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.
Brag Sheet
Our students participate in clubs, teams, and groups across the county at other schools, rec leagues etc. We want to celebrate them, too! As we move through the year, if your student earns an award or accolade OR you want to share the impact BCVS has made on you or your student, let us know, 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.

Advisory
Advisory
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.

Seniors - From Mrs. Cochran in Schoology:
Paying for college doesn’t have to be scary, that’s what the FAFSA is for!

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!
Brag Sheet

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:

Parents can support this by modeling wise tech use and by guiding teens toward a balanced, positive digital life.

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!

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.
Log in to MajorClarity using your school email
Complete the Personality Assessment
Complete the Learning Style Assessment
Click submit when you’re done
That’s it! You’re taking a powerful first step toward planning a future that fits you.

The much anticipated Stem Explorers begins on September 8th! This is open to ALL STUDENTS but you must act fast and RSVP from your BCS device. Details from Mrs. Clem, below:

Don’t miss this chance to lead and learn in the nation’s capital!
We are all learning to navigate the EdgeEx platform of Edgenuity. This week we discovered:
If you have trouble submitting in an EdgeEX course, go back and make sure all of the videos have been viewed until the end.
The teachers are unable to reset assignments if the videos have not been played until the end.
"Hands on Labs" in BIO should have been hidden.
We are working with Edgenuity to get that resolved. If you see one coming up in your assignment calendar, please email Mr. Kibler @Jason Kibler
Text-to-speech in the EdgeEx platform has failed in some courses. I sent off for support, and Edgenuity believes to have resolved the issue for some students. I recommended clearing your cache and cookies (ctrl + h) and trying it again.
If it does not work, please send me a video or screen recording so I can forward it for further support.
Tests and exams should not need a teacher review to open
If you have a course the requires a teacher review before the lesson opens, please email the teacher and Mrs. Gott.
You all have a lot of work assigned every day, and you should not wait for an additional attempt to be added to your course in order to move on. Instead you should proactively complete the guided notes, and submit them with your emailed request for an additional re-take.
If you get an error, can't move forward, or something is not working, please send me and your teacher a screenshot. I am forwarding these issues to Edgenuity as quickly as you send them to me to be fixed for all users!
Short written responses in all courses that are assigned, are not optional. Students who submit by typing a letter or gibberish will be locked out of their course, and must conference with a teacher and/or the principal to continue moving in their curriculum. Submitting work in this fashion wastes valuable time for the student AND significantly more of the teacher and principals time to unlock.
Be 100% sure you have watched all the videos in the lesson to completion if you are having trouble moving forward.
ACT Practice Weekly Challenge:
Calling ALL High School Students - It is never too early to prep for the ACT! Seniors - You will be retaking the ACT in just a few weeks. Start prepping with Lesson 2 and complete this exit slip. (These links are for students and only accessible on BCS devices.)Students will earn an entry for a prize drawing for every lesson completed! Prize winners will be announced on the last Friday of the month. Seniors only have one month to prepare, so every entry in September will count for 3! Let's GO!

Good Afternoon BCVS Family!
Our middle school did an AMAZING job on the IReady this week. We had 100% attendance and our students were all actively engaged! Students should now be working for 45 minutes on each of ELA and Reading on their my path program of IReady per week!
Our students met their teachers in virtual class meetings on Tuesday. Mr. Langdon's Math 2 class had the best and perfect attendance! Way to go, 10th grade!
Mrs. Culberson recognized 9th and 10th grade ELA for being punctual, looking sharp and participative! Well, done, scholars!
Clubs have been rostered and the teachers will be emailing you by Monday!
Seniors- Mrs. Cochran has TWO important announcement for you on Schoology:
Seniors!! Please see the deadlines for TN Promise. This is FREE MONEY for college. Our goal is for ALL BCVS students to register, even if you are not planning on going to college.
and
The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation College Scholarship Program application is now open on the Common App. The deadline to apply is November 12, 2025.
Selected Cooke Scholars will:
Receive scholarship funding toward college attendance costs so they may graduate with as little debt as possible.
Access comprehensive advising about how to maximize their college experience.
Be eligible for internships, study abroad, and to apply for the Cooke Graduate Scholarship.
Eligible applicants must meet the following requirements:
Senior standing – Complete four years of high school in the U.S., a U.S territory, or on a U.S. military base and plan to graduate in spring 2026.
Fall College Enrollment – Intend to enroll in an accredited four-year college beginning in fall 2026.
GPA – Earn a minimum, cumulative unweighted GPA of 3.75 or above.
Test Scores - Submit a standardized test score or scores from one of the following: SAT, ACT, AP, or IB exam. There is no minimum score requirement to apply, however, applicants must have taken one (or more) of these tests and submit the score.
Demonstrate Unmet Financial Need – We will consider applicants with a maximum annual gross income of $95,000. Last year’s cohort of new College Scholarship recipients had a median family income of approximately $34,000. During the selection process, the Foundation will conduct a full financial review which will take into account all income and assets of the student and the student’s parents.
Mrs. Clem has important questions for students about our STEM Explorers club beginning on September 8th:
Bradley County School leaders have worked as a collaborative team to create weekly ACT lessons to help ALL of our students do their best on the ACT Test. Only students logged into their BCS accounts will be able to view the slide. I will be sharing these lessons with our weekly newsletter, and including opportunities to earn rewards along the way! Please look over Week 1, HERE - Especially if you are a senior as the retake is September 30th!

Have a wonderful weekend and productive week!
Good afternoon and happy Friday BCVS Family!
Our students have had an awesome first week of school. Every student has logged in, started working, and is moving along well!
Many Edgenuity courses have updated to the new EdgeEx platform and look and function differently than last year. There are more opportunities for the students to review and practice learning. I appreciate our students, families and teachers for working through the growing pains collectively and positively. Parents: the students' activity time when they are working in Edge Ex courses is not displayed on the attendance log in the parent portal. I have reached out to Edgenuity for more information.
Tuesday is the first Class Meeting for all EOC and middle school students. Students should receive an email by Monday with the zoom links, and can also access them in schoology. Richard Kokello and Ryan Ballinger helped me create a video on how to access your zoom links through Clever AND some tricks and tips for navigating Edgenuity. Check it out, HERE!
Middle School will be benchmark testing the IReady Wednesday and Thursday this week. Please plan to drive around the back of the PIE Center, and drop students off at the Wacker Commons entrance. Bradley County Schools Nutrition is providing our students with free breakfast and lunch on these days. The doors open at 8:00, close at 8:20 and testing begins at 8:30. Drop off information can be found on The Flyer. This is a mandatory event for all middle school students.
Our first In-Person Connect is September 10th for Back to School Bowling! I hope you all decide to come out and have some fun!

Good Afternoon BCVS Family!
Thank you for attending orientation this past Wednesday! I am very proud of our school. It was amazing to see all of our students, parents and teachers actively engaged. It is refreshing to hear so much excitement about our interest clubs. Thank you for choosing BCVS!
School email and Edgenuity login information was shared with parents and students Thursday evening. Within 2 hours of the email being sent out, 25% of our students logged in! That does NOT include the 20% of students who logged in the day of orientation. Our students are remarkable. Please ask all students to log in today so I can iron out any issues before Monday.
MOST of the students were able to choose their clubs. If not, please use this form to do so, now. Students will need to use their school accounts to complete this form. Many students emailed in responses and they have been recorded. Club results will be revealed toward the end of August.
Many students have asked about the Alt S/P course listed on your schedule. All this does is acknowledge that students in BCVS have an advisory teacher assigned. No action is needed.
Class zoom meetings begin on Tuesday August 19th. The schedule can be found on The Flyer on the Student schedule tab.
Parents and students should bookmark our BCVS Calendar. *Fair warning - if you subscribe to the calendar, you will get an email every time an event is updated, which is often. You can view the calendar on The Flyer.
Middle School Students will take the IReady Diagnostic in-person at the PIE Center on August 20 and 21st! Make sure to mark your calendars.
Our orientation doorprize goes to:
Come by the BCVS office to get your $10 Burger King gift card!
