Students with Special Needs
The i-CARE before and after school program welcomes all BCSC students. In accordance with BCSC Policy 2260, i-CARE does not discriminate on the basis of any Protected Class, including disability. If you have a child with a disability or medical condition requiring additional services, we encourage you to contact the school's i-CARE site coordinator to discuss the services available at that site. Because i-CARE is an optional program that is outside of the regular school day, the level of services available are not the same as during school.
