WE ARE CREEK
July 21, 2024
From the desk of Principal Lessard
Dear Dolphin families,
Last week was busy with numerous end of semester events. We had a productive and seamless start to EOCEs and finals - thank you everyone for being on time! HOSA facilitated the 2nd Blood Drive of the Year, we enjoyed an AMAZING Winter Showcase featuring all our BCHS visual & performing artists, National Honor Society Induction and various exciting athletic contests.
As we continue End-of-Course exams (a major portion of our School Report Card rating), please be sure your child(ren) gets good rest and is on time for school this week as exams start promptly at 8:45AM daily.
Tutoring/seat time will resume in January; AP VanWinkle will send a BrightArrow to all who owe fall seat time on Friday 12/20/24 so that you may plan for January.
SEMESTER TWO updates: Tardy sweeps will resume and the bell schedule is under review for possible revisions. We will send any changes prior to break.
Leading with love,
Mrs. Lessard

EOC Exams - Student Achievement
Two indicators that are a significant part of our Annual School Report Card rating are Academic Achievement and Preparing for Success. These are calculated by SC End of Course Exams in the following courses:
Algebra 1
English 2
Biology 1
US History & Constitution
This exam counts 20% of your child's grade and impacts their GPA as well. All students have been assigned virtual tutor practice in EdGenuity for his/her respective exam.
As parents/guardians, please discuss with your child(ren) how they can prepare for and take these exams seriously for personal and school success.
School Climate
We have begun Tighten Up Tuesdays! This is an opportunity for our students to dress for success. Students attire must be dress code compliant. Let's see who can DRESS FOR SUCCESS BEST!
We will start focus groups to plan student recognitions and celebrations for semester 2; thank you to all who expressed interest!
INTER-CLUB Council: Mrs. Gilbert will be spearheading our goal of aligning our student organizations - pre-planning is taking place now.
