博愛中文學校 Berryessa Chinese School

Dear BCS Parents, Teachers and Staff,

Happy Easter to all of you and please continue to stay home and practice social distancing.

On April 1st, due to COVID-19 BUSD announced the continual closure of school and extending online learning for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. BCS will continue to be close and transition to online classes for the remainder of the school year.

Due to the school closure and quarantine, BCS registration team had created new procedures to handle the returning student package. I want to thank the Registration team and our parent reps who had tirelessly worked to collect back all the registration packages. This is very important as BCS need the data to prepare for next school year. If any parent still have outstanding returning student pack, please contact your parent rep immediately.

The Open Enrollment Seminar (新學年網上註冊座談會) for new parents had
been moved back one week, this is now on Saturday 4/25 at 9:30 am. Open
enrollment for 2020-21 will begin after seminar.
