Early Release for Solar Eclipse Day

In the interest of safety and to facilitate viewing opportunities for our students, we have decided to implement an early dismissal schedule for that day. Below are the dismissal times for each level:

Elementary School: Dismissal at 11:30 AM

Middle/High School: Dismissal at 12:30 PM

We want to ensure that all students and staff members can safely view this rare celestial event. To that end, we will provide special eclipse viewing glasses for each student and staff member. These glasses are equipped with certified solar filters to protect eyes from harmful rays.

We encourage you to take this opportunity to discuss the significance of this event with your child and, if possible, plan safe viewing activities together.

Please make any necessary arrangements for transportation or child care accordingly. There will be no afternoon preschool on April 8th.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to your school

Vision for BCS

Vision for Learning: For our students, "Aim High and Dare to Be Great" is an invitation to dream big, work hard, and believe in the boundless possibilities of their potential. It's a call to embrace challenges as opportunities, to persist in the face of adversity, and to discover the greatness within themselves.

 

What It Means for Our Vision: The vision for this academic year is a tapestry woven with the threads of ambition, courage, and excellence. It's a vision where each member of our community, from students to educators, staff to parents, dares to aim high in their aspirations and endeavors.

Aiming High in Teaching: Our educators are the architects of dreams, and aiming high means setting ambitious goals for our students. It means creating an environment where curiosity is sparked, potential is unlocked, and knowledge is a limitless horizon. In each lesson, in every interaction, let's challenge ourselves to reach for excellence.

Daring to Be Great in Leading: Leadership is not about titles but about the impact we have on others. Daring to be great in leading means fostering a culture of collaboration, empowerment, and continuous improvement. It's about leading with courage, innovation, and a commitment to the success of every member of our school community through the lens of an equity and growth mindset, never wavering and never quitting, always seeking opportunity and access for our students, faculty and staff. We are all in this together.  In the spirit of unity, Pirates dare to be great. Our journey together is an exploration of untapped potential, and  extraordinary achievements that will unfold when we all commit to aiming high and daring to be great.
