BPS has a new process for ensuring that all of our volunteers have had background checks.  If you wish to volunteer in a classroom, on a field trip or for our Watch D.O.G.S. program, you will need to read through and complete the volunteer handbook which is linked below.  Please turn in the back page to the office and we will send it in to start the process.
