June is Pride Month
Mental health impacts how we think, feel, and act. It impacts the decisions we make, how we relate to others, and how we handle stress. June is national LGBT Pride Month. We recognize the importance of having pride in who we are (as students, staff, and families), appreciate our strengths, and the strengths in others. Using the activities below, we can enhance our tools for social-emotional learning, grief, promote mental wellness, find healthy ways to cope with uncomfortable and unsettling feelings or events, and engage in activities that promote our strengths, enhance our resilience, and show appreciation for our humanity.
Fall Sport Eligibility is based on Q4 grades!
All students that wish to play a fall sport must have a 2.0 unweighted GPA, with no more than 1 E, on their Quarter 4 report card for the 23/24 school year.
To calculate your GPA for athletic eligibility:
1. Each of your Letter Grades are turned into number values: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, E=0
2. Add all of your grade number values together and divide by the number of classes you have.
Example:
Letter Grades - B, C, A, B, D, C, C, C
GPA Calculations - 3+2+4+3+1+2+2+2= 19
19/8=2.375 GPA
*Remember that for Sports, you cannot have 2 E's even if the GPA calculations equal 2.0+
Fall Sport tryouts will be August 14th-17th. More information about registration will be sent out this summer.

Need help tracking where your student's bus is?
Student bus information will be updated in FOCUS prior to the start of the school year, usually a few days before we begin. In the 2023/24 school year, the Office of Transportation announced county-wide implementation of BusWhere, a location tracking software that allows subscribers to see bus locations in real time on a mobile phone or computer. Via the BusWhere app, subscribers may opt to receive notifications as the bus is approaching a designated bus stop or if there is a significant issue causing a delay.
As of October 2, 2023, parents/guardians of record in FOCUS should have received an email invitation directly from BusWhere to create an account! If you didn't get that email or have questions or concerns, parents and school-based staff are encouraged to utilize BusWhere Assistance Request Form.
As shared during registration, all BPCS students must meet the same graduation requirements including a completer pathway. A list of graduation requirements is below and this month we are highlighting our School to Career Work-based Learning completer option.

The CHS website is a great resource for families. Informational Links about bus stops, the bell schedule, the handbook, monthly engagements calendars, and much more can all be found right on the main page of the website. There is also a tab for department contacts that have email contacts for all teachers and staff.
