Underclassmen, you can turn in your computers and chargers at the Help Desk this week if you don’t need them anymore. You will keep your backpacks unless you will not be back here next year. The final collection will be through homerooms on the last day of school – Friday from 10:49 – 11:36.

Any student interested in being a Help Desk Aide next year should go by the Help Desk, room 306, and pick up an application. Be sure to do this before you leave school this week.

Students, please turn in your overdue library books. Please do not leave school this week without taking care of this and returning them to the library.

In addition to regular summer school and credit recovery, Credit (Summer) Acceleration and Credit Advancement are also available for high school students this summer. Credit Acceleration allows students to complete a course never attempted before through self-paced instruction. The student will show mastery by successfully completing an end-of-course assessment in that subject.

Summer School enrollment forms are available at the school and at www.bcbe.org. Students will be charged $150 to make up one-half of a course or $300 to make up a full course or two half courses. The maximum fee charged per student is $300. Students must register with their school counselor and pay tuition by 11:30 a.m. on June 4, 2015. Schools will accept payment for summer school by cash or money order (no personal checks).

Credit Advancement allows students who already know most of the standards taught in a particular course to prove mastery of course content by successfully completing pretests and posttests in units of study in that subject. Both programs are available through ACCESS, and a request form signed by a parent is required. Contact your child’s school counselor for further information.
