Welcome Back


Dear BCHMCPS Families,
After a bit of a delay due to the excessive heat last week, I want to welcome all families to the 2018-2019 school year! As we start the year, a few general reminders for the start of the year:
·      The new drop off/pick up procedures will start tomorrow with the first day of school. As a reminder, the entrance for vehicle morning drop and afternoon pick up is the driveway between the school and the HYCC on the left of the school as you face the front of the school. The exit is on the right of the school- this is NOT a drop off/pick up entrance. If you are dropping off for Day Care, please use the same door as always. If you are dropping off to Day Care before 8:30 you may use the entrance on the right as before. If you are dropping off for day Care after 8:30 you must use the school drop off entrance on the left. ONLY school staff and Day Care families (before 8:30) may use the right side driveway to enter. True walkers (walking all the way to school) will be dropped off at the front school entrance.
·      This week’s weather is predicted to be hot. We have water available at school but you may want to send your child with extra bottles of water to ensure good hydration during the day. Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately for the warm temperatures. Long sleeves and heavier long pants may be best avoided during the warmer weather.
·      Curriculum Night originally scheduled for Wednesday September 5th has been rescheduled to Thursday September 13th due to the school opening delay. Please mark you calendars for September 13th. The schedule is below:
o   5:30-6:30- K & 1 in classrooms
o   6:00-6:30- Title I Information- Grades 2 & 3
o   6:30-7:00- Gym- Everyone
o   7:00-7:30- Title I Information- K & Grade 1
o   7:00-8:00- 2 & 3 in classrooms
·      Our first All School Community Meeting is scheduled for this Friday September 7th. All School Community meetings are held next door at the HYCC. Students MUST have a signed permission slip to leave the building grounds and go to the HYCC. Permission slips will be sent home tomorrow. Please sign and return the permission slips to your child’s teacher ASAP and before Friday morning for your child to go to the meeting at the HYCC. This permission slip will cover all the meetings this year at the HYCC and needs to be signed just once.

I look forward to welcoming Grades 1-3 back tomorrow morning and seeing our Kindergarten families at Orientation. I also look forward to seeing all of our families at either the All School Community Meeting this Friday or at next week’s Curriculum Night.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Kind regards,
Dr. Sheila Kukstis
Principal
