BCS Family Update
April 27th, 2023
We hope that all of our BCS families had a restful and relaxing April vacation last week. It has been a wonderful week back with students and staff! Below, please find a few items we wanted to make you aware of as we begin the final stretch of the 2022-2023 school year!
Progress Updates: We are halfway through our final trimester of the school year! Mid Trimester Progress Reports come home Friday, 4/28, for students in grades 1-8. Please reach out to your child’s teacher(s) with any questions or concerns.
End of year events: Spring events are in full swing here at school. Sports have begun, we had band and choral concerts, and classrooms had the opportunity to visit our “sugar shack” and learn how maple syrup is made. We are so happy to be once again planning for many of our traditional end of year events this May and June. Keep your eyes open for invitations and more dates coming soon!
Fall 2023 information: Please see this link for information on the classroom placement process for the 2023-2024 school year. We ask that any caregiver input for next year be submitted by email to the school counselors listed no later than May 5th, please.
Assessments: Our spring testing window is coming up in May for grades 3-8. Students in these grade levels will complete both a math and reading test. These are computer based tests that each last about an hour. Students in grades 5 and 8 will also be completing the Maine Science Assessments. Here is a link to more information: Maine Through Year Assessment
Early Release: We have an early release day coming up on Friday, May 12th. Middle School students are dismissed at 10:50 and Elementary students at 11:45. Please be sure to let teachers know if your child will be following a different routine for dismissal that day.
