From the desk of Principal Lessard
Dear Dolphin families,
We had an excellent start to semester two last week - it was great to see our Dolphins back in the building! Our first Senior Night included alumni wrestlers from over the years - thanks to all who came out for a double win.
We will have class meetings this week during RISE for 9th - 11th grade.
SENIOR CLASS Meeting will be FRIDAY 1/24/25 during RISE - please plan accordingly.

Tutoring - DURING THE SCHOOL DAY

Academic support will be offered by your child's actual assigned teacher during RISE this semester. They will receive a ePass and are expected to report directly to the tutoring location.
AM tutoring from 7:45-8:15 will resume on Monday January 13th.
Student Achievement
ATTENDANCE: Students must be present and on time to maximize success! Please support this critical component of academic achievement.

IF your child(ren) is enrolled in one of these courses for semester 2, please discuss how he/she can prepare for and take these exams seriously for personal and school success.

Athletics
To ensure a safe and secure environment at BCSD athletic events, all spectators and athletes entering our venues will be asked to remove hoods or face coverings that obscure one’s identity, such as balaclava-style masks. This practice, which is common at collegiate athletic events, will help us maintain safety by ensuring individuals can be easily identified if needed.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. If you have any questions, please reach out to District Athletic Director Dr. Carlos Cave.
