Berkley Community School

Involvement is Key....

Welcome to the Berkley Community School! At BCS, we believe that the involvement of parents and community members enhances and expands the program of education that we provide for our students. Thus, we invite you to share in the BCS experience by taking advantage of the involvement opportunities described in this brochure. Your participation is wanted and appreciated!

BPTO/BCS Activities Committee

The Berkley Parent Teacher Organization oversees an Activities Committee at both schools in Berkley.  The Activities Committee of the Berkley Community School has two main purposes. The first is to raise funds to provide various resources to the students of BCS. Additionally, the BCS Activities Committee hosts varied activities to benefit the students of BCS such as family dances, the Winter Wonderland Night and the Spring Family Picnic. The Berkley Community School Activities Committee oversees the Box Tops program. The BCS Activities Committee meets monthly in the BCS cafeteria.
