Bells Corners PS

The month of September has been a busy one here at BCPS. Educators have been getting to know your student and understanding their learning profiles. The Junior classes (gr. 4 to 6) were treated to a Larkin Mosscrop presentation from the Canadian Nuclear Labs to discuss energy options and conservation. Students engaged in interactive activities and even received some pretty cool sunglasses! Students have been participating in Terry Fox fundraising activities, Cross Country tryouts for grades 4-6 and primary DOT day. We are grateful to our dedicated educators who lead these great activities. Our BCPS educators are looking forward to welcoming families to our September 28th Meet the Educator Night!

Dear BCPS friends and families, The Terry Fox National Schools Run Day at Bells Corners P.S. this year will be on Friday, September 22, 2023. Every year thousands of children lace up their running shoes to walk and run to help raise awareness and funds for cancer research. To date, over $850 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in Terry's name. At BCPS, we are proud to be part of this great cause! Last year our school raised a bit over $1300. Our goal this year is to at least match this amount. The following is a link to our school’s fundraising page: https://schools.terryfox.ca/BellsCornersPSNepean Let’s keep Terry’s dream alive and show our Bulldog spirit! All this week we are accepting donations for the Canadian Cancer Society. You can bring your coins to school or donate online - no amount is too little, every cent counts!

What a great first week of school! Educators and students were excited to get the school year started. Educators have been working on creating community within their classrooms and throughout the school. The most important aspect of the first few weeks of school is establishing routines, understanding expectations, and enjoying the space they will be spending the next 10 months in. This week in our daily announcements, the theme has been about “new beginnings”. A new school year brings on new goals and a fresh start to shine. Many of our walls in our halls share positive messages to our students about this year being “their year”.

Welcome to our 2023/2024 school year! If you are new to Bells Corners, Sadhana Lad and Elysa Esposito are your proud Principal/Vice Principal Team. We look forward to meeting and working with you throughout the school year to support your student(s). Our BCPS families are an integral part of student well-being and achievement and we are excited to meet you and foster a collaborative approach in your student’s success.
