Student Bookbags
Students are asked not to leave their book bags in the hallways or by doors, as this creates unnecessary trip hazards. Please manage your books and backpacks in the lockers. -
Volunteer Meeting
Baccalieu Collegiate is inviting any community/family members who would like to volunteer their time in cooperation with the school for a meeting. Further information will come out in the upcoming days regarding the day & time. -
Personal Electronic Device Policy
As per NLSchool's policy, cell phones and other similar personal devices are not to be seen during class unless permitted by the teacher for learning purposes. -
Absence / Sign-In / Sign-Out (Family)
You must make attendance a priority for our youth. Consistent attendance is crucial for academic and social success, as it ensures that students are actively engaged and able to fully benefit from the educational opportunities we provide.
PowerSchool makes a daily call-out to families of students who have had any unexcused absences or lateness. Please go to the website to review our sign-in, sign-out, and absent procedures, including access to our BCP Absent Form (and/or call the office or email the homeroom teacher) to formally notify the school of an absence.
If your child will be late, you can complete the absence form and indicate the arrival time and reason. Students signing in late must first report to the office. Students signing out early for appointments, etc., must have a parent/guardian come into the school before their dismissal from class. Once a student is dismissed, they must come to the office directly before approval to leave.
