Reminder- Schools are closed Monday, Nov. 2nd and Tuesday, Nov. 3rd for professional development. Quarter 1 ends tomorrow, Oct. 30th, and report cards will be issued Friday, Nov. 6th. We hope everyone has a safe Halloween and enjoys their 4 day weekend!

Hello Parents,
We have encountered a lot of questions about if we will be holding a daytime costume parade. Please note that we will NOT be holding our traditional daytime Costume Parade this year. With Halloween falling on the weekend and future limited outdoor space due to school construction beginning this spring, we have made the decision to transition away from the daytime parade.
Instead, we encourage parents and students to attend our evening parent involvement event: Math Trails and Campfire Tales + Trunk or Treat on Thursday evening from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM!
• Pre-registration for Thursday evening is highly recommended! You can pre-register here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/HNJG7YybtK
Red Ribbon Week & Dress-Up Reminders for Thursday
• K–4th Grade: Students are invited to wear Halloween costumes or bring their costumes to school (leave the props at home). Fall, orange, or Halloween-themed clothing is a great, easy-to-wear alternative to ensure costumes stay in top trick-or-treat condition for the weekend!
• PreK 3 & 4: Students may wear skeleton or Halloween-themed clothing/shirts to help make managing restrooms easier for students throughout their day.
Friday is House Colors Day! Wear your house colors or BES gear to show your school spirit!


Mark your calendars for Wednesday, November 11th from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM at the Berlin McDonald's!
Come enjoy dinner and see your favorite teachers serving up smiles and meals behind the counter! A portion of all sales directly benefits BES.
Bring your family, invite your friends, and help us support BES! We can't wait to see you there!

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible bus drivers! Rain or shine, early mornings and late afternoons, you keep our students safe and bring bright smiles to their daily commutes. You carry our most precious cargo, and we couldn't do it without you! 🌟
Drivers, motorists, and families—let's all do our part:
🛑 Stop when red lights flash & stop arms extend
🚶 Slow down in school zones & near bus stops
👀 Stay alert around students crossing


Showing up to school every day helps students build routines, stay connected, and succeed academically! We encourage families to check out this helpful resource from Attendance Works: "Help Your Child Do Well in School: Build the Habit of Good Attendance."
Understanding Attendance:
🟢 0–9 days absent: Good Standing
🟡 10–17 days absent: At Risk
🔴 18+ days absent: Chronically Absent
Important Attendance Reminders:
Families may submit up to 10 parent notes per school year to excuse absences.
Please submit doctor's notes as soon as possible so absences can be coded correctly.
Even excused absences count toward chronic absenteeism. Students who miss 18 or more school days are considered chronically absent, regardless of whether doctor's notes have been submitted.
We understand that illnesses and unexpected circumstances happen! Our goal is to work together with families to support consistent attendance and help every student succeed.
Every school day matters!

Dr. Annette Wallace is bringing Diet Coke with the Supt to the Berlin McDonald’s (near Walmart) on Tuesday, November 3, from 5:00–6:30 p.m.
Dr. Wallace is looking forward to a evening of casual conversation with our families and community members. There’s no agenda and no presentation — just a chance to grab a seat, share what’s on your mind, and talk about the schools and students we all care about.
Stop by, say hello, and stay for a chat. #WeAreWorcester #ListeningLeader
