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.
Also, Alliance for Children will be returning to BCI on January 31st to teach our students about Internet Safety. This lesson will explore talking to trusted adults about internet usage, digital footprints, cyberbullying and responsibilities of using the internet. All students who are opted into counseling lessons will receive this lesson. If you are unaware if your student is opted into counseling or have any other questions about this lesson, please reach out to your grade level counselor.

6th grade students and families,
Please join us on February 3rd at Keller Middle School to hear about registering and selecting classes for the 25-26 school year.

If you are unable to make this event, rest assured all the information presented will be shared with you in a presentation, video and website towards the end of January.

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!
