Teacher Requests 2018-2019 School Year

BCIS and BCPS will accept teacher requests beginning April 3, 2018 through May 1, 2018 at 3:45. Requests will be dated, and upon receipt and consideration will be prioritizes as such. The teacher request form is available at either BCIS or BCPS. Parents/Guardians are responsible for picking up and returning the teacher request form. Both BCIS and BCPS will not email or accept emailed teacher request forms.

We utilize educational reasons for the placement of students. We look at a variety of factors, like class size, boy/girl ratios, ability levels, the need to separate certain students, social/emotional needs, and students with special education services. We will accept parent request and give them careful consideration. A parent request will not guarantee placement with a certain teacher.
