Dear BCAM Families:

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

Please be aware that now every single BCAM student 1st Quarter Report Card can be found in their MySchools Account. If you do not know how to access your student’s MySchools Account, please immediately email our Parent Coordinator Joseph Cooper (jcooper12@schools.nyc.gov) and he will get you linked to your account. And please also be aware that 1st Quarter Report Card Grades are official. They now will average with 2nd Quarter Report Card Grades (November 8th- January 21st) to result in your student’s semester grade which is placed on their permanent transcript.

In addition, the below bullets 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 and emotional development is our clear mission. As always, in any situation, we are partners and we are #BCAMStrong!!!

Best,
