Important Testing Information!! 

The MATH 3 EOC has been moved to Thursday 4/30 @ 9am.  Please see the testing schedule on The Flyer.  Middle School students test almost every day from 4/20-4/28 Be sure to look for any appointments you may have and change them.

As always, remember all BCVS students are expected to be on target for completion in Edgenuity courses.  Middle school students also must complete 45 minutes in both ELA and Math in IReady.  

From Mrs. Cochran in Schoology this week:

Cleveland State is excited to invite you and your families to attend their 2026 Parent Night on Thursday, March 19, 2026, from 5:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m. at the main campus of Cleveland State Community College! 

This special event is designed for 10th–12th grade students and their families from across our service area. Parent Night provides an excellent opportunity for families to explore academic programs, learn about student support services, and gain valuable information about financial aid and college pathways.

The evening will flow as follows:

• Program and service area table visits

• Dinner provided for attending families

• Brief presentations highlighting key resources and opportunities available to students

Those interested can register for the event until March 13th by scanning the QR code or visiting mycs.cc/parentnight to complete the registration form.

Good Afternoon BCVS family!

I am proud of so many students being ahead of their target progress. Keep up the good work!  

Bradley County Schools are closed on Monday February 16th for Presidents Day, and no work is assigned in Edgenuity.  Working on a course when no assignments are due is an EXCELLENT and fast way to get a few days ahead or catch up.  Any student who received an email from Mr. Hambright should take this into consideration going into the long weekend.  

Senior Photo make-up day is Tuesday March 3th, time is still to be determined. 

Seniors - Check the end dates of your courses.  All SENIOR courses must be completed by MAY 1st.  Respond to this email if you have a course with the wrong end date.  

JUNIORS - The ACT is right around the corner! Make sure March 18th & 19th from 4-6pm and March 24th 8-1 are blocked off on your calendar for mandatory ACT bootcamp and testing.  Get a head start by reviewing week 17-20 ACT Prep lessons.  

Week 17   Week 18   Week 19   Week 20

Clubs meeting this week are Board Games (3-4pm) and Art Club (4:30-5:30pm).  Please pick up and drop off at the front entrance to GOAL Academy.

Rules, submission details, and the online entry form are available on the Wildlife Forever Art of Conservation website. The deadline to submit artwork is February 28, 2026.

Here are some helpful reminders from our Instructional Technology team to keep our digital community safe:

How to Spot SPAM or Phishing Emails

• Unexpected or unusual senders: If you don’t recognize the sender—or the email seems out of character—proceed with caution.

• Urgent or threatening language: Messages that pressure you to act immediately (e.g., “Your account will be closed!”) are common phishing tactics.

• Suspicious links or attachments: Hover over links before clicking to check their true destination. Never open unexpected attachments.

• Requests for personal information: Legitimate organizations will NOT ask for passwords, Social Security numbers, or financial information through email.

• Spelling, formatting, or grammar issues: Many phishing emails contain unusual phrasing or errors.

• Always look at the email address of the sender. BCS does not send messages from non-BCS accounts.

What To Do If You’re Unsure:

• Do not click any links or open attachments.

• Do not reply to the message.

• Report it immediately by forwarding the email to the Instructional Technology team 

• Delete the message from your inbox once reported.

General Best Practices

• Keep your district devices updated.

• Use strong, unique passwords and enable multi-factor authentication where available.

• Log out of shared devices when you are done using them.

• Regularly review account activity for anything unusual.

Students Caught Doing Good this week are:

Richard Kokello

Excellent history time line

Have a lovely weekend and productive week! 

Good afternoon BCVS family! 

The new semester is in full swing, and these scholars are MOVING through work!  I am happy to see so many students taking initiative to get a few extra days ahead.  

Edgenuity scans all work for time-spent, AI and plagiarism.  A "speed detection" flag is triggered when a student's time spent is significantly less than time required to view it. Students are accessing this capability through non-BCVS devices like cell phones, ipads and other tablets.  Please review our expectations on cheating, lying and plagiarism in the Student Handbook, and be sure you adhere to the policies in all classes.  

As a general rule, if a student gets "locked out" of a class, they should email the teacher a copy of their completed guided notes along with a note requesting the class be opened.  Some teachers suggest or REQUIRE a phone conference or zoom meeting to move forward. When in doubt, check your email - Your teacher has probably already reached out! 

Snow Days aren't nearly as fun at BCVS.  One of the biggest perks of being able to work anywhere, anytime can also be be a bummer when the other schools get a surprise day off.  We specifically recommend you work a day or two ahead for days like this - so you can make snow angels with your in-person friends without worrying you will get behind! Any in person events or meetings will be rescheduled if BCS closes for weather.

The STEM Explorers will meet for this first time as a club THIS Monday!  Please see the email from Mrs. Clem.

BCVS STEM Explorers

We will meet Monday, January 26 at 1 PM at the PIE CORE Building (where the flagpole is) to visit the BCS STEM Hub at PIE. We will be using Vex VR to discuss programming. Bring your Chromebook in order to participate! Betsy Clem is the STEM Explorers sponsor.  

Students interested in the Welding Bootcamp should attend the orientation on Wednesday 3:30-4:30 at the PIE Center. If you haven't already, reply to this email so I can send you the orientation form.  A parent needs to sign the form, but is not required to attend.  There is NO COST!

Don't forget to stop by for our last in-person event this month - Ice Cream Social!  Drop in for a scoop and a hi-five as we celebrate your hard work!  

There is still time to sign up for the CSCC Open House -   Reply to this email if you haven't already!

Clubs are back the first week of February! We are VERY excited about the upgrades we've made.   Students should have been invited to their clubs this week.  Make sure you get those dates and times on your calendar because attendance is recorded and counts toward truancy.

Good Afternoon BCVS family, 

I hope the first week of classes went smoothly and you are all looking forward to zoom meetings starting on Tuesday.  I am thrilled to see 100% of our students logged in and working.  

BCS is closed on Monday in observance of MLK Day.  Students do not have work assigned, but their courses are open if students choose to work.  Working on a day nothing is assigned moves you ahead in progress and provides a nice buffer on your grade and schedule in case "life" gets in the way.  

You can find all the teachers names and email addresses on The Flyer  by clicking the Faculty Tab.  While you are there, also explore the School Counselor section on the home page.  Mrs. Cochran has great resources for Dual Enrollment, PIE courses, and transcript requests!  

Today is your LAST opportunity to pick your club.  If you haven't already, CLICK HERE to select your 1st, 2nd and 3rd club choices.  If you do not choose, you will be placed in one.  Teachers will be welcoming students to clubs the end of next week.   80% of our school has already completed this. Way to go, BCVS!

Middle School Mathletes - The Math Meet at Walker Valley is March 28th!  Please respond to this email if you are interested in competing.  This will be BCVS's first year and I am SO excited to see you excel!

We have the opportunity to participate in the BCS STEM competition "STEM in the Wild" on March 5th from 9-1:30.  Please reply to this email if you are interested in this opportunity!  I'm looking at you, STEM Explorers!  

The BCVS Art Collab was featured in January's 5ive Points Museum Education Newsletter!  Check out the full article and more in the attachments.  Students who participated in the Art Collab must pick up their work ASAP! 

Also attached is an evening opportunity for students and community members to hear the Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra at the museum! Students receive free admission. 

Welding Bootcamp with CSCC @ PIE

BCVS, The PIE Center, and CSCC are looking for students who want to learn to weld!  This welding bootcamp opportunity is for 10th, 11th, and 12th graders, in person 3:30-5:30 M-Thursday.   Please reply to this email if you are interested in take the class 

​

​

Juniors - The ACT is right around the corner! Save the date for Mandatory ACT Bootcamp on 3/18 & 3/19, and Testing on 3/24.  BCS has a remarkable team of teachers providing our schools with weekly ACT Prep!  Here are the first four mini-lessons that are presented in advisory classes at both WV and BC. 

Week 1    Week 2    Week 3   Week 4

Cleveland State Community College is having an Open House on Wednesday Feb 18th and grades 9-12 are invited!  CSCC is even providing transportation.  We will meet at the PIE Center and travel over as a group.  This is a great opportunity for you to "Discover your path".  Reply to this email if you are interested in attending.  I'd love to see 30 students fill up our bus and enjoy a free lunch! 

​Thursday, January 29th we are inviting every student to an in-person Ice Cream Social to celebrate our Honor Roll students!  Please plan on dropping by for a sweet treat - RSVP here if you plan to attend or not.  ​

I have received well written, professional, kind, and valuable emails from MANY students this week.  Every email I read I'm impressed with the way you are advocating for yourselves, you are aware of what classes you need, you are driven to succeed and exceed our expectations.  ​I am VERY proud of the students in BCVS. 

Last week's "Prize at the Bottom" winner is:

Come by the BCVS office to pick up your prize!  

Try again this week by reading all the way to the bottom and looking for the "Prize at the Bottom" link.

Have a wonderful weekend and productive week - See you Tuesday!  

Good afternoon BCVS family!  

I hope you had a wonderful holiday break and are rested and ready for the New Year! This week's newsletter is FULL of information you have been waiting for, so make sure to READ to the END. 

All middle school families should have received the email copied below regarding mandatory IReady testing and report cards:

Good Morning Middle School Scholars,  

Welcome Back and Happy New Year!  I hope you have had a wonderful break and are recharged and ready to work.  

Middle school edgenuity courses span the entire year, so work in Edgenuity IS assigned and students should be working on it.  Students do NOT need to work in IReady this week, because they will be benchmark testing on Monday and Tuesday.  

January 12th & 13th is mandatory in-person IReady Benchmark testing at the PIE Center.  We will greet students at the door under the rusty awning across from the parking lot on Parker Street.  The doors open from 8:00-8:20, and testing begins at 8:30am.  Plan to pick up students at the Wacker Commons entrance at 11:00am.  Students will be provided breakfast and a bagged lunch on these days.   

Class zoom meetings begin on January 20th at the same times as last semester.  

Lastly, middle school students do not receive report cards because their work is continuous.  Parents should be receiving communication from Edgenuity at least weekly.  Students and parents can log in at any time to know exactly what grade a student is currently earning.  Please  reach out if you do not receive these updates, or for any other clarification!  

I am proud of you, students - See you Monday! 

High school courses begin on Monday 1/12/26.  I know you are excited! Please make sure you are able to login to Edgenuity before Monday.  If you have any issues, you can reply back to this email.   

Juniors and Seniors in ELA this semester have a MANDATORY zoom meeting with Mrs. Culberson via zoom on Monday 1/12 at 2PM.  Check your emails!  

All class zoom meetings begin Tuesday 1/20.  Please see the class schedule on The Flyer, and add these dates to your calendar.  Zoom meetings are required and part of your attendance expectation for all EOC and Middle School classes. 

GOAL Academy is hosting the Blood Mobile on Tuesday January 13th from 8-12pm.  We would love to see you there.  This is a fantastic opportunity to get your in-person activity complete AND help out your community!  Please join us - and bring a friend!

Have a wonderful weekend and productive week!  

Happy Thanksgiving BCVS family!

We hope you have a wonderful week relaxing, enjoying family and friends and having fun.  

No work is assigned in Edgenuity until we return from break on 12/2.  This is the BEST time for students who may be behind to catch up, because the progress bar will actually move!  Teachers are not expected to grade work or unlock tests during this week, but they often do anyway.  Feel free to reach out, but remember to be respectful and kind.  

When we return, our students will show us what they have learned during EOC testing.  Students have been sent an invite on their school google calendar for their testing time(s).  The EOC testing schedule can be found here and on The Flyer.

Students taking an EOC have completed their class zoom meeting expectations for the semester! Teachers are available for help and students are encouraged to reach out as often as they need.  

Middle school students will have Math, Science and History class meetings as scheduled on Tuesday 12/2.  Only ELA is cancelled. 

**Update - Feedback on Clubs - Mandatory all students

Only a 10% of students completed this survey, and I suspect it was done during class.  This is very disappointing. Please take a few minutes and complete this form this weekend if you haven't already done so, to provide us with feedback for YOUR clubs! 

Attendance and participation in clubs has FAR exceeded our expectations.  Our students are remarkable, cordial, and learning to be leaders by taking responsibility and participating actively.  As such, all students will complete this Club Feedback form by Friday 11/21, so our teachers can review and plan for next semester.

Do you love music?  Did you know the PIE center has a recording studio?  Are you interested in a music club? Mrs. Culberson is - take a few minutes and complete this interest form if you are too!.

Art Collab

The 5ive Points Art Collab completed their final working session on Thursday and are gearing up for their Exhibition on Thursday December 4th from 5-6 pm.  We encourage all of our students to come see their work on display!  If you are one of the students in the Art Collab - make sure your pieces are turned into the museum by Friday November 21st! 

Christmas Party 

Save the Date!  Our Annual BCVS Christmas Party is December 16th from 4-6 PM.  The Leadership Council is actively planning lots of fun activities and snacks! Plan to bring a $10 wrapped gift for our exchange!  More details to come, so stay tuned! 

Registration

BCVS is looking for students!  Our registration link is open.  We are seeking students to begin in January.  Please forward our website to your friends and family seeking a virtual school!  BCVS Application Link

RSVP for STEM Explorers

Join us 12/01/2025 as we use drones to navigate an obstacle course. Please RSVP here.

The seventh meeting of BCVS STEM Explorers will be Monday, December 1, 2025 from 1:00-2:00 PM. We will meet at the PIE Center CORE entrance (where the flagpole is) for drop-off and pick-up. This will be the last STEM Explorers meeting before Christmas Break. 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, coordinator of the BCS STEM Hub, and Ms. Pam Coleman, an Innovation Specialist with Bradley County Schools, will also be supporting our STEM Explorers. Please RSVP here.

A recent technology issue has been found.  Students do not have google permission to email more than one person at a time. This is impactful when students are trying to "reply all" or include two teachers in an email.  Students must either forward a sent email, or copy/paste and email each person separately.  I am sorry for the inconvenience.

All high school students at BCVS are assigned an advisor to provide an additional layer of guidance and support throughout the school year. Mr. Armenta is the advisor for 9th and 10th grade, and Mr. Peltier is the advisor for 11th and 12th.  From Mr. Peltier for 11th and 12th grade advisory:

We will have an 11th and 12th grade zoom advisory on Monday, November 17th from 3:45 pm to 6:00 p.m. This will be an individual conversation lasting just a few minutes if you have met all of your BCVS obligations. It could be longer if you are failing or behind in your progress. I will email a zoom link before the advisory. You might have to wait a few minutes in the waiting room. It went well last month for those who attended. If you are unable to attend the zoom due to work or other important obligations, please email me at your earliest convenience and I will make arrangements with you.

Learn how it works, why it’s so important, and how to complete it so you don’t leave any money on the table!  Watch 

"FASFA: What is is & Why it matters" in Schoology this week for more information

Additionally, students who have completed TN Promise will receive information regarding a MANDATORY meeting to remain eligible.  This will only be sent to the email the student provided in the TN Promise application.  All students should be checking their email AT LEAST DAILY.  Keep an eye out for this email, so as to not miss out on this opportunity!

Have a wonderful and productive week!

Good afternoon BCVS family,

Way to go 7th Grade - 100% attendance in Science for the 3rd week in a row! ELA 9th grade also had 100% attendance, and 10th grade ELA had 95% attendance, but the one student who missed, did the work PRIOR to the meeting.  BCVS students are remarkable.  

Important dates this week:

11/10 - Stem Explorers 1:00pm, Walk/Run 4:15, Terra Running

11/11 - Veterans Day, Class meetings zoom

11/12 - Leadership Council zoom

11/13 - 5ive Points Art Collab 11-1, Whisk Takers 4:00 UT extenstion PIE Center, Life Hacks zoom

Academic Integrity

Every student enrolled at BCVS must work hard to maintain academic excellence. Our students are expected to rise to challenges and work with the teachers to create an educational foundation that will carry them through whatever post secondary goals they set.  Academic integrity is essential in any school, but even more in a virtual setting.  It is imperative our students review the expectations for academic integrity in our student handbook, as well as the consequences if the expectations are not met.  Parents should be on the lookout for students using their phone to take pictures of the questions instead of answering them with notes, copy/pasting questions into google, AI searching screenshots, using app scripts to speed up videos, modifying browser settings, and more! Thank you for partnering with us to grow our students and build their futures!  

Advisory

Did you know every high school student at BCVS has an advisor? Mr. Armenta works with 9th and 10th graders, and Mr. Peltier supports our 11th and 12th graders. Advisors check in on your academic progress and are here to help with anything school-related—whether it’s grades, classes, friends, or even just how you’re doing overall. Mr. Peltier will be sending out an email soon inviting his students to join a drop-in advisory Zoom meeting. Keep an eye on your inbox and next week’s newsletter for all the details!

RSVP for STEM Explorers

Join us 11/10/2025 as we tackle another STEM construction challenge using Sphero Blueprint kits. Please RSVP here.

The fifth meeting of BCVS STEM Explorers will be Monday, November 10, 2025 from 1:00-2:00 PM. 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, coordinator of the BCS STEM Hub, and Ms. Pam Coleman, an Innovation Specialist with Bradley County Schools, will also be supporting our STEM Explorers. Please RSVP here.

Unfortunately, The Tinsley Park Fall Festival has been canceled due to location issues.  The leadership team has decided to move the event to the spring.  

We are only 2 weeks from Thanksgiving Break and 3 weeks from EOC testing.  Please make sure all students in EOC courses know what days they test!  

EOC Testing Schedule

Students currently enrolled in Math 1, 2 or 3, ELA 1 or 2, Biology, and/or US History have an EOC scheduled for the first week of December.  Please look at The Fall EOC Testing Schedule and make sure these very important dates and times on your calendar.  Please adjust any doctors appointments, work, or vacations you may have scheduled during this time.

Inclement Weather Reminder:

At BCVS, all work is scheduled based on our the district calendar.  If Bradley County Schools are closed due to weather, only zoom meetings and in-person events are canceled; Work in Edgenuity and IReady remain assigned are to be completed.

Digital Citizenship Week

Bradley County Schools celebrates Digital Citizenship Week October 20-24. We invite students to think about all that being a good digital citizen involves: building healthy habits, engaging respectfully with others online, using tech ethically (citing sources, respecting copyright, avoiding plagiarism, etc.), protecting privacy, balancing time online with the time in the real world, and being thoughtful about how their digital footprints shape their reputation. Parents can support this by modeling wise tech use and by guiding teens toward a balanced, positive digital life.

Digital Citizenship Week Billboard Design Contest

• Description: Create a billboard design using our Canva template.

• Deadline: Friday, 10/24/2025 using this Google Form.

• Theme: Navigate Your Digital World: Charting a Safe and Smart Digital Path

• Prize: One school level winner will receive a prize pack, certificate, and will proceed to district competition. One district winner will appear on a digital billboard near the South Cleveland Wal-Mart the week of 11/10/2025.

From Ms. Clem and STEM Explorers coming up Monday:

Save Your Place for STEM Explorers on 10/20/2025!

This week, we are playing SNAP2IT, a competitive strategy game in which players try to build a working electrical circuit. The winner is the first player to turn on a light by snapping a path of Snap Circuits between a light and a battery pack. Each game is different. We should have time to play a couple of rounds and the chance to learn a little science, too! RSVP to save your place!

The third meeting of BCVS STEM Explorers will be Monday, October 20, 2025 from 1:00-2:00 PM. 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, coordinator of the BCS STEM Hub, and Ms. Pam Coleman, an Innovation Specialist with Bradley County Schools, will also be supporting our STEM Explorers. Be sure to RSVP!

Also from Ms. Clem regarding Digital Citizenship week

 Digital Citizenship Week

Bradley County Schools celebrates Digital Citizenship Week October 20-24. We invite students to think about all that being a good digital citizen involves: building healthy habits, engaging respectfully with others online, using tech ethically (citing sources, respecting copyright, avoiding plagiarism, etc.), protecting privacy, balancing time online with the time in the real world, and being thoughtful about how their digital footprints shape their reputation. Parents can support this by modeling wise tech use and by guiding teens toward a balanced, positive digital life.

Digital Citizenship Week Billboard Design Contest

• Description: Create a billboard design using our Canva template.

• Deadline: Friday, 10/24/2025 using this Google Form.

Good Afternoon and Happy Friday BCVS family!

As always, we have had a busy and productive week!  Our seniors will be re-taking the ACT on Tuesday, and I am excited to see how they do after all the work they put in at bootcamp this week!  

On ACT day (Tuesday, September 30th) seniors can park in the lot on Parker St, and walk around the Center for Sports Medicine Side of the PIE Center to GOAL.  The doors open at 7:30, close at 7:50 and testing begins at 8am.  If you are dropping a student off, please drive around the back of the PIE Center, and drop students off at the GOAL Academy door.  Pick up will be in the same location at 12.  Students MUST bring their CHARGED chromebooks. We are providing the students free Hardee's Biscuits for breakfast and a grab-and-go lunch. Your next mandatory in-person event is 10/20/25 for Application Round Up @ GOAL. ​

​​

Attention Sports Club Members - your SECOND meeting is Wednesday October 1st, 5pm @ Walker Valley.  Couch Nunnelly has sent out a remind notice as well as an email.

This is the last week before Fall Break!  No work is assigned October 6th - 13th.  Students who are behind are encouraged to work during this time and catch up!

From Mrs. Cochran in Schoology this week:

Hi Class of 2026,

I'm excited to share some important updates about your TN Promise journey!

 Introductory Email Coming Soon

If you completed your TN Promise scholarship application between August 1st and September 23rd, you’ll receive your first email from tnAchieves/TN Promise later this week. This message will also be sent to the parent or guardian contact listed on your application (if provided).

 Just Applied? Here’s What to Expect

If you’re still working on your application, no worries! You’ll receive your introductory email within about seven days of submitting it. It’s not instant—our partners are working hard to load new applicants into their system, and it may take up to a week for your application to show up.

 Weekly Communication Begins After November 3rd

Once the TN Promise application deadline passes on November 3rd, all applicants will begin receiving weekly updates to help you stay on track.

 New TN Promise Meeting Format

This year, you’ll have the flexibility to meet your TN Promise meeting requirement by either attending a live Zoom session or watching a recorded webinar. You won’t be assigned an in-person meeting, but rest assured—our BCVS team and tnAchieves are here to support you every step of the way. 

We’re proud of you for taking this step toward your future, and we’re here to help you succeed!

Congratulations to 7th grade for all students meeting their IReady requirements last week and for 100% attendance in all four class meetings this week!  These students have earned a special reward Ice Cream Party on Thursday 9/25, 2pm in the BCVS office!  Make sure to respond to the invitation so we know you will be there.  Well done, scholars!  

All but two 8th graders met the IReady requirements as well! I challenge the middle school to make 100% IReady goals and we can have an Ice Cream Party in October!  

This is the last week in September for In-Person events.  If you missed your club OR your club is online only, you need to make sure you attend Art Club, STEM Explorers, or have 3 additional advisory zooms with teachers to satisfy this requirement.

The second meeting of BCVS STEM Explorers will be Monday, September 22, 2025 from 1:00-2:00 PM. We will meet at the PIE Center CORE entrance (where the flagpole is) for drop-off and pick-up.

A reminder about Major Clarity from our school counselor, Mrs. Cochran:

 Hey Students!

This week’s goal is simple: log in to MajorClarity and complete two short assessments—your Personality Assessment and Learning Style Assessment.

 Why This Matters

These tools help you learn more about you—how you think, how you learn, and what kinds of careers might be a great fit. The more you understand your strengths and preferences, the easier it is to make smart choices about classes, jobs, and life after high school.

 What To Do: Click the link below to read through MajorClarity materials and follow the steps listed there. 

1. Log in to MajorClarity using your school email

2. Complete the Personality Assessment

3. Complete the Learning Style Assessment

4. Click submit when you’re done

That’s it! You’re taking a powerful first step toward planning a future that fits you.
