Congregating in Restrooms
We have seen a recent increase in the number of students congregating in the restrooms. When groups of students arrive or meet in the restroom together, misconduct is almost always involved; otherwise, why not meet somewhere else? Even when the motives are innocent, students who congregate in the restroom block sinks/stalls and prevent others from using the facilities. Students who are found to be loitering in the restroom can face disciplinary consequences, so encourage your child not to “hang out” in the bathrooms at school.
Social Media Policy and Guidelines for Students
Social media has become a significant source of communication and community for young people today. While it has a lot of positive potential and benefits, it also carries a lot of potential for problems. Many cases of anxiety, poor self-image/self-esteem, and peer conflict stem from interactions that take place over social media and texting. Please take time to review the handbook guidelines with your student and stress the importance of keeping electronic posts – whether to a public or private contact – appropriate and kind. The full handbook can be found at https://www.brownsburg.k12.in.us/cms/lib/IN02200676/Centricity/Domain/77/2021_High_School_Handbook.FINAL%20030920.pdf, and a couple of key points are provided below.
- Recognize the value of open sharing, diversity of opinion, and civil debate. Do not use social media sites to publish harassing remarks about community members, extra-curricular or academic contest rivals, etc.
- Students should be conscientious of the privacy of BCSC students and faculty. Taking photographs or creating digital video recordings of BCSC community members either on campus or at off-campus BCSC events for online publication or distribution without their consent could constitute unlawful “invasion of privacy”.
Thank you for helping to keep our students healthy and safe, both in-person and online.
Manage Your Child's Meal Account Online
MySchoolBucks ( www.myschoolbucks.com ) is lunch money simplified. Not only is it a simple and secure way to add money to your child’s meal account ($2.95 transaction fee for credit card transactions), it also allows you to set up low balance alerts , automatic payments and track purchases. For more convenience, download the MySchoolBucks mobile app (available at both the AppStore and Google Play) to have full access from your phone. Money can also still be added to your child’s meal account via cash or check without a transaction fee.
*Please note BCSC has temporarily discontinued automatic negative balance phone calls, emails and letters.
Academic Assistance
The best way to get help in a class is to contact the teacher for assistance. You can contact them directly by email. If you notice your student has any missing assignments in PowerSchool, please contact the teacher to get more information. You can find your student’s teachers’ email addresses hyperlinked on PowerSchool, or by accessing our staff directory on the Brownsburg High School website.
For additional academic support, contact Mr. Carlos Calero.
