BJHS NAMED 2017 GOLD RIBBON SCHOOL!
We are pleased to announce that we have received the 2017 California Gold Ribbon School Award! The Gold Ribbon Schools program temporarily replaces the California Distinguished Schools Program, and recognizes outstanding educational programs and practices within public schools.
“I am very proud of the hard work that the staff has put into making Bidwell a California Gold Ribbon School,” said Principal Stephen Piluso. “This is a true testament of their dedication and commitment to our students.”
The Gold Ribbon Award recognizes California schools that have made gains in implementing the academic content and performance standards adopted by the State Board of Education. These include the California Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics, California English Language Development Standards, and Next Generation Science Standards.
ATTENTION 8th GRADERS!
