News and Announcements

Third Grade Parents,

TCAP scores are scheduled to be released to schools on the evening of Friday, May 19th. If your student falls into the “below” or “approaching” range and is at risk of retention, BES will notify you of the next steps on Monday, May 22nd. If you do not receive communication from BES on Monday, your student is not in danger of retention because he or she scored “meets expectations” or “exceeds expectations” on TCAP.
Students who score below or approaching will be eligible for an online retake opportunity. There will be 2 time slots available for eligible students to retake the test at BES:
Tuesday, May 23rd from 10:30-12:00 or Tuesday, May 23rd from 1:30-3:00.

Bartlett Elementary School is hosting our Career Day on
MAY 15th and WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Career Day is an opportunity for our students to be inspired by community professionals and get an idea of the many paths out there for them to pursue. It is designed to encourage children to expand their horizons and deepen their learning passions.
We are looking for parents and / or community members to come speak to our students briefly about what they do for a living. If you would like to come present, or if you know of anyone else in the community who would be enjoyable for our students to hear from, we welcome participation in this event! We love having a wide variety of careers represented from
Trade Professionals to Business Owners, Food & Beauty Service Professionals, to Artists, Coaches and STEM Careers, to Public Service, all professions are welcome.
If you would like to be involved or know someone that would, we would so appreciate your participation!
