All students have the right to write! Students have the right to answer questions and can choose interrogative sentences at any time.
Anything you write in class can and will be textual evidence.
You have the right to a teacher. One is always present for questioning,
If you cannot find a teacher, one will be provided for you.
It's a great day to be on duty at BCS!

Our preschool students had big smiles today as their "teachers" were Child Development students from Mrs. Sasha Hudson's class at BJSHS. According to Mrs. Hudson, the high school students planned games and activities to do with their students and were pretty excited about the prospect of working with the preschoolers.
We appreciate the cooperation between staff and schools to make these lessons happen for our students. Great job, Bruins and Cubs!
