We have a few tickets left for our Father /Daughter dance next Saturday. Today is the last day to purchase tickets.
Hello Biscayne Elementary School families, this is Principal McBride.
I’m reaching out to address a rumor circulating on social media about a possible threat to our school. We are aware of the situation, and I want to assure you that there is no credible threat against Biscayne Elementary School.
Yesterday afternoon, a parent reported that a student from another school made a possible threat during a group phone call. Our school police immediately investigated and determined the threat to be non-credible. Please know that any report of a threat is taken seriously and investigated right away. If there were ever a credible threat to our school, I would notify you immediately. Again, at this time, there is no threat to our campus.
The safety of your children remains one of our top priorities. Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep our school safe. Please have a good rest of the day.

✨ A favorite drink

✨ 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.
