BCK8 Roar, 4/18/21

Here are a couple of calendar updates. First, Friday, April 30, is a K-8 teacher work day. There is no school for students on that Friday. This is for all K-8 in-person and remote students. Second, Friday, May 7, is an assessment day for the in-person K-5 students. An assessment day means that students only come to school during their scheduled assessment time. This is not a regular school day. Buses will not be running and the elementary kids will not be in school all day. The in-person elementary students will come to school by appointment to do testing with their teacher. More information will be coming from your child’s teacher.

Kindergarten enrollment for 2021-2022 is open. We still have spaces available for Kindergarten students next year. Please see the BCK8 website for more information.

BCK8 Roar, 4/11/21
The Colorado state testing continues this week. Colorado reduced the number of tests that students are taking this year, Jeffco CMAS Update. Here is our Bear Creek K-8 CMAS schedule for the in-person students over the coming weeks, BCK8 CMAS Testing Schedule 2021. Students in grades Kindergarten to Second Grade do not take CMAS tests.

For our remote families, we need to create a CMAS schedule based on the number of families that are willing and able to bring their child into the school to do CMAS testing. Remote families, will you please complete this form, BCK8 CMAS Remote Communication 2020-21?
