Prepare for School This Week
Beginning Monday, April 12, all BMS students who attend in-person will be at school 5 days a week until 3, except on Wednesdays when they will be dismissed at 1pm.
Lunches will be very different than in the past. On any given day, about half of students will be eating outside and they will rotate on a regular basis between indoor and outdoor locations. Outdoor areas are partially tented and will provide some protection from rain and sun.
This week will be cool and overcast with some possible showers on some days. Dress accordingly for both outdoor dining and scheduled outdoor snack/mask breaks during the school day.
There are also changes to the dropoff and pickup routine. The front entrance is ONLY for students arriving in certain buses and vans or those who are tardy, arriving after 8:45. All other students must enter through their own neighborhood doors between 8:30-8:45. Those eating breakfast may enter through the cafeteria doors at 8:15.
Please review this letter that went out Thursday to families with lots of details about changes that begin on Monday, April 12. Highlights are below, but please read the memo closely for details!
