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!

Student Testing Results Coming Soon

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.

The Bonnie Brae Bookmobile will run on July 6, 2023 from 10 a.m.-12p.m. and July 25, 2023 from 2-4 p.m. and will be stopping at four locations in the community, with the last stop being the BBES parking lot, to distribute books and popsicles to our students! Community stops will be announced before the end of the school year.
