Brave Families -
I hope this communication finds you all enjoying family time, keeping cool, and still enjoying summer activities. Soon - 35 days (yes - weekends were counted so the number wouldn't seem so shocking) - our Brave family will be coming together to start the 2025-2026 school year! For those of you that would like to start preparing, I hope that the following information will help guide you to our opportunities to come on campus, meet our fantastic teachers, and "walk the schedule" with your Brave.
For our new Braves - Welcome!
For our returning Braves - Welcome back!
We will be sending out updates in July in order to keep you in touch with needs, changes, and opportunities for you and your Brave to attend.
Until then, enjoy your summer!

WHAT? We get our OWN locker?
We know that there is a lot of excitement when it comes to receiving a locker as well as decorating a locker - some for the FIRST time. We also know that there is a lot of apprehension of remembering the locker number as well as the combination. Please set your child's mind at ease. Teachers have had years of experience of teaching this skill as well as give plenty of time for students to practice.
If you are planning on coming up to school on Saturday, August 16th, anywhere from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM for locker decoration, please follow the following expectations:
Locker dimensions: Length - 28 inches; Width - 9 3/4 inches
Refrain from adhering any decorations to the outside of the locker.
As long as items can be easily removed WITHOUT damaging the surface of the locker, it will be fine to use.
Remember that the purpose of the locker is for a safe place to store backpacks, books, etc... If the decor takes up too much space, it will defeat the main purpose of this space.
Talk through with your child how they will keep his/her locker number/combo with them throughout the day. So, he/she will have it memorized, however, having a plan for the first couple of weeks of where it could be stored may be a good idea.
Lockers will be given to students on the first day of school.
Do NOT send food that contains or may contain peanuts or tree-nuts to be eaten as a snack in the classroom. Snacks that do not contain nuts as an ingredient but say they may have been processed in a facility that has peanuts/tree-nuts will still be allowed as a snack.
Birthday parties are a special time for children, and we want to celebrate your child. If you want to send something fun to celebrate, we are requesting that you send non-food items (bubbles, pencils, stickers, etc...). Please do not send a treat containing peanuts/tree-nuts. Any treat brought into the classroom to be consumed by other students MUST be store bought with the ingredient labels attached.
Thank you for being a big part of helping keep BCI safe for all students!
We have students/staff with different allergy needs - some very severe. A severe allergy is an allergy that may cause an anaphylactice reaction. A child with a serious food allergy can suffer a reaction merely by touching an allergy containing food.
Please take note of the bell schedule. If you attended BCI last year, there are a couple of changes.
3rd period will be considered our HOMEROOM. During this 16 minute period, students will be receiving announcements, House activities, and team building.
6th period will be when lunch and recess take place. The 6th period teacher assignment will indicate when your student will have lunch. We will post this information soon.
Dismissal times have changed just a little. We still will do a stagger, however, we will be dismissing our BUS and WALKERS at 3:13 PM and our CAR RIDERS at 3:15 PM.
