School Wellness Plan
ILP usage in the classroom
Each counselor will develop an email distribution list in
order to effectively communicate to all students. Topics of
the emails could range from announcements about
deadlines (scholarships, GSP, senior items, etc),
opportunities for academic enrichment, parent group
meetings, school contest, and other such items. This type of
system will allow for an additional form of communication.
Remind 101 is a tool to use to send email messages/texts
to student/parent
With the adoption of a school wellness plan, the staff and
students will be educated in the plan and the goals of the
plan. The plan will mirror the district wellness plan and will
ultimately be a plan for life long learning.
Professional Development supplied through staff meetings
and professional development on Domains 2 and 3 of the
Framework.
The goal is to have more departments become aware and
use the student ILP program. College/Career opportunities
will be discussed in various settings and with various staff
members.

Comments
This activity was completed during summer PD of 2013. Evaluations
were conducted and plans for future PD was developed based on
responses.
Additional professional development is needed in order for this activity
can be completed.
BCHS plans to continue professional development activities to
increase expertise in this area for all classroom teachers. The use of
Academic Time for the next school year will allow for the use of this
concept.
The literacy rotation for all 9th grade students began with the 20132014 school year. Staff will evaluate effectiveness with upcoming
PLAN scores.
Beginning of 2013-2014 school year all 9th grade students will
experience a literacy rotation course.
This activity continues to be implemented within our school. As
evidenced in our Program Review our faculty has utilized outside
professionals for class time and during extracurricular meetings.
The use of common assessments within departments is in progress
so that data from all assessments can be reviewed.
Each department and some individual teachers have all completed at
least 6 hours of content specific professional development.
During the 13-14 school year the departments have held monthly PLC
meetings. A more organized and detailed agenda will be the next
step for all PLC meetings.
Staff continues to use reports for scheduling purposes and for RTI.
Specific students have been targeted for RTI measures. We are
currently utilizing Ameri-Core individuals that provide this tutoring
along with Barren Beyond the Bell personnel.
This activity was suspended due to the PGES training. Plans are to
reinstate for the upcoming school year.
Work continues with continued emphasis for End Of Course classes.
Counselors are beginning to utilize the report along with CCR status
reports.
Before several administrations of the EPAS system, BCHS has
hosted after school content sessions.

differentiation, and group students according to their CCR needs. ACT

have development outlines for the various pathways. Posters and
pamphlets are scheduled to be developed and printed for the 14-15
school year.
The current literacy rotation is planned to continue for the 14-15
school year.
There has been an increase in parent and student meetings during
the year. BCHS will continue to communicate CCR information to
students and parents in these meetings
An increase in parent/student meetings has occurred during this
school year. The topics have mainly centered on scheduling and
discipline. Career/College issues plans to be a topic of more
meetings.
BCHS continues to seek input from community leaders especially as it
pertains to CCR.
Groups were targeted in WIN classes and strategies were utilized to
help them reach benchmarks and review to take the appropriate tests
During our freshman CCR time deliberate scheduling is conducted in
order to offer the needed assistance for individual students.
This is the first year that our Freshman Academy has devoted specific
time for CCR. The program will be fully evaluated at the conclusion of
this school year and appropriate changes will be made.
Students are tracked in their performance on the CCR tests, and
grouped accordingly
The Guidance Department has developed and used the form with all
current seniors.
Plans for continued communications are ongoing.
May 14, 2015 Brad Johnson
The BCHS committee continues to offer activities that are a part of our
overall plan.
Efforts are increasing to keep more constant contact with parents and
frequency of phone calls to parents and parent meetings are utilized
across all 4 grades
Plan for this activity has not been implemented. All teachers are
encouraged to contact parent/guardians but no oversight is in place.
News items continue to be posted on these electronic message
boards.

May 10, 2014 Ellen Blevins
BCHS continues to explore new pathways and opportunities for
students. Scheduling is reflective to student needs and progress in the
pathways
The use of the pathways is increasing both with the individual student
schedules and also with the decision of class offerings within the
individual departments.
College Street campus continues to be utilized to provide better
learning environments for students
At this time we do not have students as part time. It remains an
option and is used only if the circumstances warrant such an action.

Several students will become early graduates this spring. It is
believed that several of these students would have been dropouts if
not for this program. In addition several students have enrolled at

student to work and finish school.
The process continues for the 14-15 school year.
PGES has been utilized to evaluate the first cycle of teachers, and
administration have met with evaluatees and used the instrument
effectively. the comfort level among the BCHS staff has increased
