Belén Consolidated Schools

Hello Eagle families, We are excited that we can bring back all students at all BCS sites for full-time in person learning. Of course, we understand that some parents/guardians and students may request to continue participating in the remote learning model, and we will continue supporting this request. BCS has been utilizing an education model where students are off on Wednesdays which allows teachers to prepare lessons, hold office hours, and participate in professional development. As we move forward in developing systems which are best for all stakeholders, we are collecting data. To assist us in accomplishing this, we are asking that you take a few minutes to let us know what weekly schedule works best for your circumstances. Please complete our survey which can be found at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/8QP9T9P Lawrence A. Sanchez Superintendent, Belen Consolidated Schools

The Board of Education will hold a Regular Board Meeting scheduled this afternoon at 5:00 PM. More information: https://www.beleneagles.org/article/425794?org=bcs

Good afternoon. This message is intended for the parents of those students who had been told there student could attend school 4 days per week. We have received further guidance from the PED concerning students coming back 4 days per week. The students with an IEP, EL students and at risk students may attend school in-person for 2 days a week like all other students, and then attend in small pods 5:1 for the other 2 days. This means that cohort A students cannot mix with cohort B students at any time including on busses, in the classroom and on the playground. Unfortunately we do not have enough resources to provide 5:1 cohorting while also meeting the needs of other students. Because of this we will not be able to provide students with an IEP. EL students, and at risk students with the opportunity to return 4 days a week.
