Principal’s Note
Here we are about 5 weeks from the start of school! I saw many families at the 4th of July parade this past Friday. If you weren’t there, I hope the 4th of July festivities were full of great fun.
Information for returning families about completing the D38 Annual Update information came out in an e-mail last week. For any returning families, please complete it by 7/31. It allows us to get updated information for our students.
We also have a great partnership opportunity with the Monument Fire Department coming up the week of 7/14. There may be lots of Emergency Vehicles in the BCES East Side Parking lot during this week. More details are below.
Our offices will continue to be closed for the summer through July 21. More specific information is below.
Enjoy the rest of the break from the school year routines and we look forward to welcoming our students back in August.
Hazmat Response Drill in East Side Parking Lot
Bear Creek and Lewis Palmer School District have a great partnership opportunity with the Monument Fire Department that we are excited to host. On Monday 7/14, Wednesday 7/16, and Friday 7/18 from 8:30-3:30, there will be a full scale Hazmat Response Drill in our East Side parking lot. A point to note is that families may see lots of Emergency Response Vehicles in our East Lot on these days participating in this exercise, but all is good at the school. We are happy to partner with the Monument Fire Department to support this event!
