Parent Teacher Conferences


Classes will end at 11:00 AM on November 13 and 14, so we can hold parent teacher conferences. Please confirm your appointment with your child’s teacher. In the event that you cannot make your assigned time, please call the school office to reschedule. Report cards will not be given out without a parent or guardian conference. All students in grades PreK – 8 will receive report cards this quarter.
AfterCare will open early on both days, and will stay open until 5:30 PM.


BCS Parent Report Card


Please take the time to fill out the BCS Parent Report Card that will be given to you at the conference! Thank you! Last year’s “report Card” is reflecting in the following changes this year: addition of Spanish in grades 1 - 8, addition of research class for grades 6 – 8, adoption of new math program in grades PreK – 8 (the whole school!), adoption of new science program in grades 6 -8. Other changes will be forthcoming as we continue on through this year, and after the church end of the building is open next spring.

CLubHouse is Coming!

Do you need childcare during the school vacation weeks? Our CLubHouse program will be resuming during the Christmas vacation. More information will be coming soon! If you are interested in CLubHouse, please contact the school office.


Lost and Found


We have quite a few UNLABELED jackets, sweaters, and sweatshirts in our lost and found. Please stop by the school office during Parent Teacher Conferences to see our “collection” if your child is missing his or her sweater or sweatshirt.
We would appreciate it if you would label your child’s belongings. It is difficult to return a sweater or sweatshirt to the correct child – the garments all look alike!


              School Pictures

Picture Retake Day will be on Monday, November 20. If you wish to have a retake, please return your child’s picture package to school. If your child was absent on the picture day, you may order photos on retake day. All pictures need to be ordered and paid for on that day. If you need a new order form, please contact the school office.

 

Faculty Changes

It is with regret that we are announcing the imminent departure of Mrs. Barbara Fish as our Fourth Grade teacher and Assistant Principal. She will be moving to the Springfield, MA area with her husband, as he was just hired by American International University as Director of Financial Aid. While we are thrilled with this new opportunity for them, American International University’s gain is our loss. Mrs. Fish’s last day at BCS will be on Thursday, November 16, 2006. We will certainly miss her as a teacher, and as our Assistant Principal. She will leave a hole here at Brockton Christian School, as she has been an integral part of the school for many years.

Mrs. Brenda Marquis, our Sixth Grade teacher, will be leaving BCS soon. Mrs. Marquis’s last day at BCS will be on Friday, November 17, 2006. We wish her the best as she starts at another position elsewhere.

Mrs. Debbi Masse has agreed to take a long-term substitute position in the Fourth Grade classroom as of Friday, November 17, 2006. She has many years experience as both a daily and long-term substitute, not only here at Brockton Christian School, but also in the East Bridgewater school system. Mrs. Masse has been a substitute at BCS for many years, and she is appreciated by staff and students like. In fact, she just finished a long-term sub assignment in our third grade. Her children attended Brockton Christian School, and so has had a vested interest in the education of our students.

Mrs. Hodges will be stepping into the role of Sixth Grade teacher until we find either a long –term substitute or a full time replacement.

We have already begun the search for new teachers. While we desire to place a teacher in the classroom as soon as possible, we will not rush through the process. We will prayerfully and carefully seek a permanent teacher for the classroom, and will proceed with hiring protocol.

Thank you for your continued prayer and support for the school, and our staff, at this time. If you have any further questions, or know of someone that could help fill these positions, please contact me through the school office. I would be more than happy to talk further with you.

- Mrs. Hodges
