5.   From Peggy Sherwood: I want to thank all the students and parents who participated in the 7th Annual Clynk Program. This program allowed us to collect an extra .50¢ per Clynk bag.  For this quarter we will receive $400.00 and this will go into the teacher’s class supply fund.  Please continue to fill-up the Clynk bags, and also ask friends and family who don’t return their returnables to collect them for you.  If you have any questions please contact Peggy Sherwood at pegsherwood70@gmail.com. Clynk bags can be picked up in the Elementary and Middle School Offices. Remember for every Clynk bag filled your student earns a free dress down pass.

8. Need to report a student absence/tardy? For your convenience there is now an absentee form on this website that will email all your students teachers and the office to let them know your student will be absent/tardy! Click here.

9. When ordering yearbooks from TreeRing, please make sure that you choose the yearbook you want, either MS/HS or Elementary. The price of the elementary book is $10, so if you are charged more the wrong book will be ordered. 
   Due to the difficulties in ordering Elementary and MS/HS yearbooks, I have put some steps together that will help. Part of the problem has been that the Elementary yearbooks have their own passcode.Please follow these steps to order your Yearbook:
   1.  Orders can not be done on mobile devices. It has to be laptop or desktop with Adobe.
   2.  Register with treering.com using the passcode for the yearbook you are ordering.

Monday, April 30th - Please keep this night free, as I am working with Crosspoint to figure out a tech rehearsal time.  I'm hoping for 3-5, but it may need to be later in the evening.

Also, please note:  The Lost Pirate only needs to come on Thursdays in April.  The announcer can come to the first practice.  We will work out the other times for him to come, but it won't be all of the practices.

Let me know if you have any questions!  Thanks! Mrs. York (ryork@bangorchristian.org)

DANCERS:

Mrs. Blanchette and I would like to have a dance team to perform during the Treasure Island musical.  They would have practices from 3-4 on Tuesday, April 3 and Tuesday, April 10.  They would also have a practice on April 24 from 3-5.  Then they would come to the rehearsal on April 30th.  The time for the 30th is to be determined.

If your child has already received an acting role, then he or she won't be a dancer.  However, all other students are welcome.  Please let me know if your child is interested and able to commit to the practice times already mentioned.  I've had a few students tell me they'd like to do it.  I told them to discuss it with you and get back to Mrs. York.

Thank you and have a blessed day!  Please don't hesitate to send me any questions you may have!

For years Pee Wee basketball has been held on Saturday mornings, during the winter months. We'd gather together, do a couple drills, and end with playing short scrimmage games. Although there isn't anything wrong with this approach, my biggest concern is that in the midst of providing a great atmosphere to run, play, and burn off the excess energy all kids have, we weren't focusing enough efforts towards what will eventually change the face of the BCS basketball programs....the fundamentals.

With that being said, I'd like to try something different this year in regards to our PeeWee Basketball program. I'd like to hold sessions after school on Fridays from 3:00-4:15.The whole time period will be devoted to ingraining the basic fundamentals of the sport into the core of our young student-athletes. My hope is that this will be an easy transition for those who attend BCS as their children will already be on campus, and this also frees up everyone's schedule on Saturday mornings!

Click here and you will find a registration form along with the Friday dates for your child's age group.

Go Patriots!

The online pre-registration form for current families can be found here: 2018-19 Pre-Registration Form.  Our "in-house" registration period ends Saturday, March 31st and the registration fee of $50 per student is due by that date to complete the registration process.  (Registration fees will increase to $100/student starting April 1st.)

If you are registered with our online tuition system (FACTS Tuition Management) we will add your pre-registration fee to your account.  Families who pay annually or semi-annually (and are not in FACTS) can leave registration fee in the main office (cash or check).  You can also pay online here: Registration Fee.   

Registration for new BCS Families will start on April 1st.  Please visit our Admissions Section for more details.  

Part of the new tax bill that was passed before Christmas was a change to 529 savings accounts. Previously, parents could open 529 savings accounts only for college tuition. Now parents are allowed to use the savings accounts for private K-12 education as well. 

It might be to your advantage to look into this. You can speak to your bank, accountant, or financial advisor to determine if this program would be beneficial for you.

Moms in Prayer International is a prayer ministry with the goal of having every school and every student covered in prayer.  We meet weekly to pray for one hour and we use the ACTS prayer format and one accord prayer. We focus heavily on praising God for Who He is and asking Him for "big" things for our kids and schools.  We have a couple of groups going right now and are always looking for more group leaders.  

Right now we meet on Tuesday mornings from 7:30 to 8:30 at thre radio station conference room and will be starting up a group which will meet 5:30 to 6:30 pm on Sundaynights. (Starting Sunday, September 10th).

We are also planning a moms in prayer informational to be held on October 7th from 9am to 11am at Glenburn Evangelical Covenant Church.

2017- 18 Calendar Download

Each teacher will have a Clynk folder.  When a student returns a Clynk envelop, with the student’s name on it, the teacher will then place the envelop in the Clynk folder that I provided. On a weekly basis I will check the Clynk folders and check off every time a student returns his or her envelope. I will then give the teacher the dress down passes their students have earned. Students cannot dress down until they have their Clynk dress down pass.  Every time the student returns their envelope, with their name on it, the student earns a free dress down pass. I will be replacing  Clynk bags in the teacher’s folders and have more Clynk bags at the elementary and middle school offices. If you have any questions please contact Peggy Sherwood at pegsherwood70@gmail.com.
