This is our January Capturing Kids Hearts Newsletter that was sent home with students earlier this week. Our CKH word for January is Respect. Teaching our students to respect others at school is very important for creating a positive and learning environment.

BES Food Menu: Week of January 13th
This month with Capturing Kids Heart, we’re focusing on respect, which comes in many forms: respect for life, for property, for parents, for elders, for nature, and for the beliefs and rights of others. Respect includes being courteous and polite, as well as respecting yourself by avoiding self-criticism. We can model respect for our children regarding how we speak to and treat them. Respect is not only an important character trait, but it can also be a source of real joy! Respect implies a certain appreciation, which makes us more aware of other people’s needs and feelings.
Good school attendance means consistently being present and punctual at school, which is important for academic success and personal development. It reflects a student's commitment to their education, helps them stay up to date with lessons, and builds habits of responsibility. ♥️🐾

Just a reminder that Friday is a half day for students!
Dear BES Families,
A student is typically not too sick to attend school if they have mild symptoms, such as a slight cold, and are still able to focus and participate in class.
However, if a student has more severe symptoms, like a fever or is experiencing significant discomfort, it is best to keep them home to rest and prevent the spread of illness.
If a child is absent due to illness, it's important for parents to ensure that a doctor's note or excuse is provided to the school to clarify the reason for the absence and to support their return to class when they are fully recovered. This helps maintain accurate attendance records and ensures the child receives the proper accommodations.
