There's definitely room for improvement.
My daughter got into a dual immersion program in another school so we had to do an interdistrict transfer. I got her letter of acceptance during spring break and had to complete the process the day they went back to school. HOW?! I called to leave a voice-mail but the call would simply drop, leaving a voice-mail was not an option apparently. So I emailed the two people that were listed as interdistrict transfer department and didn't get an answer, stil haven't. I do understand that they were on vacation but I still wanted to at least try to reach them. Thankfully the principal in the new school got back to me and after going to the school office and explaining, I was able to get a different deadline.
It's simply NOT possible or acceptable to require parents/gardians to complete any process with the district when they know they will not be available.
Please, do answer the phones. I understand that you're busy, but you could set up the phones to a waiting system at the very least! And yes, I continued to try and reach them by phone when they went back from vacation and the calls would still drop.

They keep your kids from going stupid. The best doing the best possible for our children. Truth. So quit bitching about how the teachers aren't doing they're jobs, pay em more and maybe then you'll get what you expect, not what you pay for.

These people are useless they never answer and when they do they are really rude to you and talk to you like they hate their job. They like to keep you waiting and waiting for a call that they never return how can they have so many employees and never be able to pick up a phone

My son has had nothing but great experiences with Nichols Elementary as well as Chipman Jr High. What you get out of the school is what you put into it. Parents can make such a difference by working WITH the teachers not against them.

If an parents has held their child back a grade you should let them put their child back to they're original grade level because for some children with them knowing their not on they're right grade level it can lead to stress on the child can eventually stress on the parents then the parents will start worrying about it their child is ok. If anything was to ever happen to a child that's parents came to bcsd to ask if they can put they're child to his or her right grade level and the people at bcsd say no or something about an test that can be bad because to much stress on the mind can kill you so please before it's to late when a parent comes there to ask if they can put their child to his or her original grade level say yes, call the parents that have called and tell them if they still wanting to put their child up to his or her grade level tell them your willing to before you can't.
