Stanford Achievement Testing

Our annual SAT testing starts next Monday, April 9th and will continue through Friday, April 13th. All students in grades K – 8 will be tested, with subtests being given each day. It is important that students arrive to school on time, as we start testing the first thing in the morning.

Please make sure that your child arrives at school on time, and has had a healthy breakfast. A good night’s sleep will help your child to concentrate on the testing, as well!

If your child is tardy, and testing has begun in the classroom, he or she will have to wait in the office until the class has finished.

There will be no makeup for testing, so please make sure that your child arrives on time daily. If your child is sick, has a temperature, or is vomiting, PLEASE keep him or her at home! Thank you!

Health Update

We have had a number of sick children at school lately, and have been informed of cases of strep, scarlet fever, and various viruses.

Please be aware that in a community of children, we must do everything we can to keep our staff and students healthy. If your child exhibits the following symptoms, please keep them at home until the symptoms have subsided for at least 24 hours:

• vomiting
• diarrhea
• fever over 99 degrees
• severe coughing
• any suspicious rash

Thank you for helping us keep a healthy school!

There will be NO SCHOOL on this coming Friday, April 6, as it is Good Friday.

School Notes….

If you have your child’s plastic folder left over from last year, please send it in to the school office to be “recycled” for those who have misplaced this year’s folder. Thank you!

Volunteers Needed!

Are you looking for a way to help BCS? We need help in counting and sorting ink jet print cartridges and Campbell Soup labels. If you are able to help, either from home or at school, please contact the school office. Thank you!

Uniform Code Update

We have a number of students, especially those in grades 4 – 8, who are not coming to school in uniform. This includes both regular uniform and gym clothing. Please note that the following clothing is the ONLY acceptable uniform wear:

- BCS polo shirts with emblem
- plain white oxford shirts, tucked in
- navy or gray Harvey uniform pants
- plain white Peter Pan collared shirts under jumpers
- plain white turtle neck shirts under uniform sweaters, shirts, or fleeces
- BCS gym shirts, BCS sweatshirts and BCS sweat pants, PLAIN navy blue swishy pants (no stripes or other colors)

Students who continue to ignore uniform code will wait in the office until appropriate uniform clothing can be brought to school. We appreciate your cooperation and support in this matter.

Karate Update

This week marks the end of our second Karate session with instructors from America’s Best Defense studio in Raynham. Due to scheduling conflicts, and an increased enrollment at the Raynham studio, they will not be able to offer a third session this year.

We are hoping that we will be able to offer Karate again next year. Thank you for your support of this after school extracurricular activity!
