## What is BCS Parent Hub?

BCS Hub is the official app for Bethel Christian School. Families and staff can securely access essential tools and information in one place:

School‑wide announcements and messages
Teacher directory with profiles and contact options
Events and school calendars
Volunteer opportunities and hours tracking
Account approvals and user management (administrators)
Optional passkey sign‑in (Face ID/Touch ID) for fast, secure access


BCS Hub uses industry‑standard security via Firebase Authentication and role‑based access (Parent, Teacher, Administrator). Some Google experiences (e.g., Calendar) open in the device browser for best sign‑in compatibility.
