P.S. Important Parent Reminders

Monitor Your Child While Playing Roblox

• Roblox is a popular online game, but some games like Mimic and Dead Silence have scary content that could be upsetting for young minds.
• Please supervise your children when they play Roblox to ensure they have a safe and positive experience.
• Encourage regular breaks, talk with your child about the games they play, and use parental controls where possible.
• Another one called Italian Brainrot, feature content that may be confusing or inappropriate for younger children.It's spelt "trallallero trallalà" — a nonsense phrase meant to mimic carefree singing, like a child’s rhyme or when you mumble a melody because you don’t know the words.

 About the "Tung Tung Tung Sahur" Song

• The viral Tung Tung Tung Sahur song has been popular among students, but it can have negative effects on young minds by distracting them and impacting focus.
• We recommend parents monitor exposure to such content and discuss with your children the importance of balancing entertainment with their studies and well-being

End of the Year Tests

Parents please ask your child(ren) about their tests and help them to manage their study and emotions. We want students to work hard but not get anxiety.

Make sure students have distraction free study time, good rest and sleep…and pray!

Keep encouraging them to do their best and that the most important thing is that you love them, not their grades. A little pressure is good, but a lot of pressure is bad. 

Blessings, 

Pastor Mac

Why BCCI?

I was thinking about this question. There are many answers, but here is one that first entered my mind:

Experienced teachers who deeply care for their students.

We take seriously the trust you give us to care for and educate your children. Our goal is to improve every year so that we can do our very best in education.

Blessings,

Pastor Mac

 Keeping a Healthy School

• We all need to work together
• BCCI—
• Cleaning classrooms and public spaces
• Encouraging handwashing
• Encouraging mask wearing if needed
• Parents—
• Keep your child home if he or she has a fever. Your child needs to stay home until being fever-free for 24 hours
• Keep your child home if he or she has cold symptoms: sore throat, cough, sneezing, runny nose
• If symptoms are mild, a mask must be worn at school
• ALSO: if your child needs tissues at school, please send tissues with your child. The school does not provide tissues.

Parent Committee

The Parent Committee is about to complete its first school year.

The committee is looking for some more parents, who love BCCI, to join.

If you are interested, please let Pastor Mac know.

Character Theme of Humility

All students will be challenged to think of ways that they can serve others. Students will draw or write about their ideas. The student work will be posted in the school entrance area soon.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.

Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

not looking to your own interests

but each of you to the interests of the others.

From the Bible—Philippians 2:3-4

Blessings,

Pastor Mac

Blessings,

Pastor Mac
