Families, due to an outage over the weekend, phone lines across all schools in WCPS have been impacted, including BES. WCPS IT is working to have this resolved and quickly as possible; however, in the meantime, you can reach us by emailing Mrs. Parsons at DBParsons@worcesterk12.org, and all transportation changes can be made via School Dismissal Manager. We will notify you when the issue has been resolved. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Red Ribbon Week is here! We'll be celebrating with special spirit days all week, culminating in our annual Costume Parade on Friday.
Please remember that students should bring their costumes in their backpack and will change right before the parade. A friendly reminder: please leave extra accessories/costume props at home so everyone can participate safely.

Congratulations to our very own Quinn Westbrook who was announced yesterday as one of the first recipients of the Superintendent’s new Surge Awards! Quinn earned the Resilient Voltage Award for perseverance!
The Resilient Voltage Award honors students who face adversity head-on, never letting setbacks define them. Like the surge protector that absorbs the unexpected and keeps systems running smoothly, these students demonstrate unyielding perseverance, pushing through challenges and inspiring others to do the same. Their resilience is a powerful reminder that growth often comes through overcoming obstacles. Congratulations Quinn!

Today we celebrated our BESt Bus Drivers with coffee and donuts as a small token of our appreciation during National School Bus Safety Week!
These dedicated folks are the unsung heroes of our mornings and afternoons. They're more than just drivers; they're the first friendly face many children see at the start of the day, and the last comforting presence on the ride home. They navigate all kinds of traffic and weather, keep dozens of kids focused and safe, and manage complex routes with absolute professionalism.
Thank you, school bus drivers, for your unwavering commitment, your patience, and your essential service to our communities! We see you, and we appreciate you!
