Can you guess what number Jessica Barker's kindergarten class at Montpelier are working on this week? 🙂
Mr. Yencer shared good news at the school board meeting that this year's Kindergarten class has 137 students! That's one of the largest classes BCS has seen in a while!
Good morning,
The phones here at BCS are currently down. As soon as the issue has been repaired, we will let you know. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Reminder: Students will not be at school at all tomorrow due to the At-Home Blended Learning Day. Student(s) will be receiving more information from their teacher/school about plans for the students' at home work day.
Please share.
Across the district, students and staff have been working hard to prepare for this Wednesday’s At-Home Blended Learning Day. Please mark your calendars and note that on Wednesday, August 26, students will not be at school, but classes will still be in session at home.
Students will access and complete work through their devices. Lunches will not be served. If you have questions about the day, please contact your student’s principal.
Elementary Parents: If you have not signed and returned your student’s Chromebook permission form, please do so as soon as possible.
