ALL of our conferences will be virtual - there will be no face-to-face conferences at this time.  You may select a phone conference, or request a conference using Google Meets. Conferences are also scheduled with the homebase teacher ONLY.  If you need to speak with more than one teacher on your student's team, please make arrangements to do so at a later date.

Jean’s Day is Friday, January 29, 2021. Jean’s Day is Friday, January 29, 2021. The Jeans Day charity for the month of January is Sleepy Hollow Theatre and Arts Park. Established in 1990, Sleepy Hollow Theatre & Arts Park’s vision is total emersion in nature with youth in the arts as our humanizing focus. Sleepy Hollow Theatre & Arts Park involves young people by showcasing large theatrical Broadway style musicals outdoors at the park. This has been possible due to outstanding community sponsors and our ability to attract about 10,000 people annually to quality full scale production programming. As a force moving forward for all people, Sleepy Hollow Theatre & Arts Park’s mission is to nurture youth by providing quality pre-professional educational opportunities in the arts that result in the cultural enrichment of our communities and state. Please visit www.shtap.org and thank you for helping us grow together! Thank you for your continued support of the Jeans Day Program – it really does make a difference in the lives of so many! Warm regards, Bismarck Tribune

Visitors must enter the school through the main entrance at 1218 Simle Drive and check in at the school office prior to going to any other areas of the building. Visitors will be issued a visitor badge, which should be worn during the visit and returned to the office when leaving the building. All doors entering the school will be locked during school hours.

Please do not double park in front of the school. This causes congestion and danger for students on foot. Please do not drop off or pick up students in the parking places reserved for staff and school buses. This will help in getting the area cleared as quickly as possible. Attempt to meet your child in a designated spot near the school to avoid congestion. Students arriving at school before 8:00 a.m. may go to the cafeteria for breakfast, to their assigned grade level gathering area, or remain outside weather permitting.

In the morning, students can be dropped off on the West side of the building at the 19th Street entrance before 7:45 a.m. After 7:45 a.m., students can come in on the East or West side entrances. Once the school day starts at 8:08 a.m., all students will have to enter on the Simle Drive entrance. This is the same for any guests entering the building.

We are asking for donations of diapers, wipes, tampons, and feminine pads. These donations will help serve children 0-18 that receive support from the BPS Students in Transition program, BECEP, South Central High School, all BPS social workers working with families in need, Healthy Families of Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota, and the Adopt-A-Block program.

We have seen an evident need to help people in our community with basic items such as diapers, wipes, and feminine hygiene products. This underlying need in our community is now exacerbated due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting rising unemployment. WIC and SNAP benefits help with food, but do not help with these items or other personal hygiene items for children and families in our community. A group of organizations along with faith leaders are working with families and have come together with the goal of meeting the current above-mentioned needs and building relationships between churches and organizations to continue and increase the scope of support into the future.

Our first goal is to collect and build resources so the above organizations can distribute to families in need. Donations can be dropped off at:

Century Baptist Church (205 Colt Dr.) Monday & Thursday 11:00 am-1:00 pm.

Evangel Church (3225 N 14th St.) Wednesday 12:00-1:00 pm.

J&R Vacuum (223 E Main Ave) Monday-Friday 9:00 am-6:00 pm. Drop off at loading dock and call 258-5619 at time of delivery.

To have donations picked up, call Becky Matthews at 701-220-5271. To learn more about the Needs Nook, contact her at rebecca239@bis.midco.net or 701-220-5271.

Donate to Student Cold-Weather Efforts
BPS social workers have identified the need for snow boots, snow pants and water-repellent gloves for students in need.  If you would like to make a monetary donation to help purchase these items, please go to https://www.bpsfoundation.com/donations/kidskicks/.

Donate to Family Assistance Fund
The Bismarck Public Schools Foundation (BPSF) has established a COVID-19 BPS Family Assistance Fund.  Those that wish to donate may do so through the foundation website or by mail. To donate online, go to https://www.bpsfoundation.com/donations/cv19bps-faf/. To donate by mail, send checks to the BPS Foundation at 806 N. Washington St., Bismarck, ND 58501 and write “COVID-19” in the memo line. Families seeking assistance are encouraged to reach out to their counselor or social worker who will connect them to established community resources as well as submit requests for funding needs that cannot be met within existing resources. The BPSF thanks those who have already reached out to volunteer and/or provide monetary donations to help those within our community who are struggling.

Donate to Student Feeding Efforts
BPS has had many kind offers to help with student feeding. If you want to make a monetary donation to help feed students in need, go to www.bpsfoundation.com/meals. 

Fall kindergarten registration is now open for children who will be 5 years old on or before July 31. Go to www.bismarckschools.org/Page/3781 to get information to complete your child’s registration.

NOTE: Parents who do not register any student, grades K-5, by August 1 may not be assured a spot in their neighborhood school due to lack of space, so register early!
