MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
March 2024
Dear BCECC Families,
March brings us Read Across America, Parent Teacher Conferences, Spring Break, and PreK Enrollment. Thursday, March 7th is a Remote Learning Day and Parent Teacher Conferences. Students will come home with a packet of work in their Wednesday folder and will not come to school in person on Thursday. The school work needs to be turned in Monday, March 11th.
Please take time to read the newsletter and check out the Counselor's Corner section which has great information.
Reminders:
- Per our student handbook, children must be fever free without medication for 24 hours before returning to school.
- 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 Walk and Talk)-PreK goes 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
Our doors are always open to each and every one of you. We welcome your ideas and feedback.
Thank you for trusting the staff of BCECC with your children.

Assistant Principal Attendance Awareness
Student attendance is strongly correlated to academic achievement, graduation rates, and postsecondary success. Research indicates that schools and districts can have an impact on students absenteeism rates. Chronic absenteeism, which represents lost instructional time for students, is gaining nationwide awareness.
Chronic absenteeism is one of several indicators on the Oklahoma School Report Card, which is designed to give parents and communities an annual snapshot of student learning, progress, and achievement at the local level. Including chronic absenteeism on the new school report card will highlight local efforts to prioritize student attendance.
How does the State of Oklahoma define chronic absenteeism?
A student is considered chronically absent after missing 10 percent or more of school days. This includes both excused and unexcused absences.
Chronic absenteeism looks beyond truancy and average daily attendance to shine a light on how missing school days can affect an individual student's path to success.
