NO SCHOOL Thursday, Dec. 22 through Monday, Jan. 2
There will be no in-person classes for BPS students on Thursday, December 22nd due to the severely cold temperatures and wind chills forecasted for this day. This is NOT a virtual learning day. It will be determined later in the school year if this day must be made up later in the year.
The next time your children will report to their schools will be Tuesday, January 3rd. Until then, we wish you Happy Holidays and a joyous New Year! Stay safe and warm!
Join the BPS English Learner Family Facebook Group
The group is open to adults who have a child who attends Bismarck Public Schools and have another language spoken in their home. BPS English Learner Program staff members and community resource providers are also eligible to join.
There are two rules that group members must follow:
1. Be Kind and Courteous--We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let's treat everyone with respect, regardless of ethnicity, race, culture, language, or beliefs.
2. Keep Your Religious Beliefs to Yourself--We are of many different faiths. You may post information about your church/synagogue/mosque's service times/dates/links so group members can access them if they choose. But no sermons here, please.
We also encourage you to use the comments to translate a post into your heritage language so that non-English-speaking parents may better understand the contents of the post.
