The district has updated guidance regarding parents and visitors effective December 1, 2021:

• Due to continued social distancing and limited visitors in the classroom, we are sorry that parents will not be allowed to attend the classroom holiday celebrations this year.
• Due to lack of space and continued social distancing, parents may not request to have lunch with students at this time.
• Students will continue to walk to class independently at drop off.
• Late check in, early check out, and ASP check out procedures will remain the same at this time.

We appreciate your continued support at BSI.
