MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
January 1, 2023
Dear BCECC Families,
I hope you all had a great break and are ready for school to resume. We can't wait to see all of you on Wednesday, January 4.
Here is a reminder that we do not have school on Fridays this semster. Our district has been on a four day school week for the past 6 years. Last year, the State Board of Education changed the law that all schools must be in session for a minimum of 165 days. That meant we had to add 13 days to our 152 days from the previous years. Our school board elected to add in the 13 days during the first semester and continue our four day weeks during the second semester. We will still have some remote learning days on Fridays during the second semester. All Remote Learning days are on Fridays except for March 2. We will have Parent/Teacher Conferences along with a Remote Learning day on March 2 which is a Thursday.
You will find all of the Fridays and Remote Learning Days listed in the Mark Your Calendar Section of this newsletter. Please take time to read the newsletter and check out the Counselor's Corner section which always has great information.
Reminders:
- Per our student handbook, children must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to schoool.
- School starts at 8:45. If you arrive at 8:45 or after, please park and check your child in through the office. If you drop off at BCIS, you must drop off by 8:40. Students getting dropped off at BCIS close to 8:45 are arriving to the ECC late and without safety procedures in place. Barricades are taken down at 8:45 and supervision of the crosswalk stops at 8:45. Because we want to ensure the safety of our students, students who arrive at BCIS in the car rider drop off line after 8:40 will be redirected to drop off in the ECC parking lot.
Before/After School Schedule:
8:20 Doors Open
(Students will either go to the cafeteria for breakfast or go directly to their classroom.)
8:40 Breakfast Ends
(Students should be at school by 8:35 if they wish to eat breakfast.)
8:45 School Starts
3:40 Car Rider/Daycare Dismissal
3:45 Bus Rider Dismissal
