Terra Nova includes many of the subjects that your child is
taught in school, ranging from reading comprehension to
Bible. For each question, several answers are given and the
student must select the best possible answer. The teacher
will be reviewing sample questions before the Terra Nova is
given in order to make sure your child understands the proper
testing procedures. Students in grades kindergarten through
eight will take part in this educational assessment.
Terra Nova can only give certain types of information about
how your child is doing in school. To obtain a more complete
picture, you also need to know how your child does with daily
classwork, other tests the teacher gives, homework and other
activities.
The testing will begin promptly each morning at 8:00 am. Stu-
dents who arrive after the testing has begun will not be allowed
to enter the classroom until the day’s testing has been complet-
ed. Please make sure your child arrives to school on time.
During the week of testing there will be no homework in ele-
mentary school and only test practice homework in middle
school. If you have any questions about the testing, please feel
free to ask your child’s teacher or contact Mr. Manning.
Results should be returned to the school in late May. The acad-
emy will issue the results to each family as soon as possible.

Crusaders Move 2018
The BCA “Crusaders Move” Physical Activity Club, is a fitness incentive program designed to
promote exercise of at least 60 minutes a day. Our school encourages students to set fitness goals in a
community based setting and we as a school, will recognize student achievement at specified levels of
physical activity. Crusaders Move is not designed to be competitive but is designed for the enjoyment
and fellowship of BCA families. Below is some important information that will be beneficial to you and
your family.
When is the Physical Activity Club? – We will officially kick off the club with a school
wide celebration on April 9th at 2:00. The program will finish on May 4th.
Where does it take place? – You can be physically active anywhere! Here at school or at
home in your community. If you are being physically active, record it on your student
activity sheet. A copy of the activity sheet was sent home with your child last week.
What is the student activity sheet? – Anytime you are participating in physical activity
away from school, you must record your child’s name, the adult supervising the activity,
the date, the amount of time (in minutes) that you participated, and the specific activity
you participated in. Your child’s teacher will collect your student activity sheet once a
week to record your totals. Your teacher will decide what day the student activity sheet
is due.
Does physical activity at school count towards my goal? – Yes, while your child is at
school they are receiving time to be physically active. Your child’s teacher will be respon-
sible for recording their minutes while they are in school. Your child’s teacher will collect
your student activity sheet once a week and combine the data to keep track of the total
number of minutes your child has been physically active. We will have a buddy walk held
on 4/18 and 4/26. A buddy walk will allow our older students to pair up with younger stu-
dents to exercise together. This is always a lot of fun for our students!
Does it have to be supervised? – Yes, the goal of the program is to encourage exercise and
quality time with your family. Supervision by a family member or qualified adult also
ensures the child’s safety and health while exercising.
Do I have to set a fitness goal? – You are encouraged to set a goal to help you develop the
habit of participating in physical activity. Each elementary child will receive a token and
necklace when they reach 10 hours of physical activity. They will receive additional to-
kens for every 5 hours of activity. A medal is awarded for 35 hours and trophies are
awarded at 50, 75, and 100 hours. These medals and trophies will be awarded on the last
day of school at our annual awards ceremony.
Nutrition – You are encouraged to pack nutritious snacks for your child during the week. If
your child brings a healthy snack to school each day, they will receive an extra token for
the week. Healthy snacks would include fruits (apple), vegetables (carrots), and dairy
products (yogurt). Your child’s teacher will keep a record of when your child has a
healthy snack.
We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to inspire your children to be healthy,
physically active, and spend quality time together. Together, we can build stronger bodies and minds to
be used by God to glorify him. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this program, please use
my email below. I’m looking forward to seeing what amazing things you do!
