Dear Dolphin families,
WOW! Our Black History HARLEM NIGHTS Dinner Show was INCREDIBLE, INSPIRING and EXCEPTIONAL! Our students and staff are talented - their synergy made the evening enjoyable in every way. THANK YOU all who coordinated, participated in or supported this event.
Tomorrow is SCHOOL CHOICE NIGHT from 5-7PM!!! If you know any rising 9th grader or current BCSD student seeking the many opportunities at BCHS, please encourage them to come and explore!
NEXT weekend we SPRING FORWARD.....rest up!
Have a great week everyone!
Leading with love,
Mrs. Lessard

DISMISSAL PROCEDURE REMINDER

Tutoring - DURING THE SCHOOL DAY
Assigned tutoring M-W-F enables students to get help immediately if they are struggling with academics or need support to maintain passing grades. 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 is from 7:45-8:15 daily in the Media Center.
Reminders:
- IF you have an EdGenuity Credit Recovery course assigned from semester one it is essential that you are working daily to complete it on time. Contact your counselor or AP with questions.
ATTENDANCE IMPACTS Student Achievement
Students must be present and on time to maximize success! Please support this critical component of academic achievement.
NOTE: Students cannot miss more than 3 days in a quarter long class (Driver's Ed, Psychology, Sociology, Government, Economics, Personal Finance) and students cannot miss more than 5 days in a semester long class (all others).
