All middle school and high school students have access to Membean. This program is a proven way to improve English vocabulary, one of the greatest needs of our students.

Your child should use Membean at minimum 3 days a week for 15 minutes each time (or maybe your child will want to do more!)

Upcoming

• Kindergarten Book Character Day: 19 September
• Teacher Professional Development Day and no school: 26 September
• First fire drill of the year: 2 October (the fire department will join us for fire safety education)

Action Plan: BCCI Improving Education

One research based educational initiative to improve student learning is for teachers to give attention to “classroom culture”. How do the students feel and behave in the classroom? Are the expectations for the classroom communicated clearly? A positive classroom culture improves education. BCCI teachers have been working hard this school year to set an excellent, stable classroom environment, creating the best setting for students to learn.

We are all working hard to educate and bless your child!

MAP TESTING Beginning

Starting next week through the end of September, students in Grades 2–12 will take the NWEA MAP Growth assessments in Reading, Language, and Math. BCCI administers MAP twice a year—September and May—to track student growth and guide teacher instruction. 

• MAP is not an achievement test
• The September test is diagnostic: shows where students are starting
• A small increase—or even a dip—in scores compared to MAP scores earlier this year is normal after summer break
• What matters most is the growth students make during the school year.

High School Only Announcement

To parents and guardians for high school students: starting Monday, no personal devices (computers/iPads) are to be brought to school. Each day the student is expected to come to school with their school iPad (fully charged).

Alma Attendance

Alma is new for all of us. Please be patient with the attendance feature. Attendance will be taken at the start of the day. Teachers are still trying to figure out their routine and taking attendance for each class they teach. Sometimes teachers take attendance after the class. So parents do not need to be concerned if they see a class with missing attendance.

BCCI Vision

To develop students who will…

Live with a sense of Mission

Reflect God’s Character

Work with Excellence

And bless our neighbors through Service

BCCI continues to have a great start to the school year!

Pastor Mac

Students love the hoopla hoops we added to the playground!

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
