Students and parents from across the region are invited to attend an information evening.  Information will be shared regarding the vision, mission, schedule, programs, the transfer policy, and application process.

Due to building capacity regulations, we request that only students and parents interested in attending BCSS for the school year 2018 – 2019  attend one of these evening sessions. Parking is limited so we ask that parents carpool or park at the GO Station. Markham By-law officers regularly enforce the parking regulations on school property, so please abide by the posted parking regulations.
