Good afternoon,
BCS has released the Elementary Consolidation Proposal. The proposal will be shared publicly during the School Board Work Session set for Tuesday, March 8 at 6 p.m. at Montpelier Elementary.
https://www.bcs.k12.in.us/page/elementary-consolidation-proposal
Tuesday, March 1, 2022 - Earlier this morning, a hard lockdown was called at BJSHS. The lockdown was in response to the report of an alleged weapon on campus. Per corporation and building safety protocols, the hard lockdown was communicated to students and staff and the appropriate personnel were immediately contacted, including law enforcement. Building and corporation level administration, in collaboration with local law enforcement officers, investigated the alleged threat and a search was executed - NO WEAPONS WERE FOUND. Once law enforcement determined the building to be secure, the lockdown ended. We have returned to normal operations at this time. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
BCS staff take making Blackford better seriously by participating in a variety of professional development opportunities.
Last week, BCS Literacy Coach Monica Myers conducted a presentation to work with staff that included: Amanda Ehrhart, pre-Kindergarten teacher, Katie Barnes and Jessica Barker, kindergarten teachers; Rachel Shadiow, first grade, and fellow Literacy Coach Cissy Clock
The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) has just released Indiana’s Priorities for Early Literacy Plan that will be implemented this coming 2022-2023 school year. Mrs. Myers is one of many educators across the state who participated in drafting the framework to provide additional support for Indiana schools as they teach students to read. Known as Indiana’s Priorities for Early Literacy, the framework focuses on intentional efforts to ensure students receive foundational reading skills for long-term success. This includes supporting schools in implementing evidence-based literacy practices based on the Science of Reading.
