A Note from Mr. Burris
Hey BCS Family,
This is a very exciting time of year for each of our families as we launch into the Fall Semester! Our staff has been praying for you and your children to have a season of revival in your walk with the Lord. It has been on my heart to set our gaze upon God throughout this entire school year. Each term we will be focusing on a different theme that will help us to accomplish this goal:
Term 1- He Is God
Term 2- We Are His
Term 3- For His Glory
Term 4- Proclaim His Name
Our teachers are working through a study throughout the year which highlights the attributes of God and our administrators will be reading Knowing God by JI Packer. I strongly believe that when we see God for who He truly is, as clearly portrayed in the Bible, our worldview will be greatly impacted. Psalm 19:1 says “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” My heart’s desire is for our administrators, staff, teachers, students and parents to have that as our aim this year.
John Piper said this in his book God Is The Gospel:
“The ultimate good of the gospel is seeing and savoring the beauty and value of God. ‘Behold Your God!’ is the most gracious command and the best gift of the gospel. If we do not see Him and savor Him as our greatest treasure, we have not obeyed or believed the gospel.”
Let’s behold our God together this year!

Handbook Reminders
Please check out our Student Handbook HERE.
Here you will find information about dress code, grading policies, etc. Below is a reminder from our handbook about our cell phone policy.
Cell Phones
While cell phones are a common part of everyday life, BCS seeks to foster an environment of student engagement with their peers, teachers, coaches, and staff. As such, the use of personal cell phones on BCS campus will be prohibited.
Grades PK-4: Cell phones will not be allowed. This includes smart watches with cellular service.
Grades 5-12: Cell phone use by students on the BCS campus is prohibited during the school day (between the hours of 7:15 & 3:15). This includes smart watches with cellular service. Students are allowed to be in possession of a cell phone strictly for the purpose of allowing parents to track their child’s location. If a student chooses to bring a cell phone to campus, it will remain stored at all times during the school day, either in a locker, a backpack, or a vehicle. If the use of a cellular device is observed, in any form, the device will be confiscated and the appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken. This rule also applies to the use of headphones/earbuds.
Medical Necessity Exception
- A student may be granted permission to carry a cell phone on campus for medical reasons if a parent/guardian provides proper medical documentation to the school administration.
- Approved cell phones must remain on silent mode and should only be used for medical-related communication.
Extracurricular Travel Exception
- A student may be in possession of a cell phone while at, or en route to, a school sponsored event (sports, field trips, etc.). However, the phone shall stay stored away at all times during the extracurricular travel unless use of the cell phone is authorized by the activity sponsor.
