⚠️ If your college class schedule creates a conflict and you can't attend your required session, you must email Mrs. Contorchick:

Important Reminders:

• If you do not attend a required session and you do not contact Mrs. Contorchick, a demerit will be issued.

• If you have questions or concerns, reach out before the scheduled session—not after.

Take this opportunity seriously and use it to strengthen your skills and improve your ACT scores. 💪📚

It is important that both the student and parent attend so we can discuss the student's academic progress, high school graduation requirements, courses for next semester/year, college/career plans, etc. These meetings usually last 30-45 minutes. Please click on the following link to access Mrs. Contorchick's online booking site, https://caseycontorchick.youcanbook.me/. Please select a time to meet with me when your student is not in class.

I ask that all students attend in person, but parents may attend in person, over the phone or through Google Meet. If you do not see a day and time that work for you, please email contorchickc@bcsdschools.net or call 843-899-8112 with your availability and I will try to accommodate you.

I look forward to meeting with you all soon!

Dr. Alexander, our Career Specialist, will be at BMC every Monday in Room 120. Please stop by and introduce yourself. Dr. Alexander works with industry partners and can help with apprenticeships, internships, or programs that our students can benefit from.

The BMC calendar differs from the BCSD calendar due to the fact that our students are enrolled in TTC classes and we have to follow their calendar for attendance purposes. BMC and TTC will have classes on Nov 24th and 25th, 2025 (the week of Thanksgiving) and our Spring Break is March 2-6, 2026.
