Visitors
Safety in our schools is always important to us! Please know that BPS has a safety plan that is practiced, reviewed and updated often. We practice safety procedures with students and staff. We require ALL visitors, parents and guardians that are visitors during the school day, to sign in at the office as you enter. We ask that visitors sign out upon leaving as well, as this will help us know who is in the building.
When a student comes past 8:35 in the morning, they must stop at the office and get a tardy slip in order to head to class so they are not counted absent. When picking up a student early, please stop at the office, sign them out and we will call the student down to meet you in the office.Thank you for your assistance with the safety of all our children!
