Your kids are alright! 😊 We're off to a great start to the first day back to school at BCS! Thanks to everyone for making the arrival to school a smooth one this morning! This is also a friendly request for patience for the first day's dismissal. It's always a little chaotic for the first week or so. Please expect some delays.
