We invite all families to share their feedback with us via the survey accessible there as well. Thank you for your help! -Supt. Miller

Good morning, Spartans! We have an important message for you from Supt. Miller today. Please visit the link below to view this message in its entirety. Wishing everyone a wonderful day! "I do know that we don’t have to live another person’s experiences to empathize or care. We just need to listen, without bias or judgment, and allow our hearts to be moved to make change. We should genuinely listen to our fellow citizens and hear their stories. Seek to understand. Work with others in our community to help make our schools, our city, and our world a better place for every human being." - Supt. Miller https://5il.co/h23d

Peach Jar Pro Tip! Parents, BPS "muted" Peach Jar, so to speak, during distance learning with the exception of internal flyers, as to not overwhelm families with more information coming electronically. We will be "unmuting" as of today. Remember, you can control how often you receive Peach Jar emails! See pics for details!

It's almost time for Pre-K and new Kindergarten enrollment! Please see below for details! Pro tip: gather the required documents and make sure they are saved electronically to the device you'll use to enroll! This ensures uploading will be easy and streamlined!
