Hello!  If you have your BCS issued laptops at home, please return them to the school. If you already turned in your BCS issued laptops we will be re-issuing them in the next couple of weeks.  Scholars will need their laptops for use during the school year.   Diagnostic testing will begin next week, so the scholars really need these to do their work.  Thanks parents! If your scholar is not feeling well with a fever, please do not send them to school.  If they have a fever, remember, they cannot come back to school until they have been fever free for 24 hours without the use fever-reducing aids like Motrin or Tylenol.
