Dear Parents, Guardians, and Staff,

What a wonderful first week back in the Hive! Our buildings are once again filled with the energy of students learning, laughing, reconnecting with friends and settling into new routines. Thank you to our families and staff for helping make the start of the 2026–2027 school year such a positive one. We are excited for all that lies ahead and grateful to begin another year together as a community. Go Bees!

Today we also pause to remember September 11, 2001. This year marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11, a milestone that invites us to remember the lives lost, honor the courage and service of so many and reflect on the importance of coming together as a community. That same spirit of togetherness is at the heart of what we do each day in B’ville.

I have a few announcements to share with you today: 

Curriculum Nights:

Curriculum nights at our schools will be held over the next three weeks. These evenings are a wonderful opportunity for families to meet teachers, learn more about the year ahead and better understand how they can support their children’s learning. I encourage all of our families to make every effort to attend their school’s curriculum night and connect with the educators who will be working alongside your children this year.
