What is Club Bobcats?
Bobcats is a school care program that is available before school (7:30-7:45 am) and after school (3:15-5:30 pm).
How much does Bobcats cost?
Bobcats is it’s own entity, separate from tuition cost.
$8.00 for 1st child
$5.00 for 2nd child
$2.50 for any additional children
An added charge of $2.00 a minute will be applied for every minute you are late past 5:30 pm for afternoon Bobcats.
Who Teaches Club Bobcats?
Misty Garnett is the main teacher but Sarah Pope teaches some evenings.
If I leave my kiddo in Bobcats, do they have to stay for the whole time?
Not at all. They do not need to stay all the way up to 5:30, if you do not need them to. You are free to come pick them up anytime between 3:15-5:30.
Where do I pick my child up?
With our growing staff this year, Bobcats has now moved to the Shining Stars Classroom as our home base. We will be outside for a short recess if weather permits or in the gym. In most cases, we will end the evening in the classroom (unless stated otherwise).
If I sign up my student for Bobcats, do they need to come every day?
No. You can have your child in Bobcats whenever you need it. We are here to support you.
If I am running late, what do I do?
Don’t panic! In Bobcats, we understand that things happen and sometimes can be out of your control; whether it be demanding jobs or family matters. The best thing you can do for us is communicate! You can message the Teachers on Brightwheel or you can contact the school.

Student Counseling
Read More
There are many staff members that counsel students regularly. In those moments the Principal, Chaplain, Teachers and others make every effort to point students back to God’s Word and biblical values. However there are occasions when a more formal counseling approach is needed. To that end Bookcliff Christian School is blessed to have Mrs. Kennilyn Wright who serves, in addition to other administrative roles, as our school counselor. Mrs. Wright has a Master’s degree in school counseling and over a decade of counseling experience in Mesa County. If you or your student are struggling, please reach out to Mrs. Wright who faithfully uses her gifts to minister to students, parents, families, and staff. Contact Mrs. Wright

Educational Intervention & Support Program
Read More
The EISP program provides educational interventions for students struggling in academic areas. Interventions may include one to one tutoring, small group tutoring, and/or classroom based interventions. The goal of the program is to provide an internal resource for students to become proficient in their work and, after a time, meet school standards for academic proficiency. The program is slowly evolving and we continue to develop a team of volunteers and staff who have teaching, tutoring and special education backgrounds and/or experience. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us and ask about joining this important program.
