STUDENT EVENTS - Learning about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This week, all of our students have learned about the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by incorporating his life accomplishments into many of their lessons.

Mrs. Bolden's kindergarten and Mrs. Webb's 2nd graders were challenged during STEM time to create a podium for Dr. King to use for speech-making. During art time, they created "I Have a Dream" clouds with hopes and dreams for the future, as well as "Flip Flap" charts to show various aspects of Dr. King's life. Finally, the classes read several books about his work, and listened to songs that were important to Dr. King.

Happy "Un" Birthday to the students who celebrate summer birthdays! A big thank you to BCA parent, Kirsten Shipp, for honoring our students who don't get to celebrate their special day during the school year. She brought in cake to share with the K - 8th grade students during lunch to let them know they're not forgotten over the summer! Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Ms. Kirsten!

Kindergarten Open House - Tues., Jan. 25

4 - 7 p.m.

Please join us Tues., Jan. 25 between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to meet Ann Bolden and Sidney Ware, our kindergarten teachers, who will be available in the lower elementary hallway to answer questions about the curriculum and daily activities that your child will experience during these early years of learning, exploring and growing!

For safety and wellness - We ask families to please wear a mask when visiting. We will be socially distancing as well, conversing mostly in the hallway outside of the kindergarten classrooms. If your child is in our after care, please drop by the open house before you pick them up, if possible.

As you are visiting the open house, be sure to speak with Jane Mullinax, our business office manager, to learn more about BCA's Variable Tuition program! Families who have a rising kindergartener or above are eligible to apply!

Continuous Enrollment for Rising Kindergarten - 8th

This is a reminder from the Enrollment/Business Office for families of rising kindergarten - eighth grade students to make plans to pay the

5% enrollment deposit by March 1 for the next school year.

Families do not need to "re-enroll" with additional paperwork. The Continuous Enrollment process allows your child to seamlessly continue to the next grade level. Families simply need to make plans to pay the 5% enrollment deposit by March 1 for the next school year.

Families who might anticipate not returning to BCA must notify the Business Office by Feb. 28, 2022.

Again, the majority of BCA families will have the convenience of doing absolutely no paperwork to state their intention to remain at BCA, and simply pay the 5% enrollment deposit by March 1 for the next school year.

2022-2023 Variable Tuition Rates and Enrollment Deposit Amounts

Please Note! The Business Office will draft automatically draft your enrollment deposit. Please be prepared for this draft by March 1, or contact the business office to schedule your enrollment deposit draft prior to Mar. 1, 2022.

Child Care Tax Documents for 2021

Annual statements showing child care payments for 2021 will be mailed to parents by Jan. 31, 2022. This includes infants - PK4 child care and any after care for K - 8th grade families.
