BCS partners with parents to ensure the safety and well-being of all students. Any student not picked up from elementary or junior high by the assigned pickup time will be sent to AfterCare so that all students are accounted for and kept safe. Students cannot be picked up from school and then left unsupervised on the Bethel Church campus so it is of utmost importance that they check in to AfterCare.
