We are excited to welcome our newest Tigers in for Tiger Tours after school on the following dates:
· Thursday, June 6 at 3:30
· Tuesday, June 11 at 3:00
Parents/Guardians with new students can check in at the office if attending these sessions that will be held in the BBES Library. These sessions will start with an opportunity to share information, Q & A sessions, and some staff introductions. The tours will then be led by staff in smaller numbers depending on the number in attendance and staff at each session.
Also, we are in the process of scheduling screenings of our incoming K students. Parents/guardians can contact Mrs. Bowles, our registrar, to schedule a time for this screening. This is when a staff member sits one-on-one with the student to get to work with them to show what the student may know about beginning K readiness skills. Please know there are no expectations of what students should or should not know as incoming K students, but it gives us a snapshot of each student's abilities.
Looking forward to seeing many of our new tigers for the Tiger Tours and/or K Screenings!

The 2024-25 PTA is still currently seeking a VP of Programs to be on the Exec Board, as well as Chairs for the Spirit Wear Committee, Sunshine Committee, and 5th Grade Celebration. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!
