It’s 2026 and it’s going to be a great year!

  • BFES is proud to announce that our 2025-26 BFES Spelling Bee winner, 5th grader Lauren Simms, will represent our school this Saturday at the Fulton County District Spelling Bee. We wish her the best of luck as she competes at the next level.  Good luck, Lauren!  You are already a champion.
  • Remember, BFES is a personal device free school.  We have had a few instances this week where students have brought devices in and started to use them during the school day, and they have had to be confiscated.  
  • The Georgia Milestones (GMAS) assessment window for our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders is April 27th through May 8th.  This assessment is designed to measure student learning and provide valuable data to inform instruction and guide school improvement efforts.  A detailed schedule, including specific test dates and subjects for each grade, will be shared as soon as it’s available. 
  • If you plan to volunteer in the classroom, please sign up to be volunteer trained.  Go to this link to be volunteer trained.   This does not take long.
