BCPS Staff Ends School Year! https://5il.co/gf6s
Did you wonder what teachers were doing during the COVID pandemic? Well there was collaboration, zoom teaching and zoom meetings. Thanks BCPS staff for all of your work the last 9 weeks. Also THANK YOU families. Until we meet next fall, have a safe summer!
As school concludes I would like to thank Mrs. Bagley and Mrs. Fink for 20 years of service and Mrs. Finke for 15 years. These ladies spend many hours outside the classroom preparing so their students can create memories and become better versions of themselves!
1 yr ago I challenged these ladies to hang a plaque in the championship ring at BC, last plaque was ‘95 for the girls. The team finished 7th (highest finish since ‘94 title)and we added 2 names to the ring! Memories I will cherish for a lifetime! Darn COVID-19
Battle Creek Public Schools (BCPS)
E-learning 4th quarter of 2019-2020 School Year
Title I
BCPS District
Due to Health Safety Measures during the COVID-19 Outbreak BCPS staff devised E-learning review lessons based on the curriculum that was taught in the first three quarters. Staff used several platforms to share learning such as; Google Classroom, Seesaw, Readworks, Accelerated Reader, iXL, Classkick, Spelling City, Lexia, Zoom, and our district web page.
Title I lessons were shared with Title I students; these lessons included the use of Literacy Lesson Interventions(black and white books sent home) with students in grades Kindergarten and First. Students in grades 2-4 were assigned nonfiction reading through Readworks. Students were assigned
an Article-A- Day activity and a 5 Question Set Article weekly. Teacher was able to grade and reply to student’s assignments. The classroom teachers in grades K-4 also shared their Seesaw accounts with the Title I teacher so she could monitor and comment on the Reading and Language Arts activities completed by the Title I students. The Title I program depends on strong communication skills and cooperation among staff. This e-learning quarter ran smoothly because of continued cooperation and concern for student shared by staff.
BCPS weight room will open on June 1 for students with restrictions. Sign up schedule will be released today via email to 11th/12th grades at 11:00 am and then to 7-10th grades at 11:30 am. Siblings should sign up for same times. Sanitization and safety will be a high priority.
Getting the floor prepped for some purple paint!
CONGRATS to next year's cheer squad! Virtual tryouts weren't easy but you all persevered! Thank you to all the girls who tried out. We are proud of all of you!
Gym Floor Update: Still shiny from the stain and sealer. Can’t wait to see it with some purple on it!
Battle Creek High School will have five teachers participate in the 8 To Great training in June. 8 To Great by MK Mueller will provide a better understanding of how to build Great relationships with our students. #Buildingpostiveschoolculture
