Program Change Reminder
Effective Monday, October 19th, our school will shift to a full-remote model. Students who attend school in person will still be able to do so, however they will log on to computers and join online classes when in the building. We will be consolidating pods to have larger groups of students in our common areas – the cafeteria, gym and large classrooms. We will maintain social distancing guidelines and students will still come in on a three-day rotation, as they currently are.

This is our biggest fundraiser and every dollar raised goes directly to support our students. The money you contribute is fully tax deductible and the PTA (you are a member!) decides how to spend it; that means the whole school benefits through the Direct Drive.
This year we are asking each family to contribute $900. Of course, we value 100% participation and any amount is deeply appreciated. You can contribute any time of the year and as frequently as you wish. Many people have set up an automatic monthly donation via PayPal.

Each day before coming to school, students will need to fill out a health screening survey. You can take the survey online or you can fill out a paper form when you get to school. Students who fill out the paper form will also undergo a temperature check.

Thank you for taking the time to read this- while I have been working with Donors Choose for many years, this is uncharted territory to request books shipped to my home where I individually wrap and mail them out to students- what a shift for us all, on every possible level.
My students all live in New York City but in varying settings and circumstances. While some have the means to compensate for what is lost in the classroom, many don’t have ready access to books and supplies.
As an English teacher, I’ve always believed that if kids have books, then anything can happen. It’s the least I can help with during these times.
For our summer reading, students will read short story collections of their choice, examining a particular author’s craft, style, and ability to shape meaningful characters and settings. In the fall, we will begin our curriculum, either near or far, by examining the specific elements of the short story as a unique genre.
Thanks so much,
Rita Ross
Attention BCCHS Seniors! This is time-sensitive! Take a look!
