Congrats to our Boys and Girls Cross Country Team on their 22-23 season! Here are some photos from the Regional meet at Holloway Park yesterday.
Assistant Principal, Ms. Serra visited Mr. Floyd’s 8th grade Avid class at Pizzo K-8 Middle School. His eighth-grade class shared their research surrounding high school options with Ms. Serra. Some of this students chose to research BDCHS! Students were excited to hear more about BDCHS during the visit.

Congrats to Ms. Spivey, one of our Sunshine Committee members who collected the most spiders today in our spider escape competition! There may be some spiders still on the loose, as not all of them were accounted for at the end of the day...
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT: Our teachers participated in several trainings today. We partnered with Frameworks of Tampa Bay who provided a workshop for our teachers that focused on Social/Emotional Learning.
THANK YOU: To our amazing PAC for yet another surprise for our hard-working staff!

A Message from Principal Fernandez...
BDCHS will be closed to students Monday, October 17th, as previously scheduled. District schools will be in session to make up for hurricane days, however our block scheduling and school hours provide us with more instructional time. We have submitted a proposal to the district showing that our calendar has been adjusted by giving up our early release dates for semester 1 and we are awaiting confirmation of our plan. We will notify you if any further changes will be made.
I would also like to remind families that the school day begins at 8am. This means that students are required to be in their seats at 8am. We have been seeing a lot of tardies to school in the past few weeks and we need your assistance to make sure our students are in class on time. It would be very helpful to have your student on campus by 7:45. Students are released to class at 7:55. Media Center doors will be closing at 7:58. Students will then have to enter through the front door. Please note that late arrivals to school not only affect your student but all other students in the classroom as well. Students will excessive tardies for quarter one will be put on an attendance contract for the remainder of the semester.
Thank you for your continued support.
Principal Fernandez
