At BCS we are always seeking to improve the educational experience we provide to our students. We appreciate and value your thoughts and ideas and invite you to reflect on the 2017 Summer Packet in order to help us with our process of continual improvement of the Summer Packet. If you have children at different grade levels, you can complete the survey multiple times. Thank you in advance for taking the time to give us your feedback of how to improve the summer packet experience for you.  Click the following link to complete the brief survey: https://goo.gl/forms/wvhhceU9b0vKnnCG3


Our classes will be switching to GYM/SWIM starting on Wednesday, Oct. 11th.
