BC Bear Facts
WEEKLY EDITION - April 13th - 17th
See What's New!
As you know, we will be moving to an online learning format beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, April 14th. Beginning tomorrow, all students should be logging on to clever.com or visiting the grade level distance learning sites below each day, which house your assigned teacher's selected method of teaching delivery.
Remember, the next few weeks will not be easy. There will be mistakes, problems, and concerns along the way. However, I am confident there will be even more successes, happiness, hope, laughter, fun, and purpose! We understand many of you are still working and have several children to help, financial concerns, health issues, etc. Just know that we are here to patiently support our students and you throughout this challenging time.
Please feel free to reach out to any of our staff members through e-mail if you have any questions or concerns.
All my best,
Tina Croes

The 2019-2020 yearbook is still on!
If you haven't purchased your yearbook yet, there is still time to order online. Our yearbook advisor, Melody Alspach, wants to see what you are doing/learning as you shelter-in-place. Please email her pictures that may be included in the yearbook. If you have any pictures of previous school activities, feel free to send those as well. If we do not return to school this year, Lifetouch will mail books to those who have purchased one.
Ordering and picture submission information: Pictures can be emailed to Melody at malspach@eesd.net. Pictures need to be at least 1MB. If you email a picture that is on an iPhone, please choose the “actual size” option. The yearbook deadline is approaching. ALL PICTURES SHOULD BE EMAILED TO MELODY WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
To order your yearbook go to ybpay.com. Our school code is 11517120.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is graduation canceled?
A: At this point, the chances of our traditional graduation don't look good. However, it is still too early to make the definitive call. We have plans to celebrate our graduates with an alternative to a traditional graduation ceremony depending on the social distancing requirements down the road. We WILL honor the Class of 2020, so stay tuned!
Q: Will there be a 2020-2021 teacher request week?
A: There will be a teacher request week, but our first priority is to ensure our distance learning model is off to a good start. Please watch the Monday newsletter FAQ section for further information.
Q: My child would like to turn in their enrichment packet that was completed before Spring Break. We will be able to turn in this packet?
A: Students can hold onto the packets for now as we do not have a safe way of collecting them from a public health standpoint at this time. If that changes, we will make a plan for collection for those who have saved it and want to turn it in.
Q: Why am I receiving late notices for overdue library books when school is closed and I have no way to return books?
A: Our library system has a feature that automatically generates and sends overdue library notices. Until it was brought to our attention, it was one of those things we didn't think about. The feature has since been turned off. You shouldn't receive overdue library book notices going further.
Q: When will we be able to return library books and/or completed packet work?
A: Our main focus right now is making sure we are prepared to move forward with distance learning on April 14th. After that, we will look at safe ways to bring in library books and completed packets that parents wish to return.
Q: I ordered spring pictures. How and when will I receive them?
A: Lifetouch has been contacted about spring pictures. Like many businesses, they do not have employees coming in to complete non-essential work at this time. They cannot give a timeframe as to when this will happen until some of the restrictions by the state/country have been lifted. They do have the images, so my best guess is there will be a delay in receiving these pictures. How you will receive the pictures is still unknown at this time.
Q: I ordered a yearbook. Will BC still have one for 2019-20?
A: The answer is yes. Please see the Yearbook section of this newsletter.
