New KindergartenersThe first day of Kindergarten is Monday, August 15th! Many of our newest Explorers had a wonderful "soft start" last week learning the routines and meeting new friends. Kindergarten car riders can be dropped off on the SIDE car loop in the mornings and picked up in the FRONT car loop in the afternoons. Be sure to have your LIME GREEN car tag ready. Parents are welcome to park and walk their child to the front doors in the morning, but please say your good-byes there. Reminder: due to district protocols, families are not permitted inside campus during arrival or dismissal. Trustworthy staff members will meet your child at the door and ensure they arrive to their classroom and returned to you at the end of each day. | New PreKThe first day of VPK is Wednesday, August 17th!

BPS policy indicates that only individuals on the student contact list are permitted to bring in or drop off a meal for their child.
