Message from our Principal

Mr. Doug Savage

Attendance line (24-hour answering machine): 513-575-4017.

Parents should call by 9:05 am (school start time) the day of the absence.

The BES annual Talent Show will be on Friday January 26th at 7:00pm. Good

luck to all participating students! Come check it out! Valentines Day parties

(grades K –3 only) will be held on the 14th. Individual grades will share times.

Our PBIS program, for emphasizing and teaching character traits, has engaged

students in our “LiveSchool” points, allowing students to “shop” our on-line

store for various incentives. This year, many students have enjoyed

“experience” rewards — including pizza with the principal, BES Cafe, and

reading to other classes.

Sixth Grade Information:

Next week, sixth grade students will take a math and reading assessment

(AimsWeb Plus) that will provide academic data to the Junior High staff for

scheduling and class placement purposes. The students will take the reading

and math assessments on separate days, with each assessment taking no more

than an hour’s time.

On Tuesday, January 30th, staff from the Junior High will meet with sixth

graders to begin the process of discussing schedules and an overall question /

answer session. The following day, January 31st, Junior High staff will meet

with sixth grade parents in a meeting at 7:30pm, in the BES cafeteria.
