Mrs. Woodard,
Elementary School Counselor
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Last month I introduced parents of 4/5 and 6th-grade students to Bellevue Christian School's sex education curriculum, "Growing Up Godly." This curriculum is taught once a year to students elementary students in 4/5 and 6th grade. Boys and girls are separated by grade level and gender and taught by their classroom teacher as well as a few male teachers at Bellevue Christian School. This year it will be taught on Feb. 26 from 1:30-2:30pm. We want you to have the opportunity to review the material in advance.
You are welcome to view the materials HERE. There are links to an overview for each grade level (4/5 and 6th) as well as curriculum materials. There is also a waiver if you would like to opt your child out of the lesson. If you plan to opt your child out of this teaching, please send the waiver form to us before Monday, Feb. 22. Thank you!
If you have any questions, please reach out to me at devon.woodard@bellevuechristian.org.

Reminders:
-
At morning for drop-off, when pulling into the car chute, please stay to the far right, hugging the red curb so that others can get by you on the left to fill in empty spaces for temperature checks.
- Before leaving the line on the right, check to be certain no one is passing by you on the left. We've had some close calls and we want everyone to stay safe.
-
At afternoon pick-up, please wait your turn, avoid going around to fill in empty spaces. Please patiently wait your turn to move forward and pick up your child(ren).
Thank you for your cooperation. Having everyone's cooperation helps us keep our students, staff and families safe during drop-off and pick-up.

You may also call the front office at (425) 454-3977. If your child will miss 2 days or more in a row (due to something other than illness), we ask that you complete a Planned Absence Form two weeks prior to the absence. Thank you.

Preschool Celebrates Valentine's Day!
Preschool students celebrated Valentine’s Day with a week filled with spying God’s love. Children looked for God’s love in Bible stories, evidenced in the world around us, and through family and friends. Children retold stories, wrote many, many letters and notes, identified and extended patterns, counted jewel hearts, practiced fine motor skills cutting symmetrical heart shapes, experimented with heart shapes and cookie cutters in ‘snow’, exercised large motor skills with bean bag tic-tac-toe, and so much more. The week culminated with a valentine's celebration! What sweet groups the classes are. Our Preschool teachers are focused on what it looks like to share God’s love with others. Valentine’s Day provides opportunities to demonstrate this important theme.
