This week, we proudly celebrate Assistant Principal Week & Paraprofessionals, and we have TWO absolutely amazing Assistant Principals who pour into our students, staff, and school community every single day. Our Paraprofessionals support our teachers in classrooms.

They lead with heart, dedication, and excellence consistently going above and beyond to make Biscayne a place where our students can truly shine. If you would like to show your appreciation this week, we encourage you to help us make them feel extra stellar! A small token can go a long way ideas include:
✨ A favorite drink
✨ Gift cards
✨ Snacks or treats
✨ Lunch
✨ A plant or flowers
Let’s come together as a community to celebrate and uplift them all week long. They deserve it! Thank you for helping us honor the incredible leaders who help make Biscayne the Stellar Choice every day.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we approach the final weeks of the school year, student attendance is more important than ever. Each day your child is present is another opportunity for growth, reinforcement, and success. With limited instructional time remaining, we cannot afford to miss a single day.
To encourage strong attendance and punctuality, we are launching a daily “Beat the Bell” initiative! Here’s how it works:
• Students who arrive on time by 8:25 AM and are present will receive a ticket each day.
• At the end of the week, we will hold a raffle, and winning students will receive a stellar prize.
• The more days your child is on time, the more tickets they earn and the better their chances of winning!
In addition, we will celebrate attendance as a school community:
• Classrooms with 100% attendance for the week will earn a popcorn party or popsicle party.
We need your partnership now more than ever. Please ensure your child arrives to school on time, every day, ready to learn. These final weeks are critical, and your support makes all the difference.
Let’s work together to finish the year in a STELLAR way!

Thank you to all of the dads and father figures who showed up for yesterday’s ALL Pro Dad meeting. I am truly excited and grateful for the overwhelming response. We called and you answered! Our BELA dads always show up and show out, and yesterday was another powerful reminder of the strength of our community. Your presence, time, and commitment to your children do not go unnoticed. The impact of moments like these will stay with your child for the rest of their life. Please be on the lookout for our next meeting date coming in April. We look forward to continuing to build, connect, and grow together.
Thank you again for answering the call. Our fathers, grandfathers, and positive male figures are truly stellar!
