 Hello Scottie Families!
We enjoyed seeing our 5th & 6th grade strings students perform at Robinson Secondary School on Friday night, and this week we are looking forward to many events, including 4th grade strings (Monday night), 5th & 6th grade chorus and band (Tuesday night), our PTO "Mad Science" assembly on Wednesday, and Field Day on Thursday.
A reminder that we are still accepting gently worn and new books for our summer Bookmobile. Please consider sending in any books you are able to contribute with your student and have them place them in the boxes outside the library door. Thank you for supporting this fun summer reading initiative!
We hope you all enjoy the weekend with your family. Two weeks to go, Scotties!

Positivity Project
Focus for the Week: Review Character Strengths
Significance: Reviewing the character strengths allows students to better understand why everyone is different and how to appreciate those differences.
A few amazing highlights that happened this week...
Sixth Grade Promotion Ceremony
Our 6th grade promotion ceremony is scheduled for June 15, from 9-10 AM, in the BBES cafeteria. We are excited to celebrate our 6th graders’ promotion to middle school! Due to limited seating in the cafeteria, we are recommending up to two guests for each family. Should we reach maximum capacity in the cafeteria, we will live stream the ceremony to the gymnasium for overflow viewing. This is a special day for our 6th grade students and families, and we look forward to recognizing them on Thursday, June 15 from 9-10 AM!
Summer Office Hours
The Bonnie Brae office will be open from 9 AM-Noon each weekday this summer. The office will be closed the week of July 3-7. Please call our main office line, 703-321-3900 with any questions about summer office hours.

Yearbook Updates
Yearbooks will be distributed to sixth grade students on June 14 and the rest of the school on June 15. If families did not pre-order a BBES Yearbook, we will have a limited number of copies for sale in our front lobby the week of June 5-June 9 (as students arrive). Yearbooks can be purchased for $25 (one per student). Students can bring in exact cash or a check made out to "Bonnie Brae Elementary", with "Yearbook" written in the For section. We will deliver purchased yearbooks to classroom teachers to distribute.

Student Testing Results Coming Soon
Starting in late May, caregivers will receive reports for assessments their students completed this spring. Not sure what assessments your student took this year? A list of tests by grade level is available. Scores will be delivered in SIS ParentVUE, by mail, or from the school or testing organization. Learn what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines.
Some families will also receive a Virginia’s Visualization and Analytics Solution (VVAAS) Student Assessment Summary report with historical Standards of Learning (SOL) test results from 2015-2022.
Go online or contact your student's school for additional information about student assessments.
