Scheduling for 2025-2026

Attention parents of all current 9th-11th grade students! The scheduling cycle for the 2025-2026 school year is officially underway. On Thursday, February 6^th during Flex, students watched a video from the counseling team with important information about scheduling and received a grade-specific email with all of the necessary documents and resources attached. These resources and more can be found on the BCHS counseling website under "scheduling information".

Counselors will be available to meet 1:1 with 9th and 10th grade students during Thursday Flex sessions from now until March 27th. Each counselor will have 5 spots available each session so please encourage your student to sign up. Eleventh grade students will have the opportunity to discuss their Senior schedule with their counselor during their Junior interview. We will not be pulling students from class to discuss next year's schedule.

If you have questions regarding your student's schedule or 4 year plan, please plan to attend conferences on March 4th. We look forward to seeing you there and your student during Flex!
