Happy April Bear Lake families!
Next week begins our STAR Testing for K-2. Parents, please check your teacher's newsletters and the STAR letter below for more information about testing days and how you can preview the test at home.
Attendance and Tardies - it is about that time of year when we see an uptick in absences and tardies. If your child is absent due to illness or a doctor's appointment, you can submit a note online or to your child's teacher to excuse that absence.
Parents please remember that our gates close at 8:35AM for arrival. All students arriving after that time must be escorted by a parent to the front office for sign in. Our staff is unable to keep gates open for students arriving late. We appreciate your support.
In addition, more and more students are arriving late to school and going home early. Our teachers instruct on a schedule from the beginning of the day to the end. Students arriving late to school and/or going home early consistently are missing vital instructional minutes, often in the same subject which can create an academic gap in learning. We appreciate that this could require a change in family schedules and routines and we appreciate your partnership. Thank you for supporting your child's education at BLES!
