Quick links & resources for families
New and returning students and families will see schedule information—including advisors, classes, and afternoon activities—when PowerSchool goes live at the beginning of August; MS and US schedules go live at the same time.
Families will receive an email from the Registrar’s Office in August with their login information. We ask all parents/caregivers to update/confirm their contact information in PowerSchool before the start of school.
- More about PowerSchool: PowerSchool is Beaver’s online student information system for students and parents. It contains end-of-term grades, class schedules, attendance records, a zip code list, a family directory, and course registration (for students only).
- Who to contact if you need help: Contact the Registrar’s Office at registrar@bcdschool.org.
Beaver works with Magnus Health to collect and store health forms in its secure database.
New families will receive an email from Magnus in early August with their username and password. All of the required forms are available on the Magnus website and must be completed before your child can participate in pre-season athletics and school activities.
- Who to contact if you need help: For questions about health records and forms, contact our School Nurse, Talia Ossowski.
