Dear Students, Parents and Guardians,
Governor Cuomo has extended the school closure period through Friday, May 15th. The earliest we will return to school is Monday, May 18th. Also, as of today all people are required to wear a mask or facial covering when in public and where social distancing is difficult. This would apply to places such as public transportation, grocery stores etc. Please continue to be safe and make choices that will help keep you and our community safe. Thank you.

Please read this important update regarding Regents exams for this year
Dear Community Members,
We have been asked to post the following information by the New York State of Health. This is not a District service, but rather information on how to apply for health insurance in the event your coverage has been compromised. Any employee of the District with health insurance questions should contact Deb Stephens. Thank you.
Dear Students, Parents and Staff,
We received notification earlier today of (2) important developments regarding our current school closure.
First, school will remain closed through April 28th. As of now the earliest we would return to school would be on April 29th. This date is subject to change depending on the health and safety conditions being experienced in our area or throughout NYS.
We also were informed that all Regents Exams in June 2020 have been cancelled. We expect to receive further guidance on this matter in the coming days. As of right now we do not know what this means in terms of graduation implications or if students will be expected to make these exams up in the future.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during these uncertain times.
Wishing you all health and safety.

Dear Members of the Community,
Please be advised that we have been instructed by Schuyler County to prohibit gatherings of adults or students on our school campus. Some examples given were to prohibit pick-up basketball games, groups of children on playground equipment etc. It was suggested we shut our campus down completely, but we’d like to allow a community member to walk on the track or a parent and child to use the playground as long as we possibly can. We ask that anyone who is on the school campus needs to adhere to social distancing guidelines. Thank you for your understanding and
cooperation. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Dear BCS Families,
I wanted to share with you that today we received notification from Governor Cuomo that he is extending the statewide school closure date through April 14th. As of now we are anticipating returning to school on April 15th. This date will likely be re-evaluated as it draws near based upon the conditions surrounding COVID-19 across New York State and our region. Thank you for your continued efforts to help limit the spread of this virus and for your support of our District and community.
Yours in education,
John R. Marshall
