August 29th – BCSD Half Day

August 29th is our first BCSD Half Day, designated for staff development after students are dismissed. Please review the schedule below:

• Juniors will dismiss at 11:50 a.m.

• Juniors and Seniors may pick up a grab-and-go lunch from the lounge.

• Buses will run at the regular dismissal time (3:00 p.m.).

Students will still leave at 3:00 because TTC does not observe a half day, and many students will attend their TTC classes and need their normal transportation home.

Hello Class of 2026 and Parents,

I hope you are doing well. Please email me @ edmondsonj@bcsdschools.net to let me know your availability for the final Senior IGP meeting. I will be conducting IGPs through Sept. 11th; the student and parent will need to be present (in-person or via google meet). Any remaining IGPs after Sept. 11th, will be completed at a later date.

Thank you so much.
