A Note from the Desk of Cody Burris
As the 2nd nine-week period begins, we are reminding our students of clean slates and new beginnings as well as cherishing memories and making new ones. We had a wonderful start to our school year with a very successful 1st nine weeks both athletically and academically with our secondary students! One of the coolest things to see is that BCS continues to have new secondary students coming on board and joining the Eagle family. God has been blessing us immensely thus far this school year. Looking back on August through the first half of October, we see times of joy, laughter, and success in the classroom, on the court and field, in the lunchroom and the hallways. I would encourage you to ask your child about some of the highlights of their first nine weeks of this school year. Let’s carry those awesome moments with us into the colder seasons as we seek to make new memories and grow in our walk with the Lord together!

PSAT Testing - Oct 23, 24, & 26
The following students are set to take the PSAT from 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM. Students need to be on time to school and bring their computer to the Assembly Room.
8th Grade - October 23rd
10th & 11th - October 24th
9th Grade - October 26th
Taking the PSAT provides valuable insights, practice, and opportunities that contribute to your child’s future academic success. Students get a good sense of their future SAT scores and where their strengths and weaknesses lie which allow them to target areas they need to practice and improve on for the SAT. BCS provides a tool that gives students access to take SAT practice tests along with other useful information as they ready themselves for college. To access the Capstone SAT practice tool, please visit our website at https://1bcs.org/college-and-career/ for test prep courses, test prep practicing, and college connections. If you have any questions, please contact our secondary office.
