Homework Support

Thank you to all of our parents for helping support students by making time after school to get caught up on missing assignments. Your partnership makes a big difference!

This school year, we've added peer-to-peer tutors to our Homework Support program and it's been a huge success in helping students who need a little extra guidance. Currently, we have been offering homework support for all freshman courses and math courses. Starting in Quarter 2, we're excited to expand and include this support to our sophomores.

We encourage students and parents to:

Check PowerSchool regularly to stay informed about missing assignments and academic progress.
Encourage students to connect with their teachers for extra help when needed.
Remind students to check their email for important Homework Support updates.

Together, we can help students stay on track and build strong study habits!

Career Speakers and Mock Interviews

BCHS English teachers are looking for individuals willing to share information about their careers with our senior English students. We want our students to have the opportunity to explore a wide range of professions before they graduate from high school. Our goal is for our students to learn about your journey toward your profession, what a typical day looks like and your reflections on your job as they consider these careers for themselves.

All career presentations take place during our FLEX time on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:25 PM - 1:50 PM from September through December.

We are also looking for help with mock interviews our seniors will be participating in. If you have interviewing experience, we invite you to join us as we aim to give our students a professional interview experience.

If you are interested in speaking with some students about your career or participating in the mock interviews, please contact Pam Gillespie at pgillespie@bcpsk12.net or 616-878-6635.

Ski and Snowboard Club

A club for 5th through 12th grade students who enjoy hitting the slopes together. This pre-paid club transports students to and from BCHS and Bittersweet Ski Resort six Tuesdays in January and February.

An option to meet at Bittersweet (no bus transportation) will be available for those who prefer to meet us there.

See the informational document for details.
