We're getting a makeover!
Just a quick note to let you know that our BPS website will be down for just a bit tomorrow, beginning around 9 AM, as we transition to an upgraded version! It should be back up by the end of the day. This will not affect our communication tools at all. Please contact your school office should you need something while the site is down.
Have a great day!


Tomorrow is the last day to order from our virtual book fair. Thank you BMS families for all of your support!
