ID when entering the school. This procedure will ensure your child's safety at all times. As a reminder, we ask that we limit it to 3 guests per student.

Do you want to help mentor boys in our community while getting some exercise and having fun? Join Let Me Run as a volunteer coach at BCE! We are looking for volunteer coaches to lead a team of 3rd-5th grade boys for the spring season, which begins in mid-March. Let Me Run is a 7-week program that uses the power of running and a comprehensive wellness curriculum to help prepare boys for the long run. It’s a great program for our boys, and we need volunteers like you to make it happen at BCE.
