Dear Secondary School Families:
Spring is Near (Or Is It?)! Happy Groundhog Day! Prognosticating groundhog Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow when he was abruptly woken from his sleep this morning in Gobbler’s Knob Pennsylvania. In case you’re wondering, Phil’s accuracy is not nearly as good as Weatherman G - the groundhog has been accurate 40% of the time over the last 100 years. Bundle up!
Quarter 2 Grades: Second quarter grades will be posted on the parent and student portals this afternoon. Please review your child’s current progress and reach out to your child’s teachers or counselor with any questions or concerns.
Counseling Center: The Counseling Center is pleased to provide another session of Coffee with the Counselors. If you would like to attend this event in person - RSVP here: https://forms.gle/CDM7VpypPCa5AnPa7 We are pleased to announce we will be LIVE streaming the event on the BCSD Events Youtube page with commenting on for questions or comments.
