Restoration of School Busing Service
December 9, 2019
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
Transportation Director

Holiday Fun!
Mrs. Witkowski's, Mrs. Thomas', and Mrs. Mills' Classes joined together for a group field trip. They started with breakfast at Christy's Corner Cafe in Elmore. Next, they shopped at Target and 5 Below to purchase their Secret Santa gifts. And they ended the day with lunch at Fricker's. The students and staff were so very blessed by so many people, from the bus drivers who switched things up as needed, to restaurants who sent kiddos home with gift bags, to complete strangers who sent students home with gift cards to say "Merry Christmas! and please come back".
