A Note from Principal Webb

Colder weather is arriving, Georgia!

  • 9-Week Report Cards will be visible in the parent portal today. If you need help accessing your account, visit this website.
  • PTO Provided Lunch: Thank you so much to the PTO for organizing lunch for our staff today! Special thanks to our fourth-grade parents for bringing in a smorgasbord of food!
  • BFES is not an early voting site. BFES is a voting site on November 5 the for the upcoming election.
  • Grandparents’ lunches are listed below during our Monster bookfair week. We have had some questions regarding some students being sad because their grandparents cannot be there. If this is the case, please know that any family member is welcome to come for lunch and go to the bookfair with their student.
  • Recess Temperature?  Is it too cold for outdoor recess?  In many cases, probably not.  If it is 36 degrees or higher, we go out.  Please make sure to send your children in with warm clothing.
  • This is a reminder to label your child’s jackets, gloves, lunch boxes, hats and water bottles so we can get these back to students when they are left on campus.
