Dear Breckenridge Community,

What an incredible Homecoming week it has been! As the Superintendent of Breckenridge Community Schools, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for the amazing support you’ve shown throughout this special time.

Homecoming is more than just an event—it’s a tradition, a time where lifelong memories are made. Whether it’s building floats, participating in pep assemblies, dressing up in spirit gear, enjoying the classic bean soup, cheering at the parade, witnessing the crowning of our Homecoming royalty, or attending our bonfire and alumni events, each moment brings us closer together as a community. The Macho Volleyball game and the big football game were highlights of the week, showcasing the school spirit and camaraderie that make Breckenridge so unique.

This week isn’t just about competition or celebration, but about the lasting memories and connections we create along the way. From the youngest students experiencing their first Homecoming to alumni reliving their high school days, it’s a time for everyone to come together for fun, tradition, and a shared sense of pride.

I want to thank everyone—students, staff, parents, alumni, and community members—who played a part in making this week such a success. Your enthusiasm and involvement truly highlight the strong, supportive spirit that makes Breckenridge such a special place.

Let’s continue building these traditions and making memories that will be cherished for years to come. Thank you for making this Homecoming week one to remember!

Sincerely,
Wade Slavik
Superintendent, Breckenridge Community Schools

BCS has openings in several positions in both buildings.  BES is looking for 2 paraprofessionals.  The MS/HS is looking for a paraprofessional.  We are looking for a K-12 Special Education Teacher (this teacher will split time in both buildings).   Check out our website for more information.  

Did you know that BCS offers Second Chance Breakfast for students who may not have participated with breakfast prior to school starting?   Both buildings offer this opportunity and provides our students with the option during the late morning hours.  

Just a reminder that October 2nd is a full day of school and it is "COUNT DAY."  Count day is the day that the Michigan Department of Education uses to determine official fall student counts.  Staff will be vigulent with making sure attendance is completed on time.  Parents, please assist by trying to make sure your student is on time and present on count day.  Thank you! 

Our Breckenridge Football program was awarded a grant via T-Mobile.  Thank you Coach Gregory for leading this grant application.  This will assist to provide our team with resources to continue to move our program forward. Go Huskies! 

Thank you to our incredible administrative team, teachers, paraprofessionals, building secretaries, and support staff, including transportation, food service, maintenance, and building principals. 🏫 Homecoming week is always a busy time, filled with extra activities and responsibilities, and your dedication has made it a successful one. Your time and efforts are truly appreciated. A huge thank you to all of our staff for everything you do! 🐾💙
