Martha's MessageDear Parents, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting our school with a very strong re-enrollment season. This helps us plan for new, incoming students and their placement. To date there are 35 new BES applicants waiting for enrollment confirmation. Tours are still in process, so we anticipate that number being higher in the near future. Our parent sessions with Reverend Greene, Head of Episcopal School of Jacksonville, were well attended, and his message regarding the partnership between BES and ESJ was enthusiastically received. If you weren’t able to attend the meeting and would like further information, don’t hesitate to call me. Don’t forget that Monday is a holiday. School and extended day are both closed in honor of Presidents’ Day. Have a wonderful long weekend!
