Bonjour BP families. Below are your weekly updates. Please take note of the many new dates added at the bottom, as we approaching the finish line to the end of the school year! You'll notice many new experiences both onsite and offsite or our students as we continue to plan for engaging lessons to close out the year.
Bus Transportation for 24-25
For families eligible for bus transportation for their child(ren) next year, please watch for more information coming up to pre-register for bus service next year. As soon as the deadlines and link are available, I will also share them. You will likely receive an email from the CBE for this. It's important to pre-register your child(ren) before the deadline, as this is the information used when planning bus stops and routes for the 24-25 school year.
