Dear B-C-S Parent/Guardian:
If you are satisfied with your student(s) current school bus transportation arrangements, you can disregard this email, and there is nothing that you have to do.
If you have already filled out a new Transportation Request Form in November and submitted it online or in paper form you can also disregard this email.
Reminder:
Due to the passage of the levy, we are bringing back school bus transportation to Oak Harbor High School students (including Penta), and students who live within two miles of our schools on Monday, January 6, 2020. So, if you have a student(s) that want school bus service starting on January 6 OR you want to make changes to your students pick up or drop off locations we need you to fill out the “Transportation Request Form” electronically on the front page of the district website at www.bcssd.com (or visit your child's school or the Board Office to fill out this form).
The original deadline for filling this out was November 26, but we will continue taking late forms through Friday, December 13, 2019.
We will be processing these requests and will telephone you with your student(s) bus number and pick up time.
If you have any questions, please call the Bus Garage at (419) 898-6214, or email me at jbehnken@bcssd.com.
Sincerely,
Jeannie Behnken

Happy Holidays!
Our little elves have been busy in our workshop preparing for the upcoming holiday. We used our fine motor skills to make our own trees out of boxes and decorations. We enjoyed Miss Tyfanie Hampshire as our guest reader who read a new version of the Gingerbread Man. We also performed some songs, made an ornament with Miss Carla Rahrig, our NP Occupational Therapist Assistant, and made hot cocoa with our BCS Speech Therapist at our Holiday Family Event last Thursday.
We wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season and look forward to 2020!
