🐾 First week fun! We were so glad to have our building full of Cougar Cubs last week and can't wait to see them all again tomorrow! (Check our Facebook for more photos; we can only post 10 here.)
🐾 We cannot wait to welcome our Cougar Cubs back to BPS for the 2026-2027 school year tomorrow! Please read these transportation reminders that will help keep our students safe and our school day running smoothly!
🌞 Morning Arrival- School begins at 7:55 AM, and our car rider doors close at 7:50 AM. If your child arrives after that time, an adult will need to bring them to the main office to be signed in.
📝 Early Dismissal- Please send a written note in advance with the pick-up time and the name of the adult picking up your child. Bus changes must be received by 2:00 PM.
⏰Please plan early dismissals before 2:00 PM. After 2:00, we begin our end-of-day dismissal procedures and cannot release students from the office.
⭐Thank you for helping us make BPS a stellar success as we soar into a new school year!
