Bonjour BP families!
MyCBE
For those unfamiliar on how to use MyCBE, this is the interface you can use at home to check on your student's progress and attendance. We recommend logging on to MyCBE every couple of weeks with your child(ren) together
so that you can have open conversations about their progress and learning. Attached is a tutorial page on how to use it. MyCBE: Accessing Attendance and Assessment Information (K-9)
Meet the Teacher
We will be also covering this at our Meet the Teacher evening, scheduled for September 18, from 6:30-8 PM. This evenings serve as a chance as a meet and greet for BP families to meet their child(ren)'s teachers and learn a bit more about our school.
Please note that this won't be the venue to ask teachers individual questions about your child's progress, as this is more of a public event. If you do have any questions on your child's learning, please email their teacher.
Forms Due
Please complete the forms that are available in MyCBE SchoolEngage ASAP, as they are due on September 26. So far we have 489/640 completed.
Option Change Request Forms
Students wishing to change options may submit a request form (available in office from September 17, and due on September 19). Please note that we may not be able to accommodate all requests due to balancing class sizes and class availability for the
specific time block. Option forms are due to the office no later than September 19, and will require a parent/guardian signature. Students are expected to attend their classes as listed on their schedule until a change has been confirmed by the main office.

French Opportunity
Are you looking for an authentic way for you child to practice French?
Imagine your child having a pen pal across Canada: a Francophone or Francophile friend who shares their interests, swaps stories about regional cultures, and makes learning French fun and natural. Whether French is their first, second, or even third language, there’s a perfect match waiting.
Check out the link to discover how they can start their own French pen pal adventure! Registration open until October 7.
