BES Closed June 30 to July 4 for Intentional Rest

At BES, we are committed to ensuring that children across the country have access to an excellent and equitable education. We are equally committed to the health and wellbeing of our staff, recognizing that we could not do the work we do without this group of dedicated and brilliant people. 

To honor this commitment, we will be closing our offices for the week of June 30 to July 4. 

This week of collective rest is intended to provide our team with a much-needed break that is crucial to maintaining a balanced, productive, and creative environment. During this time, we will not be answering emails or holding any meetings. Should you reach out during this period, please allow us a few days to get back to you once we are back in the office on July 7.

We firmly believe that rest allows us to sustain our efforts towards our mission with renewed vigor and clarity. We look forward to getting back to work on July 7 and hope, in the interim, that you are able to find moments of rest for yourself, too.
