Weather Information
Winter weather delays and cancelations for BBCA go by Derry Area School District. Once we have their info, we try to send a school text to everyone on our newsletter list. Most bus companies will follow the school district you live in (i.e. if Latrobe delays, the bus delays, even if Derry does not). To help ensure students do not have to add make-up days, we have students take home their PACEs when bad weather is expected to do their daily goals. Exceptions to this (i.e. no work or partial work expected) will be noted in the school text that cancels school for the day. If you have any questions about this, please contact the school.
Academic Release Days
As an academic incentive for our students, we are making the first week back after Christmas break Academic Release Days. This means that students who have a full half-year of work done by December 13th will earn those days off. For the average student, that means six stars in each subject. Supervisors will send home a note that last week of school before Christmas break if your student is eligible to have those days off. This will not include kindergarten as they will have an alternate week off school in February.
Basketball
Practices will begin on Tuesday, December 3rd. There will also be a mini-camp later in the month. You can find more details about practices and games on the school calendar page.
Thanksgiving Break
Thanksgiving break begins on Wednesday, November 27th and will extend through Monday, December 2nd. School will resume Tuesday, December 3rd.
