PARENT COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION
The Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School Parent Community Organization (BFCCPS PCO) is an all-volunteer organization that supports our school by organizing and funding educational and social programs. Our mission is to enrich the education and interpersonal experience of students while fostering a sense of community and commitment among all families and staff. Initiatives are achieved through focused committees, fundraising, and volunteer efforts, and are mindful of our pillars and mission.
THE BFCCPS PCO NEEDS YOU!
As parents and guardians of BFCCPS students, you are already members! The PCO depends on volunteers, like you, to make all of this possible. There are countless ways you can help whether you have 30 minutes or a couple of hours. Your ideas, time, and talent are truly needed. For the PCO to be effective, it is essential to have involvement from as many parents and guardians as possible. Please consider volunteering because it really does make a difference in the lives of our children! CLICK HERE to see volunteer opportunities!

Please visit any Dean Bank location to open your Student Savings account and be ready to bank at school in the fall!
Regularly scheduled banking sessions will be held on Wednesday mornings in the Commons. Students bring their deposits to school and their deposits are given to our volunteer "tellers", who verify the deposits, issue receipts, and help them log their deposits on the computer.
Student Banking is a wonderful program run by School Savings and sponsored by Dean Bank, that helps students open and maintain savings accounts at school. School Savings is a non-profit, U.S. Department of Education approved organization whose sole purpose is to help teach children the value of saving money. BFCCPS is proud to bring this program to our school!
To request a NEW ACCOUNT pamphlet print THIS FILE and send it in with your student. A pamphlet will be sent back home with them for you to fill out. You can return it to the school or take it straight to Dean Bank. New accounts take 1-2 weeks to open.
TERM ONE 9/22-24th
The PCO welcomes back Mobile Ed Productions STEAM Museum for three days of hands-on exploration for grades K-5!
To make this happen the PCO needs volunteers for both morning and afternoon sessions. Volunteers will be present at some of the exhibits to focus the students and to enhance the experience with small group instruction.
