Parents and Guardians,
All bus routes (Including 79 & 97) are safe and clear to travel this afternoon. Thank you so much for your patience.
Parents and Guardians,
Bus Route 79 still has sections that are underwater. The bus will not travel through these unsafe areas this afternoon. Route 97 is clear for buses to pass. Thank you!
If you received a text or voicemail today regarding your child's lunch status changing. That change was made due to your student(s) being on the list provided to the district from the state. Most likely, your child(ren) receives Medicaid. If you have any questions, please reach out to Wendy Pannell at wpannell@bpsbearcats.com
Parents and guardians,
Bus routes 79 and 97 have areas that are underwater making it unsafe for the buses to travel through. If this area is still underwater in the morning, a bus will not be able to pick up your children. If you cannot get your child to school safely, please call your child's building, and we will excuse their absence. Your child's safety is of utmost importance to all of us. Be careful!
Special Speaker tomorrow.

It's 1909 and the shirtwaist industry in New York is making profits of $50 million. But the young girls who work in the factories earn barely enough to live on, and their working conditions are brutal. When their pleas for help are rejected by the male-dominated union, the young girls who work at Johannsen's Shirtwaist Factory band together to fight for a better life. They endure beatings, starvation, and even prison, but ultimately prevail, as the shirtwaist girls win the first industry-wide strike in American labor history. However, the girls' real victory is in changing the way they see themselves—not as victims, but as fighters—and in discovering the power of sisterhood.
"To See The Stars” is based on actual events surrounding the New York City Triangle Shirtwaist Strike of 1909, an event that changed labor history and brought recognition of the rights of women in the American workplace
