Greetings, Panther Students, Families and Staff!

This is Principal Paddock with the BCMS school updates for the week of March 15^th.   We enjoyed connecting with families for conferences last week.  I hope you had time to enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend even with one less hour.  As we spring ahead, it seems as though we are in for hopefully what will be the last winter weather event.

March 15^th is an A-Day.  Students that are not onsite will participate in asynchronous learning or distance learning office hours provided from 8:30-11:45 am.  All students will attend Daily Foundations/Study Skills at 12:15 pm, Periods 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A. As a reminder, students should only report on their assigned day.

Check out the updated BCMS Daily Schedule and Distance Learning 2.0 Semester schedule for more information.  The Distance Learning 2.0 semester schedule has been updated to include semester 2.

ACCESS Testing for our English Language Learners begins tomorrow, March 15^th.  Students and families should have received communications regarding their assigned testing days with transportation information the mail.  Please only come on your assigned days for testing.  Students will grab a breakfast and report to the cafeteria.  Please bring work in case you finish testing early.

Students that are reporting for onsite support or plan to participate in in-person learning should be bringing their iPad daily.  Please make sure it is fully charged and that it is in its case with the keyboard securely fastened.  Please see this message from Ms. Hagen regarding your district issued iPad.
