PROMOTION INFORMATION - WEDNESDAY, MAY 27TH - 9:30-11:00
ENTERING CAMPUS:
Students need to be dropped off by 9:00; they are to walk directly to their classroom.
All visitors must sign-in as they enter campus. Sign in sheets will be located at the main entrance on Denver Street, and at the south side of the blacktop by the blue play structure.
If you enter after 9:00, you will need to enter through the main entrance on Denver Street.
CEREMONY:
Students are encouraged to dress to impress. We ask that there are no hats or sunglasses worn. We also encourage no heels on shoes.
Seating is on a first come, first serve basis. We request that chairs be used for immediate family members.
Due to the promotion being outside, we recommend putting on sunscreen or wearing a hat, as it may be sunny. There is no shade provided.
EXITING CAMPUS:
At the completion of promotion, students will be reunited with family members at the south side of the blacktop by the blue play structure.
Students who are NOT leaving campus with family members will return to their classroom for the remainder of the school day.
Students who ARE leaving campus with family members must sign their students out on the class rosters located on the tables by the blue play structure.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Because they block the view of others, we ask that you do not bring helium balloons on campus for promotion.
Thursday, May 29th is a school day. 5th graders still need to attend the last day of school. If your student is not going to attend, you will need to call the office to clear their absence.

Her heart, resilience, and commitment to every child uplift our entire community.
Thank you, Mrs. Pecina, for inspiring excellence every single day.
Her hard work, heart and unstoppable commitment keep our campus running smoothly each and every day.
Thank you, Ms. Holly, for all that you do for our students, staff, and families.
This is a friendly reminder to all families to please be respectful and considerate of our neighbors during daily drop-off and pick-up. Kindly avoid parking in red zones, blocking driveways, double parking, or stopping in crosswalks. These safety guidelines help protect our students and maintain positive relationships within our community. We appreciate your continued partnership in showing kindness and respect to those who live and work around our school.
For student safety, campus supervision begins when the gates open. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, gates A, F, & H open at 8:40 a.m. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, gates open at 8:30 a.m. for students attending Jogging Club on the lower field. Please note that there is NO SUPERVISION on the blacktop before these times, so students should not be dropped off early.
If parents or family members plan to be on campus during the school day, you MUST check in at the front office and wear a visitor sticker while on campus.
Beginning AFTER Spring Break, gates A, F, & H will open 2 minutes before the final bell to help maintain a safe campus during the school day. On Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, gates will open at 3:33 p.m., and on Wednesdays they will open at 12:58 p.m.
At dismissal, we kindly ask that anyone picking up students remain outside of the hallways, as teachers are working to safely dismiss students and ensure everyone exits campus in a timely manner.
Thank you for helping us keep our Stingrays safe! 🐟
If your child will be absent, you can always call the main office to let us know. Another quick and easy option is to email Ms. Dena Truelove at dtruelove@sandi.net or text if you have received a text message from Ms. Truelove or Ms. Holly
We work to update attendance by 10:30 each morning. Please keep in mind that if you only notify the teacher, the office may not get the message and you could still receive the automatic absence call.
BPE PTA CORNER
Picture this: a packed Family Dance floor with kids dancing and laughing, parents sneaking out for a well-deserved Parents Night Out, or families coming together at Dine & Donate to support our school—these are the moments that make BPE absolutely unforgettable for our students!
PTA needs a few awesome parents to chair these three committees - the roles are fun and require way less work than you'd think. By stepping up, you'll be the hero who makes your students' year truly special—so if you're ready to create some serious magic, we'd LOVE to have you on the team! Email Bekah Tholking r.tholking@gmail.com if you’re interested!
