Any student being dropped off by parents between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:35 am should follow signs at the main entrance to drop students off. Follow the traffic pattern around the school to the end of the road. All students then will walk up the sidewalk and enter through the main entrance.

PowerSchool login information is located on the website under For Students and can be accessed at https://www.bbrsd.org/Domain/10.
Student materials drop off
In an attempt to minimize the amount of disruptions during classes and to alleviate the need to call in to the classrooms, we are asking parents to drop items for their student off before 10:00 am. There will be a table for this purpose in the lobby. Please label the item(s) with your child’s name printed clearly and place the labelled bag at your child’s grade level section. It will be up to your child to check this table during his/her lunch for any items you have dropped off. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in this matter.
