Spring semester is well underway. Please check in with your student and the Parent portal in Aeries to assist your student with staying on top of their assignments. Progress report grades will be coming out February 7th. Encourage your student to complete and submit all assignments. Reach out to the teacher if you have any concerns about your student's progress in a specific class.

We are also heading into the season of assessment. All 9th grade students will be completing the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) in PE this semester. Please read the letter provided in the newsletter for more information about the PFT. Our English Learners will be taking the Summative ELPAC assessment in February. This assessment measures their level of English proficiency. The CASSPP assessments will occur in April. We will share more information in March. We encourage all of our students be well rested and to do their personal best on these assessments.

Sincerely-

Mrs. Hummel

On Sunday January 21st, Ethan Duran and RJ Fernandez performed in the All-Northern Honor Band at UOP. This rigorous and incredibly competitive ensemble performed an array of challenging music, and we are so proud that BC was represented in Northern California's top instrumental band ensemble.

Good Afternoon Bruins,

Please see the dates below and plan accordingly for our Spring Semester Safety Drills. Please note we will do our best to hold drills as close to the beginning of the period as possible (allowing a few minutes for attendance to be taken)

Thank you all for your participation in these safety drills. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to stop by my office. Have a wonderful Friday!
