The Sophomore Success - Team 2023
September 2020
WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER!
Picture Retakes
Picture retakes are September 17 for in-person learners. If a student wants a retake, they need to sign up in the team office and they will get a time slot and pass for that day.
Homecoming Updates
Due to restrictions on large gatherings statewide, Brownsburg High School will not host the Homecoming Parade before the football game on September 25th. While this annual tradition is a great celebration for our community, with limited admission to the football game and COVID-19 restrictions in place, it was determined that this was in the best interest of the safety of our community. Additionally, Brownsburg High School has cancelled the Homecoming Dance for students that was scheduled to take place on Saturday, September 26th. CHAIN Link, BHS student government, is working on ways to organize alternative celebrations to allow students and the community to show their school spirit.

Social Media Policy and Guidelines for Students
Social media has become a significant source of communication and community for young people today. While it has a lot of positive potential and benefits, it also carries a lot of potential for problems. Many cases of anxiety, poor self-image/self-esteem, and peer conflict stem from interactions that take place over social media and texting. Please take time to review the handbook guidelines with your student and stress the importance of keeping electronic posts – whether to a public or private contact – appropriate and kind. The full handbook can be found at https://www.brownsburg.k12.in.us/cms/lib/IN02200676/Centricity/Domain/77/2021_High_School_Handbook.FINAL%20030920.pdf, and a couple of key points are provided below.
- Recognize the value of open sharing, diversity of opinion, and civil debate. Do not use social media sites to publish harassing remarks about community members, extra-curricular or academic contest rivals, etc.
- Students should be conscientious of the privacy of BCSC students and faculty. Taking photographs or creating digital video recordings of BCSC community members either on campus or at off-campus BCSC events for online publication or distribution without their consent could constitute unlawful “invasion of privacy”.
Thank you for helping to keep our students healthy and safe, both in-person and online.
Manage Your Child's Meal Account Online
MySchoolBucks ( www.myschoolbucks.com ) is lunch money simplified. Not only is it a simple and secure way to add money to your child’s meal account ($2.95 transaction fee for credit card transactions), it also allows you to set up low balance alerts , automatic payments and track purchases. For more convenience, download the MySchoolBucks mobile app (available at both the AppStore and Google Play) to have full access from your phone. Money can also still be added to your child’s meal account via cash or check without a transaction fee.
*Please note BCSC has temporarily discontinued automatic negative balance phone calls, emails and letters.
Academic Assistance
The best way to get help in a class is to contact the teacher for assistance. You can contact them directly by email. If you notice your student has any missing assignments in PowerSchool, please contact the teacher to get more information. You can find your student’s teachers’ email addresses hyperlinked on PowerSchool, or by accessing our staff directory on the Brownsburg High School website.
For additional academic support, contact Mr. Carlos Calero.
Work Permits
The Department of Labor has waived the need for work permits during this pandemic time frame. However, there are still some employers insisting on the official work permit with the raised seal. If your potential employer still requires a permit, email Mrs. Karen Pond at kpond@bownsburg.k12.in.us with any questions, your Intent to Employ form that has been completed by the employer and your name, birth date and birth place. The work permit with the raised seal will be sent to students through the USPS mail.
Virtual Hendricks County Apprenticeship & Trades Fair
The fair will be all week long. We anticipate about 40 vendors participating with us and students will be able to schedule a time to chat live with vendors. The chat times will be Tuesday, September 29 from 6:30 to 8 and Thursday, October 1 from 4:30 to 6, hopefully allowing working parents to join in on the chats.
