Dear Parents,
Before the Mardi Gras holiday, I had the privilege of at-
tending the National Title I Conference to participate in a cer-
emony where Belle Chasse Primary was recognized as a Dis-
tinguished School. Sixty-three U.S. schools were named 2017
National Title I Distinguished Schools either for exceptional stu-
dent performance overall, for significantly closing the achieve-
ment gap between student groups, or for excellence in serv-
ing special populations of students.
A project of the National Title I Association, the National
Title I Distinguished Schools Program publicly recognizes quali-
fying Title I schools for the outstanding academic achieve-
ments of their students. Belle Chasse Primary has been recog-
nized for closing the achievement gap between students.
This prestigious honor is a reflection of the hard work
and dedication of the
teachers, staff, students
and families of Belle Chasse
Primary. It is truly a team
effort and a result of years
of effort. Thank you all for
your continued support.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Ritz

Chinese New Year at BCP
Pre-K News
Bus Riders of the Month Kindergarten Studies –ug
Ms. Taliancich brought
her pug to the Kinder-
garten hall for a visit
recently to help our stu-
dents learn the –ug
word ending. Be sure to
ask your Kindergartner
how many –ug words
they know.
Third graders in Mrs. Rodrguez’s class celebrated
Chinese New Year on February 16th. This is the
year of the Dog. People born in this year are said
to be very loyal. The “teaser” in front of the drag-
on guides him, puts him to sleep, all the while
leading him with his fan. The students all took
turns being part of the dragon or being musi-
cians for the parade. The students played drums,
bells, sticks and a cymbal to make the dragon
move. Mrs. Rodriguez’s homeroom paraded for
the kindergarten students, while her afternoon
class paraded for first and third grade.
PK students have been busy! They cele-
brated Mardi Gras with a parade, shared
doughnuts with their dads and dressed as
100 year olds on the 100th day of school.
