Don’t Let Your Student Fall Behind: Every Day Counts!
Each school day brings with it a chance to learn something new, gain new experiences, and make new memories with friends. The path to success starts by being here today, because Every Day Counts!
Resources for the Bearcat Community
At BCPS, we’re here to help. If your student has any challenges arriving at school on time, or if you're a community partner looking for how to offer support, we have resources available for you to use:

Resources for Families
Between work, parenting, extracurriculars, and other commitments, we understand that getting your student to school can be difficult. You’re not alone — BCPS and our community partners are here to help.

Community Partners: Get Involved!
We want everyone to know that every day counts. Families and students shouldn’t just hear about how important school is from their teachers — we need the entire community to help us share this message.
Why is attendance important for BCPS students?
Good attendance is a proven ingredient for success. Students with strong attendance records are more likely to read at or above their grade levels, graduate from high school, and develop important social skills.
Each day brings new opportunities and adventures. Field trips, fun projects, school assemblies, surprise guest speakers, and treats for a classmate’s birthday celebration are just some of the lifelong memories and one-of-a-kind experiences your student may miss out on by not being in school regularly.
- Showing up ensures your student doesn’t fall behind. Each school year includes 180 days, and our teachers put a lot of care into developing lesson plans that maximize learning to fit this schedule. So when students miss school, they miss out on key lessons every day and can quickly fall behind.
Every day counts, Bearcats! Make sure you don't miss a moment.
