MID-YEAR GRADES DIRECTIONS:
Seniors: We will be able to send mid-year transcripts electronically by the middle of February. Please complete the green “request for mid-year report” form to list the colleges to which you want a mid-year transcript sent. Please DO NOT send emails to the counseling staff requesting your mid-year grades. We will only accept the green mid-year request form that is on our web site or in the counseling suite. Complete this form and bring it to Ms. Peebles (Registrar) in Counseling.
If you need mid-year grades mailed, please bring in a business sized/stamped addressed envelope for each school.
Thank you,
B-CC Counseling Dept.

We're also organizing an electives course fair this Wednesday, February 8th, at lunchtime, which will bring all the teachers of all levels of electives - AP, IB, honors, on-level - together in one place for students to ask questions.
Let me know if you have any questions.
