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!!
Seniors

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.

Work continues at BCS in preparation of our return to school. Topics addressed by the Reopening Committee include: operations, health protocols, social distancing, and transportation. There is much work to do, but we are up for the challenge! The first day of school is August 5!
Attention, Northside and Blackford Intermediate School neighbors: Due to recent theft and vandalism at roofing projects currently underway at both Northside Elementary and BIS (former junior high school), the Hartford City Police Department will be increasing night-time patrols. If you see any suspicious activity on the school property or have any information regarding these incidents of theft and vandalism, we ask that you contact HCPD at 765.348.4819. (Thanks!)
Today, the Indiana Department of Education released a guidance document for schools to utilize in planning for the fall. The Blackford County Schools Reopening Committee will review the guidance and develop a reopening plan. We anticipate the guidance will be updated throughout the summer, so we ask our parents and community to be patient as we determine the best path for the safe reopening of BCS. Please stay tuned to BCS Skyward email and social media for further updates.
-Superintendent Chad Yencer
