Let's make it a great week! 📚💪
As of January 9th, we have used all five of our allotted snow days for this school year. Moving forward, any additional inclement weather days (days 6–11) will be designated as remote learning days. Starting today, January 10th, students with an emergency card on file will bring home their iPads each evening, in the event of inclement weather.
On remote learning days, students will be required to:
1. Log in to the links provided by their teacher for live instruction.
2. Complete and submit the assignments provided during these sessions. Students are expected to work independently, and all assignments will be graded upon the return to school.

Due to the snow days this week, our Social Studies Fair has been postponed. The new date will be Fri., 1/17, with set-up on Thurs., 1/16. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Otto (botto@k12.wv.us). Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing all the amazing projects next week!
Dear Tomahawk Families,
Happy New Year! As we embrace the beauty (and challenges) of winter, I wanted to share some important updates and reminders with you. Please click the link below for our January updates, filled with important information and highlights for the month: https://secure.smore.com/n/6kywrc
Today’s snow day is a reminder of how unpredictable winter weather can be! I encourage everyone to enjoy this cozy day at home—whether it’s building a snowman, sipping hot cocoa, or catching up on some much-needed rest. Most importantly, please stay safe! BCS is closely monitoring the weather conditions and will keep you informed about any schedule changes in the coming days. Be on the lookout for updates via NTouch, Class Dojo, the BCS website and/or BCS Facebook page.
Stay warm, stay safe, and we hope to welcome students back to school very soon! ♥️

Reminder: Students arriving late cannot be dropped off in the bus loop without an adult escorting them into the building. This is a safety issue. Drop-off runs from 8:15 to 8:40. Please ensure students arrive on time each day as they miss valuable instructional time when they are tardy. Thank you!
