Good Afternoon BCVS Family!

We have a full and exciting upcoming week as many clubs are meeting for the first time this Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. 

Esports meets on Monday!  Students in the ESports club received the following email from Mr. Cofer:

Good Morning, Everyone!

I'm Mr. Cofer, and if you are receiving this email, it means that you/your student has been selected for the ESports Virtual School Club!

In this email will be some important information:

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!

Have a wonderful day!

Coach Nunnelly

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! ​
