Interrupting class during education time makes it difficult for teachers. It is important to inform your child of their after-school arrangements before school. If it is an emergency and you need to call during that day, make sure it is before 2:30 to enable us to have time to deliver the message.  After 2:30 we may not be able to notify the student.

If your child has an appointment, they need a cut slip. Please send a signed note, your student comes to the office before school for a REQUIRED cut-slip allowing them to come to the office at the stated time. This is necessary to not interrupt class and also if the students are in gym, band, or choir we cannot call into those areas.

If your child will be absent for a full day or more, please send a note previous to those dates so they can get an Advanced Dismissal slip and have all their teachers sign it.

Please text Harlows if your student is not riding the bus home in the afternoon.  If for any reason you pick up your student and they will not be riding the bus home you need to text 701-354-2625 to let Harlows know.

A reminder:  Cell phones are to be IN a student's locker and turned off.

                   If they need to get a hold of their parents, they MUST come to the front office or student services

                   If your student is not feeling well they MUST go to student services before calling home.

BPS continues to improve safety standards across the district. One of our most current physical safety upgrades is the installation of buzzers at all pre-K-8 schools.

Effective 2018-2019 school year, pre-K-8 buildings will have buzzer access control. For buildings with a line of sight to the front door, a simple buzzer with speakerphone will be installed. For buildings without line of sight to the front door, a camera buzzer system will be installed. All visitors must now buzz the office and speak to a secretary before leaving the main entrance.
