Wednesday Folder Information

Please find electronic copies of your child's Wednesday folder items on the PTA website. Thanks for going green and accessing these items online each week! If you would like to change your preferences for paper or electronic copies, please contact the office.


New arrival and dismissal procedure starts Thursday, 10/25

In the interest of keeping our students safe, we are making some changes to our dismissal procedures. Please carefully review the letter in today's Wednesday folder that explains the changes. If you have any questions after reviewing the letter, please contact the school office.


Storybook Character Parade

Get ready for the annual BES Storybook Character parade! All students are invited to come to school dressed as their favorite book characters and walk in the parade on Wednesday, October 31. The parade will start at 9:30, and parents are welcome to attend.


Impact Aid Forms

The Student-Parent Surveys for Federal Impact Aid were sent home with students last week.  These forms help to identify students with federal connections, which ensures that FCPS can obtain its fair share of federal Impact Aid grant funds.  Last year, FCPS received approximately $3,000,000 in unrestricted funds through this program.

FCPS mandates that 100% of forms are returned. If you have not yet returned your Impact Aid form, please do so today.


First Day Forms

We are still missing forms from the beginning of the school year for many of our students. Please be sure to check your child’s Wednesday Folder this week; any outstanding forms will be there. Please complete and return these forms to school as soon as possible. Thank you!
