Week 3

September 6th, 2026

Happy Sunday!

Man, it feels like fall today. It is such a gorgeous weekend, and I hope folks have had a chance to spend some time outside, and doing things that bring you joy.

Last week was filled with awesomeness as we learned how to use our new milk dispenser ... yay for Monument Farms Milk... learned new recess games, and became more comfortable in our new community.

This upcoming week at BCS will be very exciting as we have our residency with Troy Wunderle! He will be leading us through different circus skills all while teaching teamwork, risk taking and perseverance. I can't wait to try out some of the tricks... I hear there may be stilts to try!

Can't wait to see you all on Thursday evening for our circus performance!

Best,

Jenny

Fall Assessment Information

Panorama Survey

We know that social emotional learning (SEL) is crucial for our students’ success in school and in life, so across ACSD we are working on systems to support strong SEL teaching and learning in our schools. As part of that work, we are using Panorama surveys, research-backed SEL measurement tools. We will use the data we collect with this assessment to reflect on student learning and strengthen our programs and instruction to help all students succeed.

ACSD students have been taking this survey for 7 years now, and we are actively using the data at the school and district level. At BCS it helps us to know both how students are doing as well as respond with whole class, grade, and individual supports as needed.

This survey will be given to students in grades 3-12 between 9/1 and 10/1. The survey asks students to self-reflect on skills related to self-management, self-awareness, responsible decision-making, relationship skills, and social awareness. We ask that all students participate, because their feedback provides valuable insights to help us improve and adapt. K-2 students do not participate directly in the survey. Instead, K-2 teachers complete an SEL Teacher Perception checklist for each student.

Please notify your child’s teacher as well as Irene if you wish to opt your child out of taking the survey. Thank you in advance for supporting this important work. If you have any questions please contact Jenny Urban, 802-758-2331

BCS Family Handbook

Share your experience with 2026-2027 Bus Transportation

Across our district, we are facing significant transportation challenges caused by driver shortages on multiple bus routes. You can find revised bus routes here based on Week 1 changes, and also in your principal’s newsletters. We hope the changes we made in Week 1 will offer stability moving forward and we will continue to make adjustments as needed and hope to get back to our normal bus routes as quickly as possible. However, we are also working to capture the full impact this challenge has had on our families as we escalate this situation to the the Secretary of Education and BetCha’s parent company, STA. Please use this form to document the impact any bus disruptions had on your family so that we can act on and/or pass along the information as we seek resolution.
