CBE 2024-2025 Calendar 

As BP families plan their lives, including travel, we request consideration of the published CBE calendar of non-instructional days: 

Similar to this school year, a Fall Break has been set in November, in addition to the customary Winter and Spring breaks. Maintaining regular school attendance, and planning travel during scheduled breaks, is vital to success in learning and social development.
