New Family Welcome

If you are new to the Briarcrest system, mark your calendars for Thursday, August 6, at 4:15 pm to attend a new family welcome event in the Middle School building.

Code of Conduct

As we enter a new school year, please be reminded that incidents of inappropriate behavior as defined in the Student Code of Conduct are addressed whether on or off-campus. Parents and students are encouraged to thoroughly read the policy as presented in the Parent/Student Handbook.

Dress Code

Please remember that our students are expected to dress appropriately for outdoor sporting events as well as school-day activities. Our expectation in this regard is similar to our in-school policy: modesty and appropriateness. Students are reminded that they represent BCMS both at school and in attendance at school-sponsored events. The Dress Code is available in the Downloads Section.

8th Grade Washington Trip

Each spring, the 8th Grade class travels to Washington, D.C. where students will learn about American history and our Christian heritage firsthand with Christian Discoveries. A registration packet with pricing, a sample itinerary, and more information will be emailed to each 8th grade student. Please contact the Middle School Office if you do not receive this information. Registration information can be found at www.christiandiscoveries.org. The Briarcrest Christian Middle School ID Number will be announced when received.

Helpful Information

Parking Decals

All parents must have a new parent parking sticker each school year on their vehicles. To obtain the sticker, please log in to the Briarcrest website as a parent and go to the "Resource" page. Click on the link for parent parking decal. Once the form has been completed and submitted online, your new decal will be mailed to you. Each family receives two free decals each year. After that, the cost is $5 each and can be paid online with the online form.

Student ID

Student IDs

Each student at BCMS is required to have a student ID card. This card is not only useful for purposes of identification, but can also be used as a debit card for purchases made in the cafeteria. Students may obtain this card from the Saint Shop during the hours listed on the Saint Shop webpage. Current students may continue to use their cards while new students will be issued an ID following orientation. Lost cards may be replaced for a $5 fee. Note: While cafeteria workers will try to inform students when the balance on the ID card falls below $15.00, it is the responsibility of each student/parent to make certain that adequate funds are credited to the card for all necessary purchases. Students may not "charge" food or other items.

Athletic Physicals

All students must have a physical dated after April 15, 2025 to participate in a school-sponsored sport. These physicals must be on file in the Middle School Office prior to participation in any of our athletic endeavors for 25/26. A physical can be obtained from your private physician or through the Briarcrest Sports Physical Program.

Required Athletic Forms

In addition to the athletic physical (see above), all required forms are maintained through our online athletic software site, PrivIT. A link to this site is located on the Middle School Athletic Page under downloads. All documents on PrivIT must be completed before students may participate in any sport.

Car Line & Campus Traffic

Traffic Issues

Ensuring the safety of our students as they enter and exit the campus each day is a high priority for us at BCMS. Information regarding morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up will be given at the parent information meeting on Orientation Day. When pick-up of multiple students is necessary, students should report to the pick-up zone of the youngest sibling.
