Be sure to plan ahead so you don’t miss PARENT-TEACHER
CONFERENCES – Thanksgiving 2017! On Monday, November 20 and
Tuesday, November 21, BCS and all elementary schools in the district will host
parent-teacher conferences. That said, Thanksgiving is also the same week.
Unfortunately, teachers will not be able to accommodate rescheduled conferences
due to early vacations, so please plan to attend your child’s conference on
Monday or Tuesday during the 1:00-4:00 PM or 5:00-8:00 PM time frames. Specific
information and links to sign up for conferences will be shared on Monday,
October 30.
