Dear BCI parents,
It’s that time of year…….puberty video viewing time!
On Friday, March 14th, 5th and 6th grade students will be watching the puberty videos linked below. I have attached links for each video below for you to view. It may be helpful to watch this video in advance with your student to answer any questions they may not want to ask at school. Boys and girls will view the films separately during their co-curr time.
The REQUIRED PERMISSION FORM must be completed and turned in to your student’s homeroom teacher by Wednesday, March 12th. If the permission form is not signed and returned, your student will not be able to view the video.
If you choose for your student to opt out of watching the video, they will be allowed to go to the library during this time.

Counselors’ Groups at BCI
It’s that time of year again where Mrs. Hester and I look for students to participate in our Spring Groups. Parents are welcome to sign up their students for a group by using this form.
We are also looking for families that may be interested in a grief group. In previous years, we have partnered with the community service, GriefWorks, to provide a safe and comfortable way for students to connect with other students who have experienced loss. Please reach out to Jake Seibert, 5th grade counselor, if this experience for your student would benefit your family.

BRAVE NEWS
Thank you for dropping off your student(s) in the student loop using Phillips Dr.
The front entrance of the school is reserved for carpooling students of 3 or more who attend BCI.
As a reminder, for the safety of our students and staff, no cell phone use is allowed, the speed limit is 10 mph on school property, and 20 mph in School Zones.
Parents are allowed to have lunch with their student in the vestibule or in the atriums.
We encourage you to review the map for drop off and pick up expectations. Our focus is for safety for all. The easiest piece of advice is to follow our staff's instructions in our drop off/pick up lanes. If they need you to pull up, please follow this procedure; otherwise, you will be backing up the lanes for drop off which can cause students to be tardy or not being aware of safety concerns as they pertain to our crosswalks. Thank you in advance!
All the days have been beautifully identified on this calendar to help with planning. If you would like access to a printable copy, please click on the following link: https://www.kellerisd.net/about-kisd/calendar
