District News
BCS Online School
The BCS Online School (BCSOS) is a fully digital learning option for K-12 students within Bexley City Schools who require off-site school placement for the 2021-2022 school year.

Enrollment in the BCS Online School is meant to be for a full semester or full year. It should intentionally be selected by interested families as the best learning environment for their child.

BCSOS is built upon an Ohio-specific curriculum and taught by Ohio-licensed teachers with a streamlined focus on core academics. This narrowed focus enables enrolled students and their families to prioritize attention on critical academic content while addressing family needs that prompted the enrollment in BCSOS.

BCS Online School is not intended to be a digital version of the programming offered in the district’s physical buildings. BCS Online School is a unique school within the district.

Additional information, including details about registration, can be found at https://www.bexleyschools.org/BCSOS.aspx. We've also created an FAQ about the BCSOS.
Student Device Pickup Dates
Any new students in grades 1-5 can pick up their assigned device on August 6 from 8:30-11:00 a.m. or August 11 from 1:00-3:30 p.m. in the main office of their elementary school.

All second graders will receive a Chromebook this school year. Before receiving the Chromebook, they will need to bring their iPad and charger to receive a Chromebook. iPads need to be returned so they can be prepared and configured for our incoming Kindergarten students. Kindergarten and first-grade students will continue to utilize iPads. 

New middle schoolers will receive their device on Thursday, August 12 when they pick up their schedule. New high school students will receive their device on Friday, August 13 at New Student Orientation.
Student Wifi Network
As we return in August, we want to make sure students are utilizing our 1:1 Chromebook computers that were generously purchased by the Bexley Education Foundation last year. Because we are supplying each student a device, we will no longer have a Student WiFi network for student personal devices. This was originally created for students to bring in personal devices when the school district was not supplying a computer for every student.

We require students to use the device the district purchased because it creates a more seamless experience when everyone is using the same device. Our Chromebooks are secured and managed in a manner that allows for the best possible support for needs and changes that cannot be easily accomplished if some students are using different platforms.
Dr. Fine Meet & Greets
Thanks to everyone who stopped by Maryland Elementary and Montrose Elementary to welcome Dr. Fine to the District. We hope to see more of you tonight at Cassingham Elementary (5 p.m.) and Bexley High School & Middle School (6 p.m.)!
Boosters' Golf Outing was a Major Success
The Bexley Boosters hosted a golf outing on Sunday, August 1, 2021, at Pine Hill Golf Club. The outing is considered the most successful golf event in the history of the boosters.

The event raised more than $25,000, which will directly support Bexley student-athletes, with a portion going to the annual Bexley Booster scholarship awards and the Andrew Good Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Thank you to the outing's sponsors, volunteers, and participants for their generosity in supporting Bexley Athletics. And a special thank you to Pine Hill Golf Club for hosting such a great event.
