Reminders

ARRIVING AFTER 8:05 AM?
If your child arrives after 8:05 AM, we kindly ask that you stop by the office with your child and sign them in using the kiosk in the vestibule. Thanks for helping us keep our attendance records accurate!

RTI will take place daily at 8:15 a.m., so it’s important that students arrive on time to take full advantage of this valuable academic support.

DISMISSAL CHANGES
The office must be notified of all dismissal changes by 2:30 PM. We truly appreciate the communication you share with teachers, but there are additional steps that need to be completed in the office. By notifying the office, you ensure that all parties are updated and informed, including your child’s classroom teacher.

Please notify us by one of the following:
📞 Call the office at 660-882-6527
📧 Email db@bpsk12.net
💬 Send a direct message to Leah Jonkers through ParentSquare

🚍 Bus riders only: Contact First Student at 660-882-7421 to update bus arrangements.
Thank you for helping us keep every child safe and dismissal running smoothly!

Red Ribbon Week – Promoting a Healthy, Drug-Free Lifestyle!

The week of October 20, our school will celebrate Red Ribbon Week, a national initiative encouraging students to make safe and healthy choices. Throughout the week, students will participate in fun activities, dress-up days, and lessons focused on the importance of staying drug-free.

Let’s come together as a school community to show our commitment to health, safety, and making positive choices!
