To protect our students and parents and to make life easier for you, we are not doing our traditional fall fundraiser of selling items door-to-door. Instead, we are offering students a chance to wear jeans and Christmas shirts with accessories for $5.00 December 14^th – 18^th. If you can donate more than $5.00, it would be greatly appreciated since this will replace the normal sales gig. 😊

We would like to invite all students to create hand-made Christmas tree ornaments unique to St. Mary Parish Schools to help decorate the COC Christmas tree. Each school can submit ten hand-made ornaments. Please turn in ornaments to the BES office by Tuesday, December 1st. The COC Staff plan to decorate the tree following the Thanksgiving Break. Thank you for participating! 

BES would like to thank all of our veterans for their service!

The excitement for Halloween is building here at B. E. S. While we know that many of you will probably send treats to school, please note that due to Covid, we cannot accept any homemade treats (no homemade cookies, cupcakes, cakes, etc.). Some of you also enjoy making treats that look like Halloween characters, and in the past we have been able to accept them. However, this year we will not be able to do so. We can only accept store bought treats that are individually wrapped. Any treats that are delivered to school that do not follow the protocol will be sent back home. Thank you for understanding.

We have just learned that K-5 students will once again be split into two groups but only for the first two days of school. Half the students will come on Tuesday, September 8th, and half will come on Wednesday, September 9th. Specific information about when your child/children will attend will be released next week.

The Louisiana Office of Public Health (OPH) has declared that neck gaiters and vented masks are not acceptable forms of face coverings. While we realize parents might have secured these items already, it is out of our control what the health officials deem appropriate to stop the spread of Covid. Please help us keep everyone safe by sending your child with masks that follow the OPH and SMP guidelines. We know this is not ideal, but we want to do everything in our power to keep our children healthy. Thank you.

Attention: the deadline for virtual registration is Wednesday, August 19th at the close of school. If you originally scheduled to go virtual and you want to switch to in person, you must do that by Wednesday as well. Thanks for helping us prepare for an amazing 2020-2021 school year.
