Environments
OUTDOOR:
BCCS is proud of our on-going initiative, "Growing BC!" This comprehensive and multidisciplinary project engages the cross-collaboration of the district's Curriculum and Instruction, Community Engagement, Wellness, Nutrition Services and Facilities departments, along with many external district partners to increase access to the outdoors and high-quality learning opportunities in nature. Scroll to the bottom section of the page to read through the list of some of the opportunities available.
INDOOR:
BCCS recognizes that exposure to scented products in schols has potential negative impacts on the health of students and staff. The district is a fragrance-friendly environment to support the health of all stakeholders. As such, chemical air fresheners are not to be used. The use of scented products that produce a scent strong enough to be perceived by others, including, but not limited to aerosol products, colognes, perfumes, after-shave products, body sprays, room sprays and other fragrance products is discouraged.
The Share The Air posters are posted in the buildings, and are available for printing to post in classrooms and office spaces.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: NUTRITION 101 EDUCATIONAL COHORTS
