EOC Testing

Students have been invited to their testing session(s) via google calendar.  Teachers will remind students of their testing schedule in the next two zoom meetings prior to Thanksgiving.  Any student enrolled in ELA 1 or 2, Math 1, 2 or 3, Biology or US History will need to test.  The doors will open at 3:30, close at 3:50, and testing will begin promptly at 4:00.  Please be prompt and understand that pick up times will vary by test.  See the testing schedule:

Presidential Fitness Test:

IMPORTANT - ALL Middle School Students and High School students enrolled in PE or Healthy Living

Presidential Fitness Testing – State Requirement

Tennessee Public Chapter 598 (HB 1466 / SB 1979), effective March 18, 2026, establishes the Presidential Fitness Test as a required school assessment.

The law states:

“Each LEA and public charter school shall administer the Presidential Fitness Test established by Executive Order No. 14327 of the president of the United States on July 31, 2025, to students in order to assess their strength, endurance, and flexibility.”

The law further states:

“The Presidential Fitness Test must be administered to students in accordance with this section each school year for which the department provides LEAs and public charter schools with the written notice required in subsection (b).”

The word shall makes administration a requirement, not an optional school activity. Students are expected to participate, with accommodations and the specific safety exception provided for students with IEPs or Section 504 plans.

Participation does not require students to meet the Presidential Fitness Award benchmarks, and test performance cannot negatively affect a student's grade.

BCVS will provide designated testing opportunities to ensure students have the opportunity to complete this state-required assessment.

Presidential Fitness Testing Plan

Testing Dates:

• November 9: Open to all 6th–8th grade PE students.

• November 16: Open to all high school PE and Healthy Living students.

• December 7: Make-up testing for students unable to attend the first two dates or those needing to complete one or more remaining tests.

Time: 4:30–6:00 PM

Place: Meet at Walker Valley Gym - Students will walk up the tall concrete stairs to the track for testing.  Please try to get there at 4:30.  Parents are welcome to wait in the parking lot

Testing Sequence:

1. One-Mile Run: Conducted first.

2. Upper Body Strength: Students choose between push-ups or pull-ups.

3. Core Strength: Students choose between 60-second sit-ups or a plank hold.

Logistics:

The 90-minute time block should provide ample time to complete testing. Stations and student rotations will be organized to maximize efficiency and minimize wait times.

December 7 will serve as the final opportunity for students to complete any outstanding testing requirements.

Weekly Act Lesson:   Lesson 2

Bradley County Virtual School is registering NEW students for January! Our school is the perfect opportunity for students to work from home with in-person teacher support and social opportunities.  The small student-teacher ratio enables us to build relationships that last through your students' educational journey.   Please share the *REGISTRATION FORM with friends and family that are interested in virtual learning! Current students do not need to re-register. *Completing this form does not automatically enroll a student for BCVS.  We will reach out for next steps! 

Good Afternoon BCVS family, 

We are two weeks away from Thanksgiving break and the beginning of testing season! 

Students have been invited to their testing session(s) via google calendar.  Teachers will remind students of their testing schedule in the next two zoom meetings prior to Thanksgiving.  Any student enrolled in ELA 1 or 2, Math 1, 2 or 3, Biology or US History will need to test.  The doors will open at 3:30, close at 3:50, and testing will begin promptly at 4:00.  Please be prompt and understand that pick up times will vary by test.  See the testing schedule:

Attention Middle School - IReady Benchmark testing is scheduled for December 9 & 10 at the PIE Center in the Compass Conference room on the second floor.  The doors will open @ 8:35, close at 8:50, and testing will begin promptly at 9am.  All students will be provided breakfast!  Parents can plan to pick students up at 10:30.  Parents - GOAL Academy is hosting a blood drive that day. Donating blood would be an awesome way to spend your time waiting on your student!

Dr. Wood and Mrs. Hambright have been emailing students to remind them to complete the weekly requirement!  MANY students are not completing this and resulting in missed education  time and absences.  Please make sure your student is completing all of our expectations.

From Dr. Wood:

Students, 

This is a reminder that you need to reach at least 45 minutes of iReady in math each week. Currently, you have not reached this requirement and will need to get this completed by the end of the day this week. Please let me know if you have questions or need anything. 

Mr. Wood

And Mrs. Hambright

Good afternoon!

Some of you have not started on your I-ready for the week.  You have until tomorrow at midnight to complete your 45 minutes and a lesson passed. Don't wait until the last minute.

Mrs. Hambright

Greetings BCVS STEM Explorers!

The BCVS STEM Explorers are meeting Monday, November 9th at 1PM! 

We will meet at the PIE Center CORE entrance (where the flagpole is) for drop-off and pick-up. 

Students will work in the Bradley County Schools STEM Hub located at the PIE Innovation Center. Ms. Betsy Clem, an Innovation Specialist with Bradley County Schools, is the contact for this event (Eclem@bradleyschools.org). Mr. Jason Viviano and Ms. Pam Coleman, Co-Coordinators of the BCS STEM Hub will provide the activity for our STEM Explorers. Please bring your Chromebooks.

Students - be aware of SPAM emails circulating around the district.  Some look like a list of things for sale, others appear to be from a teacher or Dr. Cash.  If you get an email that seems "off" or is from someone you weren't expecting DO NOT click any links, and forward it to me for verification. 

Good Morning,

There is an email circulating in the district from "Dr. Cash" regarding the 2026 Assessment Report. This is SPAM. Please delete the email. If you have clicked the link, please reset your BCS Google password and make sure your two-factor verification is enabled. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Innovation Specialist or contact me directly. Have a great Friday.

Thanks,

Scott Webb

A message from Mrs. Clem for STEM Explorers

Greetings BCVS STEM Explorers!

The BCVS STEM Explorers will not meet again until Monday, November 9, 2026. Please feel free to work on the window display designs and share any files you have ready to cut on the XTool or the Vinyl Printer / Cutter with Ms. Clem.

 Questions?

Please let me know if you have any questions. Contact Ms. Clem (eclem@bradleyschools.org).

Parents - if you need help providing gifts for Christmas, First Baptist has offered help.  Please see the attached flyer for details.  We may also have resources for Thanksgiving dinner  for families in need - please reply to this email so we can connect you. 

The TN promise deadline to apply is Nov 2nd.  We have 10 seniors that still need to complete it!  All students & parents  have been emailed a reminder - DO NOT MISS this opportunity!  

Hello BCVS Seniors ,

I am reaching out because our records currently show that you have not yet completed the TN Promise application for the Class of 2027.

The final TN Promise application deadline is November 2, but I strongly encourage students to complete it as soon as possible rather than waiting until the deadline. 

TN Promise is an important opportunity for Tennessee seniors. It can provide eligible students with a last-dollar scholarship to attend participating Tennessee community colleges and colleges of applied technology, along with additional support throughout the college-going process.

Even if you are currently planning to attend a university, private college, enter the workforce, join the military, or is simply unsure about plans after graduation, I still encourage every BCVS senior to complete TN Promise.

Completing TN Promise does not commit you to attending a particular college. It simply keeps an additional opportunity available while students make their final plans. Plans can change significantly during senior year, and it is much easier to keep this option open now than to discover later that a deadline was missed.

This year, the TN Promise process is also connected to Tennessee's Direct Admissions initiative. Through Direct Admissions, eligible students may receive admission opportunities from participating Tennessee colleges and universities based on information submitted through the process. This can give students additional college options without requiring them to begin with a traditional application to every participating institution.

What Students Need to Do

Students should:

1. Create or access their TSAC Student Portal account(Instructions are attached!) 

2. Complete the TN Promise application for the Class of 2027.

3. Use a personal email address rather than a school email whenever possible. Students will need access to this account after graduation.

4. Carefully enter all requested information and make sure it is accurate.

5. Submit the application and save any confirmation information.

Students will need their Social Security number to complete the process. When entering graduation information, BCVS seniors should use their expected graduation date of May 14, 2027.

A Few Important Reminders

Also, completing TN Promise or participating in Direct Admissions does not require a student to enroll at any school that appears as an option. Students are still free to apply to, consider, and ultimately attend the college, university, technical college, military program, or other postsecondary option that is the best fit for them.

My goal is for every BCVS senior to complete TN Promiseso that no student accidentally closes a door simply because an application deadline passed.

If you are having difficulty creating your TSAC account, accessing the TN Promise application, or completing any part of the process, please reach out to me. I am happy to help you work through it.

Please do not wait until November. If you have not completed TN Promise, I strongly encourage you to take care of it as soon as possible. There are 9 seniors to go until we reach our goal!!

Board Games Thursday 10/22 @ GOAL 3-4PM

Law Club Thursday 10/22 @ GOAL 3-4PM

Good evening,

Our next Law Club meeting will be October 22nd at 3:00 p.m. at GOAL Academy. Ryan Ballinger suggested we discuss the movie, "A Time to Kill". I think it is a great idea. I am not asking you to watch the movie since it is rated R. However, you can research the movie online. Also, check online the Killing of Jeffrey Doucet by Gary Plauche. The issue for both of these is when a parent kills a defendant who had sexually molested and killed their minor children. There are a lot of legal, moral and ethical issues to be discussed. Please come with your questions and opinions. See you there.

Make it a great evening,

Mr. Peltier

Books and Banter Thursday 10/22 @ Ruddles

Hi all, 

The Books and Banter meeting is scheduled for this week at 3:00 PM on Thursday, October 15.  Last time, we had only one person finish the book (good job, Gabriel).  This makes for less "banter" than "book", and that is not ok.  

SO--- I'd like to give everyone an extra week and have this meeting on Thursday, October 22 at the same time.  The book was chosen last time (The Grace Year).  

Hopefully you're making good progress, but let me hear from  you about that.  Please reply to this email and let me know how far you have gotten in the book. Please reply by the end of the day tomorrow 10/14.

I look forward to hearing from you, and I will see you next week!

Important Upcoming Events:

--

Good afternoon BCVS family!  

We are 1/4 the way through the school year!  It's amazing how fast time flies.  

No work is assigned during fall break if you are on target for completion (and MOST of you are!) If not, this is a perfect opportunity for you to catch up and not acquire any absences due to truancy. 

Classes with 100% Attendance

6th and 7th grade SCIENCE

8th grade MATH 

 Way to go Middle School!

When we come back, we hit the ground running with clubs! 

Monday - STEM Explorers  (PIE) , Esports (GOAL) 

Thursday - Books and Banter, Ice Cream Social and Art Club @ GOAL 

From Mrs. Clem for STEM Explorers:

Greetings BCVS STEM Explorers!

The BCVS STEM Explorers will meet this Monday, October 12, 2026 from 1:00-2:00 PM. Be sure to bring your Chromebook!! We will meet at the PIE Center CORE entrance (where the flagpole is) for drop-off and pick-up. Students will work in the Bradley County Schools STEM Hub located at the PIE Innovation Center for our STEM challenge activity. Ms. Betsy Clem, an Innovation Specialist with Bradley County Schools, is the sponsor of this event. Mr. Jason Viviano and Ms. Pam Coleman, Co-Coordinators of the BCS STEM Hub, will also be working with our STEM Explorers.

Attendance

We’re excited to see you at each meeting. If you can’t make it, please let me know (Ms. Clem: eclem@bradleyschools.org). Clubs are asked to submit attendance data as part of our on-campus program requirements. 

Questions?

Please let us know if you have any questions. If you need to reach out directly, please contact the BCVS Main Office (423) 709-8414 or contact Ms. Clem (eclem@bradleyschools.org).

Also from Mrs. Clem with an opportunity from the Cleveland Public Library

TECH GOES HOME FOR TEENS 

The public library is excited to offer an opportunity for students to get a free Chromebook. They still need three students to register in order to have the class. 

Provided by Tech Goes Home Chattanooga (https://www.techgoeshomecha.org/), this is a creative class that will instruct students on the use of word processing, web forms, spreadsheets, and presentation software so that they can properly format writing assignments, research papers, charts, budgets, resumes, and formal presentations according to the particular instructions required by high school and college teachers or in future career settings. They will also learn proper organization of a Google drive, sharing and team editing files, and uploading/downloading documents. The final project will be a topical presentation using all of these tools. No previous computer experience is needed, but each student must have his/her own Google account.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED FOR PARTICIPATION. Registration is currently open.

Please come to the Children's department to register your student. At the time of registration, a $20 deposit (in cash or check form) is required to hold your space on the student roster. This deposit will be refunded at the end of the class.

Good afternoon BCVS Family!

This is the last week of class before Fall Break!  I have been watching student progress and I’m thrilled to see so many of our students working AHEAD of schedule.  For the few students who are behind, working on curriculum when no work is assigned is how you catch up.  Weekends and Fall Break are a great time for that.  

Classes with Perfect Attendance this week are:

ELA 9 - AGAIN!

Math 1 - AGAIN!

Ice Cream Social for having perfect attendance, as well as everyone being well mannered, behaved and represented BCVS perfectly! 

Way to GO BCVS!  

Unfortunately, some middle school students are still not completing IReady requirements.  Every week that this is not complete accrues an absence toward truancy.  Please refer to the email sent out by Mrs. Hambright regarding IReady requirements:

Good morning!

I have gone over this several times in our zoom meetings, but wanted to follow up again. You have I-ready due weekly in math and ELA .  The week starts on Sunday and goes to Saturday for my class.  I know I-ready gives a different time, and we have discussed this.  Sunday to Saturday fits in with your school schedule better, and that is what is used. If you do not complete your I-ready during the Sunday-Saturday time for the week, it is an absence.  

If you are still confused, please reach out.

Mrs. Hambright

All 10th graders are invited to PIE Palooza on Tuesday September 29th!  Please see the invite below:

Good afternoon, 

I would like to invite Bradley County Virtual School 10th graders to join us for Pie Palooza!

Event Details:

Tuesday september 29th 

Time: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM

• Location: Pi-E Center

During the event, students will have the opportunity to tour the PIE Center, learn about the programs and opportunities we offer, and meet with various industry and educational partners during the career fair.

Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional details to help coordinate student attendance. We look forward to hosting your students!

Edgenuity, our online curriculum, sometimes has issues with specific lessons, assignments, and submitions. It is helpful for students to report these issues directly to Edgenuity (and the teacher) when this happens.   Students can take a screenshot that includes their name & the lesson, then email it to support@imaginelearning.com.  Mention you are from Bradley County Virtual School in Bradley County.  During business hours, students can call 877.202.0338 for an immediate response.  Reporting these issues helps every person enrolled.  

Also in Edgenuity, students have two opportunities to take any quiz or test.  A few students have reached out because their quiz froze, they had to refresh, and then the questions were locked.  If you get locked out of a quiz, you can submit it, then take it again.  You can also take a second quiz if you are unhappy with your grade. Only after the second quiz do you need to provide guided notes to add an additional try.  

Our Innovation Specialist, Mrs. Clem, has shared an awesome opportunity for 20 students to learn tech skills and earn a chromebook at the Cleveland Public Library.  The email is below, and the flyer is attached.

Good afternoon, 

We are pleased to announce that we are approved to host the October session of Tech Goes Home for Teens class. October registrations are now open and available to the first 15 students (aged 13-18) on a first come, first serve basis.  One important detail: This class is the last one available for this grant cycle. There will not  be a class for the month of November. 

Please direct any interested parties to the Children's desk to register. Please mention that a $20 deposit in cash or check form is required to reserve a spot for this session. 

I am including the class description as well as the dates that are all available on our calendar. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you, 

Jennifer

Have a wonderful and productive week!  

One

Good Afternoon BCVS Family!

We have had a full and productive week where students were learning and doing remarkable activities in clubs.  I witnessed students designing their own name plates and 3D modeling, being active and having fun in sports, learning the law, playing games, sketching gestures and movement, and enjoying ice cream from Sprinklez! BCVS also showed up and showed out at our PIE open house.  I'm thrilled to see our students utilizing the opportunities BCS has to offer.  

Clubs that meet this week are:

Walk/Run - Monday 9/21 - 4:15-4:45 

Walk/Run Club starts next week!

Our first meeting will be Monday, September 21st from 4:15pm – 4:45pm at Terra Running Company (90 N Ocoee St, Cleveland, TN 37311). Make sure to wear shoes and clothes that you can exercise in (stretch, walk, run, etc.).

Let me know if you have any questions!

-Mr. Garrett

Bowling - Wednesday 9/23 - 11:30  

Good morning and welcome to the Bowling Club!!

Our meeting date are as follows:

9/23, 10/28, 11/18, 12/16

We will meet at Leisure Time Bowling at 11:30.  The cost should be around $10.00.  Please be on time. 

If you have any questions, please let me know. 

Mrs. Hambright

Books and Banter - Thursday 9/24 3:00-4:00 

Welcome to Books and Banter!

Now that we have finalized the "Who" in the club, it's time to talk about the "when", "where", and "what"!  And there are some changes, so please read this carefully:  

Because of the closing hours of Ruddles Book and Bread, the time has been moved from 3:30 to 3:00 PM.  We will begin promptly at 3:00 and finish just as promptly at 4:00 PM when they close.  Ruddles  located at 241 Inman Street E in Cleveland.  Note-- there is parking and an entrance on the back side of the building, actually located on first street.  If you love coffee, tea and bakery items, bring some money so we can banter and enjoy a snack.  The owners of this place are really kind, so let's show them the love in return. 

This month's read is Upgrade by Blake Crouch - it is sci-fi and it is fabulous!  This book should be widely available at the library and on Libby (if you have a library card, download this app and read it on the Libby app for free).  The hyperlink will take you to it on Amazon.  Because we are quickly coming upon the original date we were supposed to meet, and there's not a lot of time to read the book (I know some of you are already done), I am moving our first meeting to Thursday, September 24th. This should give you enough time to finish and be ready for our banter. 

And so we can save you another trip to the library, I've gone ahead and chosen October's book.  It is The Grace Year by Kim Liggett. It's dystopian, but definitely has some spooky vibes in there too.  It's a great read for the fall season.

Here's the short version of everything: 

• September's book: Upgrade by Blake Crouch

• When and where: Ruddles Book and Bread, Thursday, September 24 at 3:00 PM

• October's book: The Grace Year by Kim Liggett

 I'm so looking forward to seeing you then.  In the meantime, HAPPY READING!

Mrs. Culberson

Mrs. Culberson's 9th and 10th grade ELA classes maintained 100% attendance this week! Scholars, I'm challenging you to continue through AT LEAST fall break!  Let's Go!    

Congratulations to the Ice Cream Social Club  for ALSO having perfect attendance this week!  

Important - Attendance Policy Review

Earlier this week Mr. Hambright emailed every student regarding the BCVS attendance policy. Please read it below.

Dear Parent/Guardian,

To ensure your student stays on track for a successful school year at Bradley County Virtual School, please review our comprehensive attendance policies and participation expectations.

Daily Work Progress & Target Completion

Virtual schools in Tennessee are required to meet the equivalent of 180 days of instruction and 6.5 hours per day per academic year pursuant to T.C.A. § 49-6-3004.

"Target Completion" percentages are calculated every school day. Students are required daily to meet these target completion rates; otherwise, they will be considered absent for all or part of the school day.

When an absence occurs, the student must complete all missing work within the current week (Monday through Saturday).

If an absence extends beyond one week, a doctor’s excuse must be submitted.

Students missing the equivalent of six (6) or more school days will be referred to Bradley County Campus Court under the Bradley County Schools Truancy Plan. Students are encouraged to work ahead to plan for upcoming absences.

Mandatory Meetings, Zoom Attendance, & In-Person Events

An absence from a scheduled meeting (such as with an advisor or principal) or a mandatory event—including Zoom class meetings, EOC/TCAP testing, state testing, or ACT Bootcamp—will be recorded on the exact day the event occurs.

If a student fails to attend a required monthly in-person event or its equivalent, the absence will be recorded on the final school day of the month.

Middle School i-Ready Requirements

Middle school students must maintain regular progress and complete required diagnostic/instructional minutes on i-Ready. Missing scheduled i-Ready testing or required weekly minutes impacts overall progress tracking and will be documented as missed instructional time.

Please let us know if you have any questions regarding these expectations.

Sincerely,

Bradley County Virtual School Administration

1. I am attaching a permission form for parents to fill out. Please fill it out and send it back to me, or send it with your student on the first club day. Email is better, but physical is perfectly fine.

2. I may have doubled up on some parent emails. I only need one form.

3. I will put the dates at the end of this email. All meetings will be at GOAL Academy. Please drop your student off and pick them up at the GOAL Academy entrance in the PIE Center. 

Come in from the road that is between PIE and Ocoee/Baseball Field from Parker Street. It is a one way around PIE, so you won't be able to come in from the Wacker Commons way. This is the road that splits going up toward Ocoee Street where you can go all the way through or turn right into PIE.

4. All club meetings will be from 3:45 to 4:45, and they will all be on Mondays. Should any changes need to occur, I will communicate as far in advance as possible.

Club meeting dates:

9/14, 9/28, 10/12, 10/26, 11/9, 11/3

Please, don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. I look forward to seeing everyone, and for a great semester in ESports!

Ice Cream Social Club Meets Thursday at Sprinklez @ 4:15.  Mr. Langdon sent the following email to all club members:

Hey guys, 

If you are receiving this message, that means you are part of the BCVS Ice Cream Social Club! Our first meeting will be Thursday, September 17th at 4:15 at Sprinklez.  Sprinklez is located at 2173 N Ocoee St, right across the street from Ocoee Middle School.  I personally have never been there before but the pictures on their Facebook page has me excited!:)  Mark your calendars! 

The Board Games Club meets at GOAL from 3:00-4:00 on Thursday as well!  Students received this email from Mrs. Terry earlier in the week:

Hello,

We are excited that you chose the Board Game Club!   We look forward to seeing you at our first meeting on Thursday, September 17th, from 3:00-4:00.  The flyer is attached with all the dates of our club meetings for this semester.  Please put the dates/time on your calendars.   If you have any fun games to play that are easy to learn, you are welcome to bring them.  

Mr. Kibler and I look forward to seeing you soon. 

​Art Club Meets on Thursday at GOAL from 4:30-5:30! Our first meeting was cancelled due to the extreme heat.  I can't wait to see what you create!  

At BCVS, all students are assigned an Advisory Teacher based on grade level.  This teacher reviews each student's progress, provides input, encouragement and advice, and can answer any concerns you may have.  Students are required to meet with an advisor monthly via phone or zoom.  The visit is short but important, and will count as an absence if it is missed. 

Juniors and Seniors have a mandatory Drop-In zoom with their Advisor, Mr. Peltier on 9/24 any time between 3-5pm.  Each student will individually conference for about 5 minutes.  Mr. Peliter will email all students the zoom link.  Missing this appointment will result in an absence toward truancy.  Please make other arrangements to meet with Mr. Peltier prior to 9/24 if you have a conflict. gpeltier@bradleyschools.org

​Progress Reports for brick-and-mortar schools went home last Friday, but BCVS parents have access to students' grades, live!  All parents should be receiving an email update directly from Edgenuity.  If you are not and would like updates, please respond to this email.  

Many Middle School students received an email from Mrs. Hambright regarding IReady.  All middle school students are required to complete 45 minutes of IReady reading and math in addition to Edgenuity coursework. Not completing IReady results in an absence that counts toward truancy.

You did not complete your required 45 minutes and a lesson passed in I-ready ELA last week.  This is a weekly requirement for both ELA and math.  Going forward, make sure you incorporate this into your school work schedule.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

​

The PIE Center is having an Open House Thursday 9/17 from 4-6:30!  Drop in after clubs to grab a hotdog and see what PIE has to offer our students!  ​

Important Upcoming Events:

Good Afternoon BCVS family, 

Our students are making excellent progress and taking attendance seriously!  Every big achievement starts with consistent effort, so enjoy the long weekend and take a moment to be proud of your hard work.  Teachers have professional development on Tuesday September 8th, so there are no zoom meetings or work assigned.  

Classes with 100% attendance this week are:

ELA 9

ELA 10

Math 1

Seniors who have not completed the TN Promise application received the following email from Mrs. Cochran this week.  We are SO CLOSE to having 100% participation!  

Hello BCVS Seniors ,

I am reaching out because our records currently show that you have not yet completed the TN Promise application for the Class of 2027.

The final TN Promise application deadline is November 2, but I strongly encourage students to complete it as soon as possible rather than waiting until the deadline. The next Direct Admissions pull is scheduled for September 8th, so let's get it completed prior to that day!! 

TN Promise is an important opportunity for Tennessee seniors. It can provide eligible students with a last-dollar scholarship to attend participating Tennessee community colleges and colleges of applied technology, along with additional support throughout the college-going process.

Even if you are currently planning to attend a university, private college, enter the workforce, join the military, or is simply unsure about plans after graduation, I still encourage every BCVS senior to complete TN Promise.

Completing TN Promise does not commit you to attending a particular college. It simply keeps an additional opportunity available while students make their final plans. Plans can change significantly during senior year, and it is much easier to keep this option open now than to discover later that a deadline was missed.

This year, the TN Promise process is also connected to Tennessee's Direct Admissions initiative. Through Direct Admissions, eligible students may receive admission opportunities from participating Tennessee colleges and universities based on information submitted through the process. This can give students additional college options without requiring them to begin with a traditional application to every participating institution.

What Students Need to Do

Students should:

Create or access their TSAC Student Portal account (Instructions are attached!) 

Complete the TN Promise application for the Class of 2027.

Use a personal email address rather than a school email whenever possible. Students will need access to this account after graduation.

Carefully enter all requested information and make sure it is accurate.

Submit the application and save any confirmation information.

Students will need their Social Security number to complete the process. When entering graduation information, BCVS seniors should use their expected graduation date of May 14, 2027.

A Few Important Reminders

Also, completing TN Promise or participating in Direct Admissions does not require a student to enroll at any school that appears as an option. Students are still free to apply to, consider, and ultimately attend the college, university, technical college, military program, or other post secondary option that is the best fit for them.

My goal is for every BCVS senior to complete TN Promise so that no student accidentally closes a door simply because an application deadline passed.

If you are having difficulty creating your TSAC account, accessing the TN Promise application, or completing any part of the process, please reach out to me. I am happy to help you work through it.

Please do not wait until November. If you have not completed TN Promise, I strongly encourage you to take care of it as soon as possible. There are 9 seniors to go until we reach our goal!! 

Teachers sent out emails welcoming students to clubs this week.  We are excited to see you at ESports on Monday 9/14, Sports Club 9/16, and Books and Banter, Ice Cream Social and Art Club on 9/17.

The PIE Center is hosting an Open House on September 17th as well!  I HIGHLY encourage our students to come and check out this amazing facility and we have to offer to BCVS Students.

A quick reminder for Middle School Students about I-Ready from Mrs. Hambright:

I reviewed I-ready activity this morning and noticed most of you have not completed your required 45 min of I-ready and a test passed for the week for ELA.  I realize you still have today and tomorrow to complete this, but don't wait until the last minute. 

If you took your diagnostic this week, your required 45 minutes will begin next week.  Remember, you have from Sunday to Saturday to complete this.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

We are waiting on 10 students to complete the club selection form, so we can send out welcome emails!  If you are one of the 10 students, please do so, today!  Art Club begins THIS Thursday,  4:30 @ GOAL Academy! 

Save the date for the PIE Open House on Sept 17th! ​
