This may cause closure or delays on State Street. Michigan Ave. and Grand Traverse Ave. should remain open. Thank you for your understanding.

Welcome back BR! Reminder- today (8/22) school gets dismissed at 11:30am. Tomorrow (8/23) is a full day. Daily schedules are posted on each school's homepage of the website. Check them out at www.brps.org. Let's have a great year!

We are thrilled to introduce our new district-wide safety signage at BRPS! These signs will enhance emergency response times, ensuring the safety of our students and staff. Each sign features a removable nameplate, providing a flexible and long-lasting solution for classroom or teacher changes. The signs will also help with wayfinding throughout our buildings for students, staff, or guests. This project was funded by a safety grant, which also supports the installation of exterior signs across all campuses to deter unauthorized personnel from approaching school buildings. These measures are part of our ongoing commitment to creating safe learning environments for everyone at BRPS. Check out these new safety signs at open houses next week!

Grab a copy of the Pioneer Press this Saturday (August 17) and you'll find the 𝐁𝐑𝐏𝐒 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭- loaded with upcoming fall events and other helpful resources.
