Dear BCAM Families:

We hope this letter at the beginning of our 2^nd Academic Quarter finds you well. We want to thank all the families that attended our Zoom-Video Parent-Teacher-Conferences last Thursday and Friday.

We also want to invite you to our annual Winter Visual Art & Performance Showcase Friday, December 16, 4:30pm-7:00pm here at school. We ask all students and guest to make a $5 entry donation to our arts program. This showcase will be followed by a student party for all students in good academic standing 7:15pm-9:15pm.

Please see enclosed your student’s BCAM student 1^st Quarter Report Card. This can be found in their MySchools Account. If you do not know how to access your student’s MySchools Account, please immediately email our Community Director Joseph Cooper (jcooper12@schools.nyc.gov) and he will get you linked to your account. And please also be aware that 1^st Quarter Report Card Grades are official. They now will average with 2^nd Quarter Report Card Grades (November 14th- January 23rd) to result in your student’s semester grade which is placed on their permanent transcript.

In addition, included in this mailer are your individual directions to access our Jupiter Online Grading System. This will allow you to access your student’s current grades whenever you wish. Our BCAM teachers update grades every few weeks, so if you don’t see a particular assignment, please be patient—it will be loaded upcoming.

Finally, the items below provide you key information about important topics and dates to support you in maintaining strong connection to our school community. We will continue to share updated information constantly via our Kinvo Text System, our website www.bcamhs.org, our Instagram @bcamhs, and phone calls. Please do not hesitate to contact us by Kinvo text, call (718)230-5748 or email Mr. Cooper with any questions or concerns. Your child’s safety and security, and academic, artistic and professional development is our clear mission.   As always, in any situation, we are partners and we are #BCAMStrong!!!

Best,

James O’Brien, Principal; Janna Bello-Andrews & Brent Lawrence, Assistant Principals;

Joseph Cooper, Community Director
