🎉 Day 4 Update – House Attendance Challenge 🎉

Congratulations to Innovation House for taking the win today! 💡💚 Your commitment to showing up and being present is paying off.

But the biggest question remains… 👀
👉 Will any House rise to the greatest challenge and achieve 100% attendance before the end of the competition?

Every day counts, every Gator matters. Let’s see who shows up strong tomorrow! 🐊💪

Day 4 Attendance Challenge Flyer
STRONG ATTENDANCE = STRONG LEARNING 💪🍎

When students are in class every day, they gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed.

Attendance always matters, but October 6-10 is especially important. That's the week the state takes its enrollment snapshot to decide school funding for the year.

✅ Students in class = accurate snapshot = the right funding to support stronger schools in our A-rated District and better opportunities for our kids.

Let's work together to make sure our students are here next week—it makes a difference for everyone.

Our 2nd graders are at it again! Our incredible 2nd graders have been working hard and showing what it means to be curious, creative learners! In math, they’ve been exploring a variety of strategies to solve problems, and even taking their learning outside-one student used leaves at recess to build arrays! In writing, they’re crafting thoughtful  opinion essays, learning how to express their ideas clearly and confidently.  In social studies, they’ve been traveling the globe (through books and maps!) as they learn about the continents and oceans. They’ve also been visiting the Media Center to grow their love of reading and discover new books. 📚 Keep up the amazing work, 2nd graders- we’re so proud of you! #BCEGators #LearninginAction #UnstoppableTogether

🍎 Apple Centers Day was a fun, multisensory experience where our learners explored math, phonics, and arts & crafts through hands-on activities! Our students showed incredible engagement as they immersed themselves in each station, and we wrapped up with moments of reflection, thinking about what we learned and how we learned it. A perfect blend of creativity, curiosity, and connection! 🍏📚 #BCEGators #LearningInAction #UnstoppableTogether

🎉🏆 House Attendance Challenge Starts Monday, September 29th! 🏆🎉

Gator Families, get ready! Our House Attendance Challenge kicks off this Monday! Each day, we’ll track attendance by House and award bonus points to any House that reaches 100% attendance. Which House will come out on top? 🐊

Why does attendance matter? Because every day in school builds success!
🌟 Students who attend regularly are more likely to read on grade level by 3rd grade. This is a key milestone for future success.
🌟 Consistent attendance helps students build confidence, friendships, and strong learning habits that last a lifetime.
🌟 Kids who come to school every day are more likely to graduate high school and chase their dreams in college, careers, and beyond.

Let’s show our "Bessey Best" by being on time, present, and ready to learn each and every day! 💪✨

👉 Families, we need your help! Make sure your Gator is at school on time daily so their House can earn points AND set them up for success.
