Our weeks leading up to the March Break have been filled with many learning opportunities and events at BCPS! Our Kinder team hosted a Winter Fun Day for families and students. The day was chilly but the students enjoyed the activities and the time outside! Our Junior grade 6 leaders hosted a Winter Activity Day. Students planned 8 activity stations where students were the instructors and guided students in grades K to 5 to the various activities. Student voice and leadership was visible throughout the day and it was wonderful to see the pride that students displayed in their initiatives. Mr. Balint and Ms. Devon hosted Bells Corners first in school chess tournament where 45 students demonstrated their strategic skills in the game of chess. Ms. Lagzdins & Ms. Hayward also hosted a dodgeball league where students from grades 3 to 6 competed every week in intramurals. What a week it has been at BCPS!

Dear BCPS Families, BCPS students began the month recognizing the contributions of Black Canadians in celebration of Black History Month. Students have been engaged in activities that amplify messages of equality, hope and understanding the role of many Black Canadians who have shaped our Canadian history. Our daily announcements have recognized the contributions of many Black Canadians and classes continue to work on activities within their classrooms this month and throughout the year. Next week, families will be receiving their students’ report cards from their educators. Staff have been working hard and collaboratively to create thoughtful and thorough reports on your students’ progress, achievements and next steps. There are no formal interviews during this round of reporting. However, if you wish to discuss your student’s report card, please email your student’s educator(s).

Dear BCPS Families, Students and staff have been quite busy this month at BCPS! Select grade 6 students attended the Regional borden ball tournaments with the support of families. A big thank you to your volunteer efforts: driving and helping supervise our students. It is because of your time that our students are able to attend these opportunities. Our Kindergarten classes and our Primary Behaviour Intervention Programme have led the food drive initiative and we have gathered many items to support our community members in need. FAMSAC was very appreciative of the donation we delivered today. The Arts was an area of focus this month, as we welcomed Luv2Groove workshops. The dance instructors worked all week with our students to get students moving and achieving curriculum goals in the area of dance and physical education. Similarly, our Junior students gathered insight into composing music and they developed an appreciation of folk music from a musical duo. Every learning experience is a result of our staff and their dedication to provide a variety of opportunities to access the learning goals for our students. These thoughtful activities have strong connections to curriculum with a focus on a culture of caring and social responsibility where community is our focus.

Bells Corners is a busy place these days as we approach the month of December. Finding out what students are doing at school can be challenging. One way to engage your child in a conversation may be to ask about one favorite activity that they worked on for the day. This can be a springboard for information as to what your child is learning at school. As always, reach out to your child’s educators to inquire about any information that you may have as well. Last week, it was wonderful to meet and welcome parents to BCPS during our family/educator conferences. Our BCPS staff are engaging students in borden ball intramurals, food drive organization activities, leadership initiatives, clubs, and school wide collaborative work. There are many interests and activities that students can choose to participate in.

November has already arrived and we leave behind a packed October! We are so grateful to our School Council for putting together an amazing Halloween/Family Dance. It was a huge success due to family member volunteers and our council members. A special thank you to Andrew Jarabek for putting together quite the entertainment with the lights, the music, the videos, and organizing some fun dance floor activities. It was absolutely wonderful to see our families connect and students enjoying themselves outside of school time. All Bulldogs showed their school spirit and took a stand against bullying towards the 2SLGBTQ+ community by wearing purple on October 20th. Educators are working on putting together each student’s Progress Reports which will be made available online November 17.

Educators took multiple opportunities to build relationships with students. We shared our mission statement where we want all students to develop a sense of belonging, which includes safety which sets the conditions for learning. Therefore this week and next week, your child’s classroom educator will be engaging in activities to get to know their student. Bells Corners students also had an opportunity to participate in our first school assembly where Mrs. Esposito and Mrs. Lad shared an introduction to ways students can develop their Bulldog school spirit by getting involved in many activities that will be offered in the upcoming school year!
