Every five years, school districts are required to undergo an accreditation process to ensure we are providing a quality education to students. In preparation for the upcoming district accreditation review process, we are administering an AdvancED Parent survey. This information will be used by our school, the District, and the visiting accreditation team as a way to improve our school system.
Please complete the survey by Friday, April 27, 2018:
The parent survey may be completed by clicking here.
We value your opinion. If you have difficulties completing the survey, please contact the school’s front office at (904) 259-2226. If needed, you can complete the survey at the school, or we can provide a paper copy of the survey for you to complete.
If you have children in multiple schools, you will receive an email from the principal of each school. Please complete a survey for each school site. Please note: If you completed a similar survey earlier in the year, we are respectfully requesting that you complete this survey also. The parent survey is different from the survey administered in December.

As you may be aware, BCMS has made some changes to where students go on campus before the bell rings. 6th graders can go to the gym or their cafeteria. 7th and 8th graders can go to their cafeteria or the auditorium. The library is open to students from all grade levels but is limited to a certain number of students. As a reminder and for your child’s safety, please use the designated drop off loop located behind the superintendent’s office. Do not allow your child to get out of the vehicle on any of the main roads. Thank you for your continued support!
When students return to school on January 9th, there will be some changes to our morning procedures. When students arrive on campus in the mornings they should report to the appropriate area (see below) and remain there until the bell rings at 7:25.
6th graders may go to the gym, 6th grade cafeteria, or library.
7th/8th graders are allowed to go the auditorium, 7th/8th grade cafeteria, or library.
The library is limited to 88 students. You must use the double doors located by the bus area to enter the library.
When entering all of the designated areas, students should have a seat and remain seated until the bell rings. Food and drink are only allowed in the cafeterias.
We are looking forward to a wonderful 2nd semester.

In an effort to regain some lost instructional time due to Hurricane Irma, a district-wide decision has been made to cancel the seven official early dismissal days for the remainder of the school year. This decision was made in the best interest of our students and their education to regain some valuable instructional time.
Before students can have internet access at school, there is a contract located on page 11 in the student planner that students and parents/guardians need to read, sign, and return. If this has not already been done, please do so as soon as possible. Thank you!

Any student eating breakfast at school will report to your grade level cafeteria where you will remain until the bell rings. If you are in 6th or 7th grade and not eating breakfast you will report directly to the auditorium and remain there until the bell rings. If you are in 8th grade and not eating breakfast at school you will report directly to the gym and remain there until the bell rings. The library will be open before school. If a student goes to the library they will remain there until the bell rings. We will have a trial period where students can demonstrate responsible use of their cell phones before school only in the gym, auditorium and cafeteria. Before exiting their assigned area cell phones must be turned off and put away until afternoon dismissal at 2:05.
