Karate Classes

Our karate classes start this week! If you have not done so, you may sign up your child for karate classes. Classes for students in grades 2 – 5 are on Tuesdays and classes for grades 6 – 8 are on Thursdays from 2:15 – 3:00 PM. Classes will start on January 9 (T) or 11 (TH) and will continue for six weeks. Students will have the opportunity to earn a white belt during this time. The cost is $55.00 for the six classes, uniform, and belt. Additional sessions of six weeks will be offered for $25.00 (classes only), depending upon interest and enrollment. Classes will meet in the sixth grade classroom in the wing portion of our building.

Please make out any checks to ABD, NOT BCS!

The next session will begin after the February vacation.

Welcome Back!

We are pleased to inform you that Mrs. Barbara Fish is rejoining our staff as of Wednesday, January 10! (that’s today!) Mrs. Fish had left in November, as her husband had taken a new position in Springfield, MA. God has worked their circumstances so that she can return until the end of the school year. We praise God for her return, and for Mrs. Debbi Masse, who so capably taught the fourth grade until this time! Join us in thanking Mrs. Masse, and welcoming Mrs. Fish back to BCS!

This is another instance of God working in the ministry of Brockton Christian School! We thank Him for answering our prayers for a teacher for the fourth grade!

It’s Cold Outside!

Please remind your child to wear a sweater to school during our colder days. You may choose either the cardigan or pullover V-neck uniform sweater for your child to wear. Harvey Uniforms now offers a polar fleece jacket that may be worn during class. White turtlenecks may also be worn under the sweater or polo shirts. Please note that other sweaters or jackets may not be worn in class. Sweaters or additional clothing may be ordered from Harvey Uniform at 1-800-462-8192.

When students go outside for recess, they should have gloves or mittens and a hat, along with a warm coat!

Class Pictures

We have a limited amount of class photos available in the school office for $7.00 each. If you did not purchase one, and would like one of our extra copies, please contact Mrs. Powell in the school office. Thank you!

Calendars Still Available!

A limited amount of calendars is still available in the school office for the price of $6.00. Please contact Mrs. Powell if you would like to purchase any remaining calendars.

An Author Reads to Us!

Last week, Joe Davis, Mrs. Davis’ (5) stepson, came to BCS to read his book to the 1 – 5th graders. He wrote “Apato and the Snow Dinosaur” for his younger sister, and took the digital photographs that are the illustrations in the book. Joe is now seeking a publisher for his book. Our students enjoyed the reading and meeting an author! This came at the beginning of a writing unit for grades 3 and 4, so Joe’s visit was very timely! We thank Joe for sharing his book with us!

School Closing Announcements

School closing announcements will be made over radio stations WBET (AM1460) or WEZE (AM 590) and television channels 4, 5, and 7. In the event that Brockton Public Schools close, there will be no school at Brockton Christian.

Lunch Menu

We are interested in your input with the new offerings by Boston Market in our lunch program. We will be continuing the Boston Market dinners during the month of January. Please let us know if you have additional suggestions for catered lunches that we could offer! Thank you for your patience and understanding with our lunch menu.

Parking Lot Procedure

We have quite a few complaints about drivers in the parking lot. When dropping off your child in the morning, please pull into a parking spot if you plan to come into the school or if your child does not leave your car immediately. This will allow for uninterrupted flow for cars in the lot.
Please maintain the traffic flow in the afternoon, and do not exit the parking lot from the lower end. Thank you – as this helps in the safety of our parents as well as our students!

Tax Related Information

Would you like a statement of AfterCare or child care for your 2006 taxes? You can request an AfterCare year-end statement for tax purposes. Please send your request in writing to the school office, attention to Debbie Powell. You may also email your request to dapowell@brocktonchristian.com. We will need a minimum of three days in order to prepare your statement.
