Friday, April 5th is a remote learning day for BCS. Due to our construction timelines we need to stick with our remote learning plan despite the widespread power outages. Students in grades PK-8 should complete the next remote learning packet that went home in folders earlier this year. Teachers will be available via Rooms messaging or email to support your child’s learning throughout the day.


Get ready to show your BCS school spirit next week:


Due to the storm, there will be no school at Nobleboro and Great Salt Bay on Thursday, April 4. There will be a remote day at Jefferson, South Bristol, and Bristol unless there are widespread power outages. Stay tuned for a decision on Friday as we see how the storm progresses. Stay safe!

Grades 4 and 5 recently hosted Heidi Fairbanks a former musher of the Iditarod. 4th and 5th graders followed the Iditarod Race this year during their reading classes. It was neat to meet someone who’d been there, done that, and could answer all our questions. - Mrs. Arzate
