MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL TIFFANY PHELPS

BCE Families,

 

Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year. Family, fellowship, food, and football...does it get any better?  There is so much to be thankful for.  I know I've said this on several occasions, but it deserves to be repeated.  I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the BCE community.  The support is humbling and I'm so fortunate to have a job that I look forward to every day. I mean, where else do you get to walk down the halls only to be greeted with smiles and hugs?  And don't get me started on the phenomenal musicals!  The Jamin' Jayz performance today had me on cuteness overload.  This building is filled with exceptional children and extraordinary teachers.  

 

On behalf of the entire Barton Creek Elementary staff, we wish you a relaxing, safe, and fun-filled Thanksgiving break!  We are thankful for YOU!

DISTRICT NEWS

GT Kindergarten Identification Process Parent Information

Eanes ISD voters overwhelmingly passed the proposed tax ratification, or Penny Swap & Drop proposition by 89 percent in the November 7 election. The TRE approval lowers the overall Eanes ISD tax rate by more than a penny to $1.20 and adds an estimated $3 million of non-recapturable funds to the district's operating budget.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) focus highlights self-awareness and self-management. "There is an emerging body of research that indicates mindfulness can help children improve their abilities to calm down when they are upset and to make better decisions," which is being self-aware.
