Dear Parents, Faculty, and Students,

As we approach the final stretch of the school year, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to our incredible teachers. At Bolden, we are a community united by a shared mission: to educate and inspire our students in a safe, supportive, and joyful environment. Our teachers are at the heart of this mission, and their dedication does not go unnoticed.

“Teachers open our eyes to the world. They give us curiosity and confidence. They teach us to ask questions. They connect us to our past and future.” These words ring especially true as we celebrate the hard work, passion, and care our educators bring to the classroom every single day. Thank you for everything you do to nurture the minds and hearts of our students.

As we head into the final weeks of school, please be aware that this time of year is always full of exciting events, the spring play, concerts, important deadlines, and celebrations. It’s going to be a very busy season! I encourage everyone to regularly check the school website calendar to stay informed and up to date.

Thank you again to our amazing teachers—and to our entire school community—for making Bolden such a special place to learn and grow.

With appreciation,
Angela M. Stephens, Ed.D.
Principal
GO EAGLES!!

End of Year Library Book/Computer Return

We're getting close to the end of the school year, so if your children have Bolden Library books, Chromebooks, power adapters and headphones at home please return them. All books are due back to the library. Please check through closets, drawers, under beds and shelves or any other places that a book could be placed. No matter what condition the book is in please return it as we need the barcode label to account for the book.Thank you for your cooperation!

For your child to be eligible to attend Laurel Bay Schools you must be residing in base housing when the school year starts. Every Laurel Bay students eligibil- ity to attend is verified at the beginning of each school year with Tri-Command Housing. If your child has started the school year and is found ineligible, your child will be dis-enrolled.

If you move to another house on base you must provide the office with a copy of your new lease agreement. If you move off base during the school year, your child will be able to finish out the year but will not be eligi- ble to attend Laurel Bay Schools the following year.

Our registrar will be verifying ID cards and orders throughout the summer. Please provide updated documentation for your child’s registration file upon request. If you have any questions concerning eligibility please contact Bolden at 843-466-7100.
