WHAT TO EXPECT:
BCS will begin the school year with 100% remote learning. Once we transition to the A/B Rotation Plan that is a mixture of both in person and remote learning, the schools will look much different.
RECOMMENDED SCHOOL SUPPLY LIST: While each school/classroom may have specific supply needs, we have composed a list of recommended school supplies for the 2020-21 school year. It's important to note that the big update this year is that students can not share materials with one another.
SCREENING FOR COVID 19: The NC DHHS has created a reference guide for Suspected, Presumptive, and Confirmed Cases of COVID-19 in K-12 schools. This breaks down the process for screening and protocols for individuals who are suspected, presumptive, and/or confirmed to have COVID-19.
