Attention BIS families: There was some confusion at this morning's student drop-off. Let's make sure we're all clear on the drop-off/pick up procedure. Please take a moment to review the map and share with any other families who might be picking students up at the BIS. Thank you!

There is one more school supply we are asking our students and parents to bring for our first day tomorrow and that is PATIENCE! Please remember that the first few days of school are challenging for just about everyone. There are bound to be a few hiccups along the way. We ask for your understanding as we get back to work at BCS.

It was a somber day for 3 BJSHS students on the Washington DC trip. The students placed a wreath in remembrance at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The moment was especially meaningful for the students, who were accompanied on the trip by their US veteran fathers. #BruinProud
