BCS to Honor Senior Class
Beekmantown will honor the Class of 2020 by lighting up the new athletic facility on June 2, 2020 at 8:20pm (2020 military time). The scoreboard clock will count down from 20 minutes 20 seconds to show the district's support for the class of 2020, recognizing them for their Eagle Pride during these difficult and unprecedented times.
This display is not meant to encourage gatherings, students and community members are encouraged to drive by the field, honking your horns is encouraged, but parking in the school parking lots and along the road is strictly prohibited.
The Beekmantown Central School District is extremely proud of the Class of 2020! Your accomplishments are greatly commended! We look forward to seeing you drive by on June 2nd!
To Do List
Parent/Guardian Names needed for Graduation Attendance - submit with Google Form
Please note at this time we do not have any details on a ceremony, we are currently gathering information needed.
We know many graduates would like to have additional family members attend graduation (such as grandparents, sibling, etc); however, at this time we may only be able to allow parents/stepparents/legal guardians to attend due to social distancing regulations. Please only list parents/stepparents/guardians on the Google Form. Thank you for your understanding!
Place n/a in the space(s) that are needed - ex: you have two parents - fill in the first two with their first and last names and place n/a in the last two boxes.
Vote for National Anthem Singer
Graduation Presenters
At this time we are not sure what graduation ceremony will look like and further information will be shared as we do.
However if you would like to have a faculty member present your diploma to you please make sure you have asked them and submitted their name to Mrs. Pelkey.
Mrs. Pelkey emailed all seniors the current list of diploma presenters. Please review the list and if there's someone missing from the list please send her an email to add. pelkey.danelle@bcsdk12.org

Graduation Information
Graduation Google Meet with Principal Bezio - June 5 at 10am
We will be providing a Google Meet (video conference) on June 5 at 10am to discuss/update the progress we have made towards our graduation ceremony and other pertinent information for seniors. We would like to invite all seniors and their parents/guardians to join us. All seniors have received an email in their school account with a link to the Google Meet. You can also click on the link below to access the Meet.
Just a reminder to families: in order to access the Google Meet you will need to have a Google Account, so the easiest way to access it is through the student's school G-suite
There will likely be many people on the Google Meet so all microphones will be turned off, except for the speakers.
If you have trouble logging on at the time of the event feel free to send Ms. Mousseau a text at (518) 564-0325 and she will do her best to assist you.
Cap and Gown Pick Up and Chromebook Drop Off - Wednesday, June 17, 2020
Since the school building is closed to the community, we will be providing this in a drive-thru style. Students need to line up curbside at the high school front entrance in their cars. Students are asked to stay in their cars and a faculty member (with a cart) will come to your car...please be patient if there is a bit of a wait. To help with congestion and support physical distancing we ask that students arrive at their designated time based on their last name. Here is the schedule:
Last Name
Starting with..
A - E: 9:00-9:45am
F - K: 9:45-10:45am
L - R: 10:45-11:15am
S - Z: 11:15-noon
Please note: You will not receive your cap and gown unless you provide us with your chromebook and any textbooks at this time, so please come prepared with chromebook, case, charging cord, and textbooks. And please only arrive during your designated time.
You may also pick up your honors cords, UB cords, and/or NHS sashes at this time as well.
Caps and gowns have been fully paid for by the Class of 2020...so there is no cost to you!
Thank you class officers!
