Updates and Important Information
- Midterm Exam Rewrites
Midterm rewrites are this week, February 16-19th. Please see the schedule below, or check out the following link. If we miss school due to weather, exam rewrites will be pushed back and follow their respective order. Midterm Rewrite Schedule
- Long Weekend Ahead - February 20 & 23
Teachers have a PL day on Friday, February 20th, and all schools have Monday, February 23rd, off for Winter Break. So, students have a 4-day weekend coming up. - White Hills Field Trip
We’re excited to share that we are planning a ski/snowboard trip to White Hills this year! This opportunity will be offered to high school students first. If we do not reach bus capacity, it will then be opened to younger grades. Full details, including permission and payment information, are available through Rycor. - School Development Surveys
School Development Surveys are conducted annually to gather feedback from students, staff, and parents/guardians to inform the school development process. The survey results will be provided to our school and used with other data to identify the school’s strengths and challenges. We will then create and implement a plan to build on successes and address areas of challenge. Parents/Guardians, please take a moment to fill out the survey using the link below, so you can share your opinions and let us know how we can continue to improve. Surveys are now open!

Survey Invitation Letter - Girls 17U NLVA Provincial Volleyball Tournament
Congrats to the 17U Girls' Volleyball Team on competing in the NLVA 17U Provincial Volleyball Championships in Clarenville this past weekend. The girls made it to the quarter finals in tier 3 and lost a hard-fought match with a club team from Central. They played great all weekend and showed that our athletes are excellent ambassadors for the school. Let's go BCP! - Empowering Parents & Educators in a Digital World (PL)
Professor Brett Holfeld from Grenfell Campus is running two extended learning courses in the next few weeks that may be an excellent professional learning opportunity for teachers, administrators, staff, those who work with children and adolescents, as well as parents. Please see the link below for more details.
Empowering Parents & Educators - BCP Annual Carnival Week
Due to missed school (because of weather) and having rewrites closer to the original day they were written (as per the updated Assessment and Evaluation Policy), we are pushing Carnival Week back to next week, February 24-27th. Bring your school spirit! - Prepared for Class
Students are expected to come to class prepared each day with all required materials, including pencils, notebooks, and their Chromebook. Chromebooks should be charged, and students should have their chargers with them. - Tutoring for Tuition
Tutoring for Tuition is now available. If you feel your child would benefit from extra academic support, please reach out to Mrs. Reid or Mrs. Slade to get started. We’re happy to help students build confidence and strengthen their learning. - Lost & Found
Our lost and found table by the gym entrance is full. If your child(ren) is missing any clothing, that'd be a good first place to check. - Extra Curricular Schedule
Baccalieu Collegiate offers extracurricular activities, including sports, drama, tutoring/study hall, DND, and more! Please check our Calendar and our Facebook page for schedules. - Absence / Sign-In / Sign-Out (Family)
Attendance is critical for academic and social success, as it ensures that students are actively engaged and able to fully benefit from the educational opportunities we provide. Please make sure that you sign your child in and out when arriving late or leaving early. - Kids Eat Smart Breakfast Program
We are looking for additional volunteers for our KES Breakfast Program. Anyone interested, please contact Ms. LeShane at marleneleshane@nlschools.ca. - Star Creations - BCP Apparel
Show your Baccalieu pride with school clothing/gear from Star Creations! Order online through the link on our school website under BCP Merchandise. - 295 Baccalieu Sea Cadets
The 295 Baccalieu Sea Cadets would love to welcome new members! Cadets meet every Wednesday evening at 6:00 p.m. at the school. It’s a great opportunity for youth to build skills, make friends, and get involved in their community. - Code of Conduct
This year, we have introduced an updated Code of Conduct. Please make sure you review this with your child(ren): Code of Conduct - School Allergies
Please be aware that certain foods are prohibited at school due to severe allergies. We have students who may require an EpiPen if exposed to the listed allergens. There are also people at the school with scent allergies, so please be mindful of this. - Cannabis and Smoke Free Policy
Please note Baccalieu Collegiate and the District support a Tobacco, Cannabis, Smoke and Smokeless Free Policy. This policy also prohibits clothing that promotes these products. District Policy Document - Doorways
