WELCOME BACK!
We hope everyone had a great break and a great start to the final stretch of the school year. The final couple of months of the school year does include IAR testing in grades 3rd-8th and SAT testing ON TUESDAY for our 11th graders. While this has been an interesting year for both our staff and students, we know our students will work their hardest to show what they know on these assessments. These assessments are used to help us make decisions each year as a district. We appreciate the continued support of our families during this school year.

MYSCHOOLBUCKS_FEE INFORMATION
DIRECTIONS TO SET UP MYSCHOOLBUCKS FOR FEE ACCESS
We need ALL FAMILIES to create a MSB account as all fees will go through this system. Students will not be able to register for next year until outstanding fees are paid. Registration will begin in late March/early April. If you have questions regarding the fees you see in the MySchoolBucks, please contact your child's school directly. We appreciate your understanding.
You can now use the same login to access your student’s information in PowerSchool and make payments in MySchoolBucks. If you have not set up your Parent Portal, you must do that first. If you need help setting up your parent portal, please contact your school directly.
Please complete this one-time process to get started:
1. Log in to your PowerSchool account here: https://bcusd8.powerschool.com/public/
2. On the left navigation menu, select MySchoolBucks
3. You will be directed to MySchoolBucks to complete the registration process.
If you need help adding or removing a student, please follow these directions: HOW TO ADD OR REMOVE A STUDENT FROM MSB.
If you are an existing MySchoolBucks user you have the option of keeping your existing login or linking it to your PowerSchool account. To make it easier, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND linking it to your PowerSchool account, so you have the same login details for both and will then see your fees in your parent portal account. Questions? Please contact support@myschoolbucks.com
Vaccination for 16,17 and 18 year olds in Madison County
Sixteen and seventeen-year-olds can receive the Pfizer vaccination ONLY, and those are available through the health department but only with a parent present (older siblings do not count as a parent present). They have appointments available if parents are interested in vaccinating their 16 or 17-year-old.
Eighteen-year-olds are eligible to receive all three vaccinations through the health department, and they have Johnson and Johnson vaccinations available through the county mobile units through the weekend and into next week. As a friendly reminder, Johnson and Johnson is the only vaccination available at this time that is one shot and you are finished, there is not a second shot with J & J, and Toni Corona asked us to remind you of this point. Anyone can get the J & J vaccination through them and appointments are available.
