WHAT'S GOING ON!
In the 2010-2011 school year, Food and Nutrition Services implemented an online meal application; for parents to apply for free and reduced-price meals in a simple, convenient, and confidential manner.
During the 2012-2013 school year, 94.35% of households utilized the www.applyforlunch.com Web site; due to Food and Nutrition Services and schools, making computers and support staff accessible to parents.
For the 2013-2014 school year, Food and Nutrition Services will utilize a mobile unit; to provide additional assistance for parents in completing the online meal application. Attached is a schedule which includes the date, time, and location of where the mobile unit will be located in the District. The mobile unit will be stationed at 11 centrally located school sites and encompass an additional 48 school sites, providing assistance to 59 schools identified through application data. Food and Nutrition Services will inform parents of the mobile unit assistance and schedule, via the District’s ParentLink phone messaging system. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the Food and Nutrition Services at 754-321-0250.

Summer Programs Online Resource
The District has launched a new Summer Programs Online Resource, which provides information about summer programs and camps, including academic enrichment programs and school camps. Plan now for a summer filled with adventure, learning and friendships. Visit the new BCPS Summer Programs Online Resource at www.browardschools.com/summerprograms.
Rainy Day Procedures
Students will be dismissed in a light rain. Rain gear is advisable.
When there is heavy rain, or heavy rain is imminent, it is important that your child knows what to do.
If you plan to pick up your child on these days, please discuss the procedure you will follow with him/her. This is very important for two reasons: 1. It will keep a large number of students from coming to the office to use the telephones. 2. It will save the parent the trouble of calling when the telephone lines are overloaded.
Bicycle riders and walkers will be held until the severe weather lets up or clears. Car riders will need to be signed out and picked -up from their classroom. Bus riders will need to be picked-up from their bus stop.
PBE was visited by "The NED Show". Produced by All for KIDZ®, is an elementary school assembly program promoting positive attitudes, better behavior & academic achievement in school. Their character education assembly is based on the acronym NED - Never give up, Encourage others, Do your best.

The BCPS Calendar lists public meetings and events throughout the District. In addition, the calendar includes the regular school year calendar and School Board meetings and workshops calendar.
Get involved! Attending meetings and events is a great way to learn more about Broward County Public Schools. The goal of the BCPS Calendar is to inform parents and community members of District-level meetings and events, which are open the public. Each meeting and event notice provides date, time, location, contact person and relevant additional information. Our school will still maintain a calendar of our events, meetings, activities and happenings.
Meetings and events are continually added to the online BCPS Calendar. We encourage you to check regularly for the most up-to-date calendar information.
