This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming the multilingual students from Goose Creek High School to our school! They shared their beautifully written and illustrated fairy tales with our multilingual students. This event provided a wonderful opportunity for the Goose Creek High School ML students to take on positive mentor roles and inspire our ML students, showing them that writing can be both fun and creative. Fairy tales are an important part of our HMH curriculum, and this collaboration allowed students to explore their creativity in a meaningful way. A huge shout out to our GC Gators and BBE Bulldogs for showcasing their amazing writing, listening, and communication skills! Keep up the great work!

This decision comes after recent severe weather and flooding prevented access to school buildings for three days, disrupting traditional classroom and school preparation time for teachers and staff. “We value the dedication of our teachers and staff in preparing classrooms and schools, and this additional day will allow them to better prepare to receive more than 38,000 students on Thursday,” said BCSD Superintendent Dr. Anthony Dixon. “Last week, teachers completed virtual professional development and training so now they can focus on classroom and school needs Monday through Wednesday.” School and district offices will be open regular hours, and extracurricular activities and athletic programs will also operate according to their normal schedule. Information and schedules for school specific meet the teacher and grade specific orientation days have been shared with families by school leaders. Dixon added, “We understand that disruptions in schedules are not easy for anyone so we appreciate the understanding of our parents and community as we work to ensure that the first day is the best it can be for students and teachers on Thursday.” Any weather day adjustments necessary as a result of this calendar change will be reviewed and communicated, if needed, at a later date.
