Our Story Dear BPS Families, Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year. While we are beginning the year under circumstances that none of us could have predicted a year ago, I know that our staff are going to do their best to support your family and set your child up for a successful school year. The beginning of the year will be about not only getting familiar with our new learning platforms, but also about getting familiar with each other. While we may not be able to meet face-to-face, providing opportunities to speak openly will keep us better connected during this difficult time. Our Story Starts We face unprecedented challenges, but I take heart in knowing we have the best possible team of staff and parents/guardians that is willing to go above and beyond to make our students feel supported. Please reach out to your child’s school if you experience any trouble during the remote learning period.
