Recently, I've heard about several students leaving BSS midyear. Is something going on? Does it say more about BSS or the school that the kids are transferring into now? We are parishioners applying to the school and I just want to go into things with my eyes open.

Hmm what great mid year? Boys and girls leaving? That’s a little surprising because we’ve been happy there as well as our friends who’s children attend, but ours are young. Are these middle schoolers?

It's because the parents failed to buy a Yukon and have the requisite amount of Vineyard Vines wear by a certain deadline.

Ha! OP here. I’m aware of two 5th grade girls. I’ve heard rumors of boys, but no direct knowledge.

BS parent: It happens at every school. I have heard of one girl leaving, but I have also heard of two boys coming in mid-year. Talk to the the vice-principal. She is lovely and will give you the real story, not rumors.

Yes, just send an email to the Assustant Proncipal posing this question. And just see what she says.

As a family who transferred in mid year (and we weren’t the only ones) it isn’t that uncommon to have movement mid year.

This crazy talk. I’ve never heard of this happening any where else. Clearly something is terribly wrong at bss.

You have never heard of someone leaving a school mid-year??? Never heard of someone move towns?

Are the families staying in the area? If yes - something is wrong.

The homework load is a little heavy there- This week my 10 year old has 5 tests. One being cumulative, plus all the other homework.

I think it's a Catholic school thing...my daughter also had a lot of homework at that age and now. Too much in my opinion, but I would rather have that than what is happening in public school.

+1 There must be some major problems to leave mid-year

I don’t think anyone would leave mid-year because of too much homework. Doesn’t make sense.

I think a lot of kids plan on transferring in middle school and if a spot opens mid year they take it because they planned on leaving the following fall anyways
