If a student is not being recognized they will not be able to bring guests to that session. If you need any clarification and have questions please contact us!!! Have a great week!!!!
If a graduate attends the ceremony where they will not be recognized they will have a designated seat so they may view & support their classmates.
The two graduation ceremonies will continue as planned with a slight addition. All of the 2020 graduates will be invited to attend both ceremonies!
The second group will practice at 11:30 so please be in your seat by 11:30! From 11-11:30 we will have our senior pic-nic for ALL seniors which will be held on the West side of the building beside the Aux Gym. Come Hungry!!

From Mr. Shimer:
We will be moving forward with our planned July 12th Graduation ceremony. We will have two sessions and you will be assigned to the sessions according to alphabetical order. We believe this approach of two sessions will help with social distancing and give us time to clean between the two ceremonies. Session one will start at 1pm and will include all students that have last names A through L. The second session will start at 3 pm and include students M through Z. We are not requiring face masks be utilized but it is highly recommended. The gym will open up 30 mins prior to the ceremony and tickets will be required for entry. The ten tickets that are available for each student to distribute will be handed out during the practice sessions which will be held on Friday, July 10th. The 10am practice session will be for last names A-L and students M-Z will practice at 11am. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Due to Covid-19, BCS will be making transportation changes. We seek our parents' feedback as it pertains to their student(s) transportation. Please take a moment to complete the following Transportation Survey. We really appreciate your input.
