Did you know? - Information pertaining to a child deemed a close contact while at school:

Per Indiana statute, public schools are not permitted to inquire as to the vaccination status of students.  That does not prohibit parents from voluntarily providing that information.

Regrettably, if your child is found to be a close contact to a BCMS student who was confirmed to have COVID, our district policy states that your child must quarantine for ten (10) days before returning to school unless he/she is fully vaccinated.  Verification of full vaccination must be presented.

Should your child be fully-vaccinated he/she may avoid quarantining as a close contact and remain in school by providing proof of vaccination.

Teachers will update Homework Assignments daily by 3:00 pm.
