After not being able to put on Operation Safe Prom for the past two years due to COVID-19, this powerful presentation was back in action on Thursday, May 5, 2022 at Columbus East High School.

Operation Safe Prom is an annual program presented to BCSC high school juniors and seniors to demonstrate the dangers of underage drinking and driving. Our hope through participating in this realistic demonstration is for our teens to see how their choices can impact their lives and our community.

Join us in encouraging our students to have a safe and fun prom weekend.

Disclaimer: Operation Safe Prom may be difficult to watch for some viewers.

After last year's BCSC Prom was moved outside to Northside Middle School, juniors and seniors will get to walk the red carpet once again at The Commons in downtown Columbus on Saturday, May 7. In addition to this exciting annual event moving back to its traditional location, the party continues with After Prom teaming up with Turning Point for Dance Marathon.

Dance Marathon Presents: The After Prom Party will be open for all BCSC students grades 9-12 to attend from 9pm May 7th to 3am May 8th at Central Middle School. Students are encouraged to join the glow-in-the-dark fun, which will include bounce houses, carnival games, NERF battles, epic prize giveaways, music, food, and much more. Several scholarships for students will also be awarded to those present at the event. To register to attend, volunteer, or for more information, please visit the link below.

High Ability Open Testing/Re-testing Sessions will take place on June 14-15, 2022, for students in grades 4-8.

BCSC students may re-test one time between the Grade 3 and Grade 6. The re-testing will be completed in their home schools. Non-BCSC students may open-test 2 times. The Registration Form with details about session times is now available at:

https://www.bcscschools.org/highability

All open-testers/BCSC re-testers will complete a cognitive measure (CogAT) and BCSC Writing & Math tasks.

Non-BCSC students must complete NWEA testing, as well as the above-mentioned components.

If your Non-BCSC child has completed NWEA testing after 4/1/2022 in a non-BCSC school, you may submit the NWEA Map Growth Student Profile report to Gail Koors at koorsg@bcsc.k12.in.us. The student must still attend sessions to complete all other requirements.

There will be a $25 testing fee for non-BCSC students. On testing day, please bring cash or check made out to BCSC Fund 2949.
