BSD Briefs
June 8, 2020
District Goal: WE empower all students to achieve post-high school success.
Stay Informed This Summer!
The June 15 issue of the BSD Briefs will be the last issue for the 2019-2020 school year. As the District works to develop a plan for safely welcoming students and staff back to school in the fall there may be opportunities for District-wide communications. We will send communications via SchoolMessenger to family’s email addresses. We will also post important information on our District website and social media platforms. Please check your email regularly throughout the summer to stay informed.
Have a safe and restful summer!
Kindergarten Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do you have questions about Kindergarten? Check out the general Kindergarten FAQ populated by our virtual Kindergarten Q&A session that was held on May 19. It is a work in progress. This FAQ is not meant to answer questions related to the 2020-21 school year and COVID-19. The District has a team working on return to school plans and that information will be shared this summer.
