Bear Creek Elementary School
Nutrition and Lunch Expectations: This year, while students eat, they will be 6 ft apart. For breakfast, this will take place within the classroom while ALL STUDENTS will eat lunch outside until further notice. Students will leave the classroom with their lunch (if they brought it), go through the lunchroom to pick up lunch (if they are getting one at school), and then travel to a common area to eat. In order to have the spacing necessary (6ft), students will be sitting in designated areas on the ground with small foam mats. This will be our practice unless inclement weather causes us to be indoors. We have ordered foam mats for students to sit on while they have lunch.
All food is free for students this year. Students have access to breakfast from 7:25-7:40, lunch, and supper that they will take home at the end of the day. Please refer to the DISTRICT SITE for specific information regarding food.
Our school is outstanding in so many ways. We are here to serve the students and families in our community. Our mission is to support children to achieve at their fullest potential. We house the elementary stage of the district's Spanish Language Dual Immersion Program. The school includes two strands of instruction — one in English and one in Spanish.
Bear Creek is one of the oldest neighborhood schools in our community. We have an amazing staff and Parent Teacher Organization that supports our school in multiple ways. The ability to bring families into our school and provide meaningful ways to connect with our community has benefited our students and the relationships that they form here enormously.
We have a variety of strong programs to meet the needs of every student:
Bear Creek is a school that takes community seriously. Teachers and support staff are highly qualified, highly skilled, committed professionals. They represent a broad combination of experiences that enable them to work effectively as a team to meet the needs of all the students at Bear Creek Elementary School.
We work hard to keep everyone informed and knowledgeable about our practices and hope to include you in all aspects of your child’s experience. We look forward to keeping you updated about academics and behavior supports throughout the school year.
Have a great school year and thank you for your continued support of your child’s education.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns, my door is always open.
Best regards,
Ms. Birk, Principal
